Affordable Health Care for Michigan Creatives

Most working creatives in Metro Detroit are self-employed, which means no employer health plan. Direct primary care is a flat monthly membership for everyday doctor access, no insurance in the middle.

What is direct primary care?

Direct primary care (DPC) is a membership model. You pay the practice a flat monthly fee and get direct access to your doctor — visits, phone, text, and email — without insurance billing, copays, or per-visit charges. It does not cover hospital stays, surgeries, or major emergencies; that still needs insurance or a medical cost sharing program.
