There’s a reason more Texans are choosing a better way to manage their health. If you’ve ever waited weeks for a doctor’s appointment, only to get rushed through a 10-minute visit, you’re not alone. Traditional healthcare has left many Texans frustrated, overcharged, and underserved. That’s where direct primary care in Texas is changing the game—and why more families, individuals, and employers are making the switch.
But what is it exactly? And how does direct primary care work?
Let’s break it down—and show you why MyMD Select in Tyler, TX is leading the way in convenient, compassionate care.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
How does direct primary care work?
At its core, direct primary care (DPC) is a membership-based healthcare model. Instead of paying per visit, you pay a flat monthly fee (usually around the cost of a cellphone bill) that covers unlimited access to your provider. That means:
- Same- or next-day appointments
- No surprise bills or copays
- Extended visits (30–60 minutes, not 7–10)
- Virtual and in-person options
- Personalized treatment plans focused on long-term wellness
No insurance middlemen. No rushed visits. Just care that’s centered around you.
At MyMD Select, our members describe it as “concierge-level care without the luxury price tag.”
Why More People Are Choosing Direct Primary Care in Texas
From Austin to Tyler, the demand for direct primary care in Texas is skyrocketing. Here’s why:
1. It’s Simple and Transparent
Texans value straight talk—and DPC delivers. No deductibles. No codes to fight over. Just one clear monthly fee that covers most of your care needs. At MyMD Select, labs and procedures are offered at-cost and prescriptions are often cheaper than pharmacy retail.
“We don’t just treat symptoms—we help you create a plan for lifelong wellness. Our pricing is upfront and our care is personal.”
— Dr. Clint Carter, Owner, MyMD Select, Tyler
2. You Actually Get Time with Your Doctor
One of the biggest frustrations in traditional systems is how little face time patients get. DPC flips that script. At MyMD Select, visits are never rushed. We listen, build relationships, and collaborate with you on what matters most—whether that’s reversing prediabetes, managing menopause, or improving sleep and energy.
3. It’s Built for Busy Texans
Whether you’re juggling a demanding job or a full house, healthcare shouldn’t add more stress. With MyMD Select, you get:
- 24/7 access to your care team via phone or text
- Same-day in-person visits in our Tyler office
- Virtual care for when you’re on the go
- Extended hours and minimal wait times
“I’m in and out fast—but I never feel rushed. They listen, they know my name, and I trust them with my family’s health.”
— Heather R., Tyler patient and working mom
“Direct primary care, by getting insurance out of the way, not only is it convenient—it opens up infinite possibilities.”
— Dr. Clint Carter, Episode 10 of the MyMD Unscripted Podcast
4. It Keeps Employees Healthier and Companies Leaner
More Texas employers—especially small to mid-sized businesses—are offering DPC to employees as a smarter, more affordable benefit. It reduces absenteeism, urgent care claims, and out-of-pocket costs.
We’ve seen companies save thousands per year while giving employees a benefit they actually use.
“Before MyMD Select, our urgent care bills were $500 per visit. Now, we send people straight to them—and the care is better and cheaper. No-brainer.”
— Daniel R., Supervisor at Landvisions in Tyler
