Are your insurance premiums climbing every year… yet somehow your coverage feels worse?
If you’re tired of denials, delays, and endless red tape, you’re not alone — and you have options.

At Docs by the Bay Direct Primary Care, we offer an affordable membership model that gives you direct access to your primary care provider without relying on insurance for everyday needs.

👉 Why it works:
Because 80% of all healthcare interactions are with your primary care provider.
That means most of what you need can be handled directly through your DPC membership for as low as $900 per year.

✨ Unlimited visits
✨ Same/next-day availability
✨ Longer appointments
✨ Transparent pricing
✨ A provider who actually knows you

Then simply pair this with a high-deductible catastrophic insurance plan to protect you from unexpected hospitalizations, surgeries, or emergencies — often for far less than traditional insurance premiums.

If you’re ready for healthcare that’s simple, affordable, and personal, we’re here to help.

This is a fascinating and important finding! This is another great reason to get your Shingles vaccine, which is recommended for most adults who are over age 50. Ask your P*P about it soon!

But what do doctors think?
