A place to begin

For you, your family,
or your team.

Direct primary care, or DPC, is a membership relationship with a primary care provider. A periodic fee covers the services listed in your agreement, with clear expectations for visits, communication, and follow-up.

A familiar person.
A conversation that fits you.

Ask about care for yourself, your children, or your household. David brings a family nurse practitioner’s perspective to everyday health and a coach’s attention to your goals.

Ask about family care
  • Children and teens, adults, and older adults
  • Prevention, health education, and appropriate everyday concerns
  • Follow-up for long-term conditions and medication review
  • Secure virtual visits across Alaska and local home visits by arrangement
  • Support understanding the next step when outside care is needed
Children’s visits require appropriate parent or guardian involvement and consent. Some exams, vaccines, testing, and urgent concerns require a local in-person service.

How care reaches you

Across the distance.
Into everyday life.

There is no physical clinic location. Care is provided through telehealth and scheduled home visits, with on-site business visits by arrangement. Each visit starts with deciding which setting can safely meet your needs.

Ask about communication

Alaska is where the visit happens. Statewide telehealth means the patient is physically in Alaska during the consultation. If you are traveling outside the state, arrange care where you are. Home and workplace visits have separate local travel and scheduling limits.

Good care begins with a conversation you feel part of.

a good first step.

Send your interest

Use the form below or email care@pcparteaga.com. Share your name, Alaska community, and the care option that interests you. Leave out medical details.

02

Talk through the fit

David can answer general questions about telehealth, local visits, families, Medicare, and employer programs, and share launch updates.

03

Review the details

Before joining, review the fees, included services, appointment access, response times, privacy information, and written membership agreement.

04

Arrange your first visit

When enrollment opens and your enrollment is accepted, complete consent and intake through the secure clinical system, then arrange an appropriate virtual or home visit.

The practice is starting in Alaska. This site currently accepts information inquiries and interest submissions; it does not book visits, collect fees, or provide medical advice.

Start a conversation

For Alaska businesses

Care for the people
behind the work.

Ask about employer-sponsored direct primary care for your team. Businesses can discuss paying all or part of the membership fee, with individual and family options addressed in the program agreement.

David can come to businesses for health screenings and appropriate health services by arrangement. On-site services begin with a conversation about your location, headcount, private space, and what your team needs.

DPC works alongside coverage for hospitalization, emergencies, specialist care, and other services outside the membership. Employer programs require review of applicable benefits and tax rules before implementation.

Membership access for your team

Statewide telehealth for employees in Alaska, ongoing primary care, and defined member communication. Eligibility and family participation are confirmed in writing.

On-site screenings and education

Blood pressure checks, preventive health reviews, health education, and appropriate individual consultations. Test availability, supplies, outside lab charges, and follow-up arrangements are agreed in advance.

A visit with a clear scope

Local workplace visits are scheduled by agreement. Travel outside the local area requires a separate discussion. Specialized occupational exams, certifications, and testing are not assumed to be included.

Employee health information stays private.Employer sponsorship does not give an employer access to individual diagnoses, visit notes, or test results. Any disclosure must have a valid legal basis, such as the patient’s authorization.

DPC in everyday life

How people use it
around the country.

These published stories show some of the reasons people and employers choose a direct primary care relationship.

Oklahoma · Continuity

A familiar clinician
in retirement.

MainStreet Clinic shares the story of a Medicare-age member who had lost access when physicians retired or closed their practices. He valued an ongoing relationship and responsive communication through DPC.

Texas · Virtual connection

Remote access,
local follow-through.

Euphora Health describes a Houston member who contacted his remote primary care clinician, received help arranging local imaging, and had follow-up during recovery. Virtual care connected him with services near home.

Kansas & beyond · Workplaces

A benefit for a
spread-out workforce.

A Hint case study describes a distribution business adding DPC to a health plan option. Antioch Med and a provider network helped connect employees and families across seven states with local primary care practices.

Examples are reported by the practices or service organizations linked above. They are not Arteaga Primary Care testimonials or promises of results. Services, fees, Medicare arrangements, and access vary by practice. Virtual care does not replace urgent or emergency evaluation when needed.

Understanding membership

Know what your
membership covers.

Your written agreement is the guide to included services and costs. Pricing and enrollment details will be shared before you decide whether to join.

The primary care relationship

  • Prevention, education, and everyday primary care
  • Appropriate telehealth visits
  • Scheduled home visits when suitable and within the service area
  • Condition follow-up and medication review
  • Referrals and coordination with outside services
  • Defined secure communication access between visits

Visit frequency, home-visit charges, supplies, procedures, and other service limits are specified in the agreement. Ask what is included and what is billed separately.

Care and costs outside DPC

  • Emergency services and ambulance transportation
  • Hospital care, surgery, and specialist services
  • Outside laboratory, imaging, and pharmacy charges unless expressly included
  • Care that requires equipment or resources unavailable at home or virtually
  • Any service outside the membership agreement

Maintain insurance or other coverage for major medical care and services outside the agreement. Medicare does not pay DPC membership fees.

