Common questions
Can I get a same day or next day appointment?
Yes, after you establish with one of our providers. We cap how many members each provider takes, which is what makes same or next day appointments possible. To book, message us through our member app or call the clinic. DPCA is appointment only and does not take walk-ins.
What does membership cost?
Adults age 18 and over are $89 a month. Children under 18 are $35 a month on a family account, and the family maximum is $248 a month for two adults and two or more children under 18. A minor enrolling on their own is $60 a month without the pharmacy benefit. There is a one time $75 enrollment fee per family. There is no copay at check-in and no deductible.
Is this insurance?
No. DPCA is a membership medical practice, not an insurance company. Your membership includes the care our providers deliver in our clinics. It does not include hospital stays, specialists, emergency care, or surgery. We recommend every member carry coverage for major medical events, and Momentum Benefits can help you find the right plan.
How do I become a member?
Sign up online in a few minutes using the Join DPCA button, or call the clinic nearest you and we will walk you through it. Once you are enrolled you get a welcome message, and then you schedule your first visit.
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes. We are always accepting new patients. We cap how many members each provider takes, so availability at a specific clinic can vary. Call the location you want and we will get you started.
