How do I pay for membership?

Is there a discount if I pay for a full year in advance?
No. The monthly fee remains the same whether you pay monthly or annually.
Can I use my FSA to pay for membership?
No. According to IRS regulations, DPC is typically considered a type of insurance payment and are therefore not eligible for reimbursement through a health FSA.
Is membership prorated?
No. Membership is billed in full for the month in which you join and then for subsequent months.
Can I cancel membership early?
Yes. You may cancel your membership with 30 days’ written notice.
Will I be reimbursed if I cancel early and have prepaid for the year?
Yes. If you’ve prepaid, your credit card will be refunded for any unused portion of your membership, provided we receive your 30-day written cancellation notice.
Can I transfer my DPC membership from another (non-Cooper) practice?
No. Cooper Direct Primary Care memberships are exclusive to our program and are not transferable from other practices.
How does my existing medical insurance work with Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is not an insurance plan. You will still need to maintain medical insurance to cover services not included in your DPC membership.
