How Much Does Direct Primary Care Cost in Belmont, NC?
At LandmarkMD in Belmont, NC, adult direct primary care membership costs $125 per month, or $1,500 per year.
That monthly fee covers primary care services and an ongoing relationship with your physician. It makes the cost of everyday primary care easier to understand before you schedule a visit.
Here is how the membership works, what you may still pay separately, and what to consider when deciding whether it fits your budget.
What does the direct primary care cost cover?
Direct primary care (DPC) is a membership model for primary care. Instead of billing your insurance for covered office visits, LandmarkMD charges a monthly membership fee.
Membership supports care with Dr. Kaul, including:
Visits for illnesses and new health concerns
Follow-up appointments and medication management
Preventive care and health counseling
Ongoing management of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol
Communication with the care team between appointments
Coordination with specialists when needed
There are no copays for office visits covered by your membership. You do not pay a separate covered-visit fee each time you come in.
For details on individual services and any additional charges, review our Membership page or contact our team before you join.
What costs extra?
A primary care membership does not cover every part of your health care.
Costs outside the membership may include:
Laboratory testing
Prescription medications
Imaging, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs
Specialist appointments
Emergency department visits
Hospital care and surgery
You may pay for these services through your insurance or directly, depending on the service and your coverage.
If you need a procedure or injection, ask whether the service, medication, or supplies are charged separately. Knowing the cost beforehand helps you avoid unexpected expenses.
Do I still need health insurance?
Yes—we recommend keeping health insurance alongside your membership. Direct primary care is not health insurance.
Your LandmarkMD membership covers primary care services under your membership agreement. Health insurance remains important for potentially expensive care outside the practice, including hospitalization, surgery, emergency care, and specialist treatment.
Think of the membership as your primary care budget. Insurance covers other health expenses based on your plan.
Is membership worth it if I already have insurance?
That depends on your current costs and what you want from your primary care.
Start by looking at what you paid for primary care over the past year. Include office visit copays and charges you paid before meeting your deductible. Keep expenses such as medications, lab tests, and specialist care separate, because those may still cost extra with membership.
Then compare your primary care spending with the $1,500 annual membership cost.
A membership will not necessarily reduce your total health spending. If your insurance already provides convenient primary care with low copays, membership may mean paying more.
For others, the value is an ongoing physician relationship, time to discuss concerns, and a way to communicate with the practice between visits. Those benefits matter even when membership is not the least expensive option.
What should I ask before joining?
Before choosing any direct primary care practice, ask:
Which visits and services are included?
What could generate an additional charge?
How do I contact the practice between visits?
How does the practice handle urgent concerns and after-hours messages?
What are the enrollment and cancellation terms?
How does membership work alongside my existing insurance?
Clear answers help you decide whether the practice fits both your health needs and your budget.
