Imagine going to your doctor’s office knowing you will see your physician—unrushed, prepared, and fully present.
There are no surprise co-pays or hidden fees, and communication doesn’t stop when the visit ends. You can reach your doctor directly, get timely follow-up, and have questions addressed as they arise.
Over time, your physician knows you—not just your chart—and becomes a true partner in your healthcare, focused on prevention, thoughtful decision-making, and long-term well-being.
This is New England Medicine Direct Primary Care.
The Direct Primary Care Model
New England Medicine is an internal medicine practice serving patients age 18 and older.
The practice operates outside of insurance using a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model of primary care built around an ongoing relationship with your physician. Instead of charging per visit, patients pay a predictable annual membership that supports the practice directly. Your health insurance is not charged. Because the practice cares for a smaller number of patients, visits can be longer, access is often easier, and care can be more proactive and personalized.
Direct Primary Care is sometimes compared to concierge medicine because both emphasize access and relationship-based care. The key difference is the business model: DPC is designed to deliver primary care through a straightforward membership and typically does not bill insurance for that care. Concierge practices often charge a membership fee in addition to billing insurance, so patients may still encounter copays, deductibles, and insurance-driven billing.
Practice Membership
At New England Medicine, membership is $2,500–$5,500 per year (age-based*), reflecting the additional time and complexity that can come with different stages of life. We review membership details during a meet-and-greet with Dr. Hull to ensure the practice is the right fit—and to align expectations around access, communication, and care needs.
Membership includes comprehensive, relationship-based primary care: preventive care and annual wellness planning, ongoing management of chronic conditions, and prompt evaluation of new concerns. Patients can expect same- or next-day access for most issues, longer visits when needed, and care coordination across specialists and hospitals.
Conveniences include early-morning and limited evening appointments, secure virtual care, dedicated on-site parking, and on-site blood draws when appropriate.
*Exact pricing is based on age and reviewed at the meet-and-greet. Patients should maintain health insurance for catastrophic coverage and services outside the DPC membership. Membership rates may increase modestly over time (typically 3–5% annually).
