Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a simple, membership-based way to get primary care—no insurance billing, no rushed visits, and no surprise fees. At Sunshine Health DPC in Virginia Beach, your monthly membership gives you direct access to your provider and the time you need to actually address root causes, not just symptoms.
What makes Sunshine Health different is the combination of unhurried, relationship-based primary care with a whole-person approach. We offer extended appointments, telehealth options, and easy communication by phone, text, or email—so you can get help when you need it, not weeks later. Your care can include preventive visits, chronic condition support, men’s and women’s health, and hormone optimization, with additional services available such as amino acid infusions and aesthetic treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model that provides comprehensive primary care services for a flat monthly fee. It eliminates the need for insurance in primary care, focusing on personalized, accessible, and affordable care.
What does the membership fee cover?
The fee typically includes services such as:
- Preventive care (annual exams, screenings).
- Chronic disease management.
- Acute care for illnesses or injuries.
- Direct communication with your provider (texts, calls, emails).
- Same-day or next-day appointments.
Does DPC accept insurance?
No, DPC does not bill insurance for its services. Patients pay a monthly membership fee, which simplifies billing and reduces administrative costs. You can still use insurance for services outside of primary care, like labs, imaging, prescriptions, specialist visits or hospitalizations.
Can I use DPC with insurance or an HSA/FSA?
Yes, you can pair DPC with insurance for services not covered by your membership. Some DPC practices also allow the use of HSA/FSA funds for membership fees, but it’s best to confirm with your plan administrator.
What are the benefits of DPC?
- Longer, unhurried appointments.
- Same-day or next-day availability.
- Direct access to your provider through calls or texts.
- Affordable and transparent pricing.
- Strong patient-provider relationships.
How is DPC different from concierge medicine?
While both emphasize personalized care, DPC typically has a lower monthly cost and does not bill insurance, whereas concierge practices may charge higher fees and still bill insurance for services.
Is DPC right for me?
DPC is ideal for individuals and families seeking affordable, personalized healthcare without the complexity of insurance. It’s especially beneficial for those who value accessibility and continuity of care.
Most patients appreciate the direct access to their provider to answer and out of clinic visit questions. Appointments are also sufficient for the care needed, so patients dont feel rushed during appointments.
What happens if I need a specialist or hospital care?
DPC focuses on primary care and can refer you to specialists or hospitals when needed. We encourage supplemental insurance for specialists and hospital care. We can recommend packages that would include your DPC membership and emergency care, which is often more cost-effective than a traditional plan.
While these services are outside the membership, your provider can guide you through the process. Appointments are also sufficient for the care needed, so patients dont feel rushed during appointments.
How do I enroll in a DPC program?
To enroll, schedule an initial consultation to meet the provider, discuss your health goals, and ensure the program is the right fit for you.
Membership begins when you schedule your next visit. From there, we’ll start with comprehensive lab work, a body composition scan, a detailed review of your results, and personalized guidance on preventive screenings and next steps for your care plan.
What types of visits are available at Sunshine Health DPC?
We offer a wide range of visit types to meet your needs, including:
- Extended, unrushed in-clinic appointments
- Telehealth (video or phone) visits
- In-home visits (for eligible members)
- Wellness and preventive care visits
- Sick/acute care visits
- Chronic condition management
- Lab result reviews
- IV therapy and vitamin injections
- Aesthetic services and consultations
- Weight loss and health coaching sessions
What is an "extended or non-rushed" appointment?
Our standard visits are 30–60 minutes long, giving you time to ask questions, discuss concerns, and receive truly personalized care—without feeling rushed.
New patient consultations are often 90 minutes.
What is a telehealth visit and when is it appropriate?
Telehealth visits are virtual appointments via secure video or phone. They’re ideal for:
- Follow-ups
- Medication refills
- Lab reviews
- Health coaching
- Mild illness or symptom checks
- Weight loss support
Do you offer in-home visits?
Yes! In-home visits are available for select members and situations, such as postpartum care, mobility issues, or chronic condition monitoring. Availability and fees may vary depending on location.
Can I combine services in one appointment?
Absolutely. During a single visit, we can review labs, administer an IV drip or B12 shot, discuss aesthetic concerns, or adjust your health and wellness plan. We make care efficient and comprehensive.
How do I schedule, change, or cancel a visit?
You can:
- Use our secure online portal
