Direct Ohio Care (DOC), an Ohio based network of medical practices, will enable Ohio Family Physicians and other Primary Care Physicians to offer Direct Primary Care (and what I like to call Direct Family Medicine) to their patients. Direct Primary Care is a membership-based practice model that is included in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as allowable in the state health insurance exchanges. HR3315 would also make it available to persons on Medicare, currently not allowed.

DOC will launch soon. More later
One piece in a puzzle that will take the cost reins away from the hospitals and insurance companies.
