What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care means healthcare directly from your doctor, without insurance barriers. It’s simple, personal, and transparent.

Hitchcock Family Medicine provides exceptional, personalized primary care in Chattanooga, TN, and surrounding communities. By using a monthly membership instead of insurance, we simplify healthcare. This allows us to restore direct, meaningful relationships between patients and physicians. With Direct Primary Care, medical decisions return to you and your doctor, without interference from insurance companies.

What Makes Direct Primary Care Different

Here is a glimpse at the benefits of breaking away from traditional healthcare.

Direct Relationship with Board-Certified Physicians
Simple Monthly Membership
Transparent Pricing (No Co-Pays or Per-Visit Fees)
24/7 Communication + Free Telemedicine
Same or Next Day Acute Appointments*

*for established patients, at physician discretion

What services are offered?

We provide extended appointments, 24/7 access, procedures and more, all for a flat monthly fee.

We focus on relationships with our patients and ensuring they are an active part of their healthcare team. Our Direct Primary Care model allows us to spend more time with our patients to get to know them better and, ultimately, provide better care. We were the first DPC practice in Tennessee and are physician only (no NP’s or PA’s). Here is a list of services our team offers:

Instead of a per visit fee, our patients pay a flat monthly membership fee per person. We do offer a discounted monthly membership rate for children ages 3-17 and those that see the same physician as a parent. It works similarly to a Netflix subscription or a gym membership in that you pay every month rather than per visit. See pricing information below.

Monthly Subscriptions

  • Birth to 2 years – $99 per month
  • 3-17 years – $69 per month
  • 18 + years – $99 per month
  • Children who see the same physician as a parent: $39 per month
