Our story began in the Houston area with a small group of physicians that were concerned that medical workers in the area could not afford health care.
This group of Direct Primary Care physicians agreed to predetermined charges for Primary Care, and then created Patient-Physician Cooperatives (PPC). Without realizing it, this group of physicians created the first Direct Primary Care model. The model was officially recognized through legislation in the State of Washington and the term “Direct Primary Care” (DPC) was introduced into the medical marketplace vocabulary.
Our mission is to provide affordable access to health care for individuals and families through our membership plans. PPC has built strong Direct Primary Care relationships which allow us to offer upfront pricing with no hidden charges at our contracted Primary Care, Labs, and Imaging centers. Additionally, our members receive savings on prescriptions, dental, vision, and hearing.
