Direct Primary Care

for Relationship-Based Medicine

Our practice is built around the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which allows us to practice medicine the way family doctors once did. We build real relationships with our patients, know their families personally, and take the time to provide thoughtful, individualized care.

What Is

Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care is a simple membership arrangement between you and your physician. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, patients pay a monthly membership fee that provides access to our services without the complexity of traditional insurance billing. This model allows us to spend more time with patients, offer high-quality care, and focus on what matters most — your health.

How Membership Works

When you join our practice, you receive comprehensive primary care along with a direct relationship with a doctor who knows you and your health history.

What’s Included

  • Primary and pediatric care (includes well-child visits)
  • Prenatal and obstetrical care*
  • Musculoskeletal care
  • Transparent costs and unhurried visits
  • Telehealth visits at your doctor’s discretion
  • Direct communication with your doctor

*Prenatal care is available at our practice as a separate package. Please ask us about our dedicated obstetric program to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Direct Primary Care insurance?

No. Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model and does not replace insurance. Instead of billing insurance companies, our Maine-based practice works directly with patients through a simple monthly membership.

Can I still have health insurance?

Yes. Many of our patients in Maine pair DPC with catastrophic insurance coverage for hospitalizations and major medical events, while using our practice for their primary care needs.

Does my insurance still cover tests or specialists?

Insurance companies typically determine coverage for outside services such as imaging or specialty consultations. When needed, we help coordinate care and guide you through your options.

Why should I choose Direct Primary Care with OCFM?

Our patients appreciate having a direct relationship with their doctor, easier access to care, longer visits, and transparent pricing — without the frustrations of traditional insurance-based practices.

Do you accept patients from outside Hampden?

Yes. While our office is located in Hampden, we care for patients who travel from across the state, including the Greater Bangor region and throughout Central, Eastern, and Northern Maine.
