Just Medicine
Our Mission
At CCH Partners we are working to foster and support a fellowship of primary care physicians freed to practice just medicine. Our business solution supports physicians as they launch, scale, and operate direct primary care clinics. Through our Just Medicine initiative, we connect, resource, and encourage affiliated physicians by inviting them into a fellowship of like-minded colleagues and champions.
We envision a community of fulfilled physicians restoring primary care in America.
The Problem
If you’re here, you probably know the problem. And you probably feel it. Primary care is struggling. Physicians work against administrative demands and misaligned incentives to care for patients. Patients bear the weight of these systemic ills by struggling to get appointments, living in the dark as to the true cost of their care, paying high insurance premiums, and feeling distant from and unknown by their physicians. Physicians are disillusioned with the medicine they practice, longing to care for their patients in an unhurried, straightforward, and well-ordered way but finding few systems incentivized to support that aim. Attrition in the field is rising, with few trainees entering the field.

What If There Were Another Way?
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a structure for primary care in which the patient-physician relationship is unmediated. Patients pay a membership fee ($70-110 per month, similar to the cost of a phone bill) to be part of the doctor's patient panel, which is kept at a size (typically 400-800 patients) that allows physicians to give patients the attention needed for high quality relationships and high quality medicine. For this membership fee, patients enjoy direct access to their physician, same day/next day scheduling, unhurried appointments, and access to labs and specialty work at highly discounted predisclosed rates. DPC physicians do not accept insurance. Above all, DPC allows physicians and patients to develop real relationships with each other and partner together in the pursuit of patients’ health.
