Direct Primary Care Membership in Fargo, ND: Unlimited Visits, Transparent Pricing, Wholesale Labs and Meds

Direct primary care (DPC) is a membership model where you pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to your primary care provider, instead of your insurance being billed for every visit. Members get longer visits, direct messaging, wholesale pricing on labs and medications, and same-day or next-day appointments.

Concierge practices usually charge a much higher annual retainer and still bill your insurance for visits. DPC is a lower flat monthly fee, does not bill insurance for our services, and passes the wholesale cost of labs and medications directly to you.

Yes. DPC is not insurance and does not replace it. You should keep insurance (or a health-share plan) for hospitalizations, emergencies, specialists, imaging, and surgery. Many members pair DPC with a high-deductible plan.

Membership is billed monthly and priced by age band. Contact us at (701) 599-3950 or through the Meet & Greet form for current pricing. There are no visit copays and no per-visit fees on top of your membership.

In most cases yes, but tax treatment of DPC membership fees continues to evolve. We recommend confirming with your HSA/FSA administrator or accountant before enrolling.

You can cancel your membership at any time. Your medical record is yours; we will send a copy to your next provider on request.

Book a Meet & Greet visit. There is no obligation. You will meet Dr. Martens or Aly and ask any questions you have before deciding to enroll.

Yes. Virtual and telehealth visits are included with your membership. Many concerns, follow-ups, medication adjustments, lab reviews, and quick questions, can be handled by secure video or phone, so you get your provider's time without the trip to the clinic. When an in-person exam is needed, we'll have you come in.

A discovery call is a no-obligation conversation to learn how Direct Primary Care membership works and whether it's the right fit for you and your family. It is not a medical visit, it's your chance to ask questions about the membership before you join. You can book one anytime by calling (701) 599-3950.

Our model is built on membership, so we do not offer one-time visits for primary care. Osteopathic manipulative therapy, aesthetics and medical weight loss are available to non-members. If you want ongoing primary care, book a Meet & Greet and we'll walk you through how membership works.

Yes. Medicare patients are welcome. Federal rules mean we cannot bill Medicare for your membership, so the monthly fee is paid directly by you, and you keep Medicare for hospital care, specialists, imaging and prescriptions outside our clinic.

North Dakota Medicaid rules restrict what we can charge Medicaid enrollees, so we are not able to enroll Medicaid patients in the membership. Call the clinic and we will help you find an option that fits.

Because removing insurance from primary care removes what makes it rushed. No billing codes means no 10-minute visit limit, no copays, no surprise bills, and appointments long enough to actually solve things. You keep insurance for everything outside our clinic.

Often yes. Great coverage still buys you the same short, hard-to-book visits. Membership buys time and access: same-day and next-day appointments, direct contact with your clinician, and wholesale pricing on labs and medications that frequently beats a copay.

Members get lab work at our wholesale cost, which is usually a fraction of hospital pricing. Common panels are drawn in the clinic and results are reviewed with you directly rather than left in a portal.

Imaging is done outside our clinic. We order it, help you find the best cash or insurance price locally, and review the results with you. Membership does not cover the cost of the scan itself.

Panels are deliberately capped so each clinician keeps enough time per patient. That means membership can close to new patients when a panel is full, and joining a waitlist is sometimes the next step.

Billing starts when your membership starts, and it runs monthly from that date. There is no enrollment fee and no contract - you can cancel if it isn't working for you.

We accept credit and debit cards and bank transfer, billed automatically each month. Most members are able to use HSA or FSA funds for the membership fee, but confirm with your plan administrator, since eligibility rules vary.
