As a parent, you want the best care for your kids—personalized, convenient, and reliable. But if you’ve ever felt frustrated with long waits, rushed appointments, or surprise medical bills, you’re not alone.
That’s why some parents are looking beyond traditional pediatric care and exploring other options like Concierge Pediatrics and Direct Primary Care (DPC) Pediatrics.
Both models promise a more personal healthcare experience, with doctors who take the time to really know your family. But while they might seem similar at first, there are some big differences in how they work—and in how much they cost. Understanding these differences can help you figure out what’s right for your family.
In this post, we’ll break down how Concierge Pediatrics works, compare it to DPC, and show you why Family Tree Primary Care’s affordable family plans might just be the perfect fit for your healthcare needs.
What Are Concierge Pediatrics?
Concierge Pediatrics are a healthcare model designed to provide families with a more personalized and accessible experience for their child’s medical needs.
Unlike traditional pediatric care, where appointments can be rushed and scheduling can take weeks, concierge practices focus on offering high-touch, high-quality care with fewer patients and more time per visit.
In a concierge model, parents typically pay an annual or monthly membership fee in exchange for direct access to their pediatrician. This means shorter wait times, longer appointments, and more availability when urgent situations arise. Many concierge pediatric practices also include advanced diagnostic services or help with specialist coordination, making it easier for families to navigate more complex healthcare needs.
While concierge care offers many conveniences, it’s important to note that these practices often still bill insurance for services like labs, imaging, and procedures. This can lead to additional expenses, including co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs, on top of the membership fee.
Annual fees for concierge medicine can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the level of service offered and the location of the practice. While some families may find this model appealing, it’s not always a financially viable option for everyone.
If you’re looking for personalized care without the steep price and insurance hassles, there’s another option—Direct Primary Care Pediatrics, which offers many of the same benefits at a fraction of the cost.
How Do Direct Primary Care (DPC) Pediatrics Work?
If you’re looking for personalized pediatric care without the high costs of concierge medicine, Direct Primary Care (DPC) Pediatrics might be the perfect fit. It’s a simpler, more affordable alternative designed to give families easy access to high-quality healthcare without the hassle of insurance.
With DPC, families pay a flat monthly membership fee that covers most primary care services. There are no copays for office visits, no deductibles to meet, and no surprise bills after an appointment. This straightforward approach means parents can plan their healthcare expenses with confidence, knowing they’ll get comprehensive care without any hidden costs.
One of the standout benefits of DPC Pediatrics is the ability to schedule unlimited visits whenever your child needs care—whether it’s a routine checkup or a sick visit. And unlike traditional practices, where you might have to wait weeks for an appointment, DPC offers same-day or next-day availability for urgent concerns.
Another major advantage is direct access to your pediatrician. Through phone, text, or email, you can easily reach out to your child’s doctor for advice, prescriptions, or follow-up questions. This level of communication means fewer unnecessary office visits and more peace of mind for parents who want quick answers without delays.
In addition to personalized care, DPC provides transparent pricing and significant savings on labs, imaging, and prescriptions. Without the interference of insurance companies, many of these services are available at much lower rates, making DPC a budget-friendly solution for families.
At Family Tree Primary Care, DPC Pediatrics offers everything parents need to keep their kids healthy—plus the added benefit of affordable family plans that cover parents and children together.
Why Family Tree’s Direct Primary Care Is the Better Choice
Family Tree Primary Care’s Direct Primary Care (DPC) model offers many of the same benefits as concierge care but at a much lower cost and with a simpler, more transparent approach.