DPC is not health insurance. There is no requirement to give up existing insurance to ask about DPC. We will explain the membership terms, cancellation process, and any separate charges before enrollment.

Care in Alaska

Clear expectations.
Respect for your trust.

These are the care standards and patient protections behind the service. Required professional and business authorizations must be in place before clinical care begins.

Professional scope

Care follows the family nurse practitioner’s licensed role, education, certification, and professional scope. Alaska recognizes APRNs as licensed independent practitioners. Alaska Board of Nursing.

Your location matters

Patients must be physically in Alaska at the consultation. Identity, location, consent, and a backup plan are confirmed for telehealth. Required Alaska business licensing and telemedicine registration precede service. Alaska telehealth guidance.

A written agreement

The direct-care agreement explains fees, included services, exclusions, term, changes, cancellation, and applicable refunds, including the disclosure that DPC is not insurance. Alaska direct-care legislation.

Privacy and communication

Clinical records and messages belong in the secure clinical system. This public form and ordinary email are for general inquiries only. Privacy notices and communication instructions are provided before care begins.

Safe evaluation and follow-up

Telehealth or home care must be appropriate for the concern. Prescriptions depend on evaluation and applicable rules; a membership does not guarantee a medication. Local exams, testing, referral, or a higher level of care may be necessary.

Children and family care

Care for minors uses appropriate consent, guardian participation, and privacy protections. Recommended physical exams, immunizations, testing, or specialist care may require another service with the necessary staff and equipment.

This patient-facing overview is not an exhaustive statement of Alaska or federal requirements. Final operations, authorizations, agreements, Medicare arrangements, and benefit programs require review before services begin. Source links reviewed September 27, 2026.

Your questions, answered

A few things to know
before you reach out.

Is the practice accepting appointments now?

Arteaga Primary Care is starting in Alaska and is currently receiving information inquiries and interest submissions. Enrollment, prices, appointment availability, and launch details will be shared before care begins. Sending interest does not book a visit, enroll you, or establish a provider-patient relationship.

Where is the office, and where can I get care?

There is no physical office. Telehealth serves Alaska residents throughout the state, from Utqiaġvik to Adak, while they are physically in Alaska. Home visits are arranged in the Anchorage area after confirming location and suitability. Workplace visits are arranged separately. Statewide telehealth does not mean statewide home visits.

Can you see children and families?

Yes—the practice’s family care focus includes children, teens, adults, and older adults. Ask about your household and the types of visits you need without including medical information in the interest form. Some pediatric concerns, exams, vaccines, and testing require a local in-person facility.

Can I participate if I have Medicare?

Medicare beneficiaries are welcome to inquire. Medicare does not cover DPC membership fees. Before enrollment, we must confirm the practice’s Medicare status and explain the services, payment arrangements, and any required private contract. An enrolled Medicare provider cannot add membership charges for Medicare-covered services contrary to Medicare rules. Do not assume the membership is billable to Medicare. See Medicare’s guidance.

How much does membership cost?

Individual, family, and employer pricing will be provided before enrollment. The written terms will identify what the periodic fee covers and any separate charges for home visits, travel, supplies, tests, or other services. Sending an information request has no cost and creates no obligation.

Does DPC replace my health insurance?

No. DPC is an agreement for a defined set of primary care services, not health insurance. Keep coverage for emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, specialists, and other services outside the membership. DPC by itself does not provide comprehensive medical coverage.

Can my employer sponsor DPC or arrange screenings?

Yes, employers can discuss sponsoring all or part of a membership and arranging on-site screenings, health education, and appropriate clinical services. Use the employer inquiry option and share your location and approximate workforce size. Services, employee eligibility, privacy, fees, and applicable benefits requirements are confirmed before implementation.

Does after-hours messaging mean immediate 24/7 care?

No. Members receive secure messaging instructions, published response windows, and coverage information. David may be seeing other patients or unavailable outside the coverage periods. For a concern that cannot wait, seek appropriate urgent care; for an emergency, call 911. This public inbox is not a clinical or urgent-care channel.

Can I use telehealth while traveling outside Alaska?

For this service, you must be physically in Alaska at the time of the consultation. An Alaska home address alone does not meet that requirement while you are away. Arrange local care when you are outside Alaska.

Can I use a health savings account for membership?

Beginning in 2026, federal rules allow HSA payment of periodic fees for certain qualifying DPC arrangements. Eligibility depends on the arrangement and individual circumstances. We will clarify whether the final membership qualifies before accepting HSA payments; do not assume every service or charge is eligible. See IRS guidance.

What happens to the information I send here?

Contact details and general service preferences are used to respond to your inquiry and understand interest in the practice. If you choose launch updates, you can ask to stop them by replying to an email. Do not include symptoms, diagnoses, prescriptions, medical records, insurance numbers, or information about someone else’s health. The form is processed by the website’s hosting form service; it is not a secure patient portal.
