Benefits of Direct Primary Care at Monarch Ideal Care
Direct Primary Care allows your physician to focus on you, not insurance requirements.
The result is care that feels more thoughtful, responsive, and supportive.
More Time, Less Rush
DPC appointments are intentionally longer—typically 30-60 minutes—so there's time to:
Discuss concerns thoroughly
Review lifestyle factors
Ask questions and understand options
You're never rushed out the door.
Direct Access to Your Doctor
Members can contact Dr Leslee Mcelrath directly by text or email for questions, follow ups, or guidance between visits.
This access often reduces unnecessary urgent care or emergency visits by addressing concerns earlier.

Chronic condition monitoring
Early intervention when concerns arise
Simple, Transparent Healthcare
With DPC:
There are no copays

Consistent monthly fee no matter how many times you access care

Frequently Asked Questions
How does direct primary care differ from traditional insurance-based practices?
Direct primary care works on a membership model, offering flat monthly fees for primary care services. This approach means no co-pays or surprise bills, and more direct access to your provider compared to traditional insurance practices.
Is direct primary care insurance?
No, DPC is not health insurance. It provides primary medical care, but you’ll still need insurance for specialist care, hospitalizations, or emergencies.
Who can benefit most from direct primary care?
Adults seeking personalized, ongoing wellness care, families wanting better access to a doctor, and those with complex or chronic conditions often benefit most from DPC’s comprehensive, relationship-focused approach.
