    The DPC Operating System

    One monthly fee. Defined operating support behind your practice.

    Three tiers, one honest question: how much of the day-to-day do you want to run yourself? Choose the operating split, and we staff the responsibilities defined by that tier.

    Launch Included

    No separate Freedom Healthworks launch fee. The launch program covers planning, tech stack, brand, website, and pre-launch marketing within the monthly partnership. Physician-funded startup expenses and third-party costs remain separate.

    Already open? You don't need to have launched with us. Practices that are already seeing patients move onto the same tiers with a 4 to 6 week onboarding instead of a launch program.

    New-practice and existing-practice terms differ. The signed agreement controls commitment, notice, exit windows, and any remaining obligations; we confirm those terms before signing.

    Three configurations

    Choose how much of the operation stays with you.

    Every tier includes the launch foundation. The difference is how much recurring operating and growth work Freedom Healthworks absorbs.

    From conversation to implementation

    How a partnership starts.

    1. Request a 30-minute consultation

      Discuss the practice model, timing, workload, and financial assumptions.

    2. Confirm fit and scope

      Identify the appropriate tier, responsibilities, outside costs, and open decisions.

    3. Begin implementation

      After the agreement is finalized, start the roughly 16-week launch or 4-6-week established-practice onboarding.

    What Freedom Healthworks handles, and what remains yours

    The responsibility matrix.

    Each tier is a decision about how much of the operating load leaves your desk. Exact responsibilities, volume capacity, and response expectations vary by tier and agreement.

    How to read this

    IncludedIn scope at this tier; final capacity is defined in the agreement.
    Included up toIn scope within agreement-defined capacity; additional scope is quoted.
    SharedSplit. We coordinate, you execute (or the reverse).
    Add-onAvailable at additional cost, not bundled.
    PracticeYou or your staff run it directly.
    Not at this tierNot offered here. An upgrade path is available.

    Scope lives at the tier level. Capacity is sized to the practice model, provider count, operating volume, and responsibilities confirmed in the signed agreement.

    Additional providers or employer contracts are quoted before work begins. Sustained volume above a cap starts a tier conversation, not a surprise invoice. The service agreement confirms final volumes, response times, and add-on pricing.

    Honest math

    What you'll still need to purchase outside the monthly fee.

    Freedom Healthworks covers the operating team and the system it runs on. These are costs no operating partner can absorb for you, plan for them alongside the monthly fee.

      Lease and buildout

      Clinical space, tenant improvements, furniture, signage. Lease is held by the practice.

      Exam-room equipment, POC devices, and any specialty tools required for the care model.

    • 03

      Medical supplies

    Amounts vary by market, specialty, and the choices you make. Your consultation walks through a real budget for your city, specialty, and starting patient volume, not a template.
