How Live Well differs from traditional primary care
Direct Primary Care removes the insurance company, regulators, and administrative layers between you and your provider. You pay a predictable monthly membership — no copays, no surprise bills — and get longer appointments, faster access, and a real relationship with your clinician.

Wellness & Prevention
Live Well serves patients across Sarasota and Manatee counties — Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Osprey, Nokomis, North Port, Palmetto, Parrish, and the Anna Maria Island communities. DPC handles roughly 80% of what brings you to primary care; members pair their membership with a high-deductible plan, a health sharing ministry, or Medicare to cover specialists and hospitalization. Home visits are available for established members within our service area.
Membership available for as little as $70.00/month* — View membership plans →
Traditional Care Model
The Traditional Model for patient care forces 3, 4, or 5 people between you and your provider. It's time for a less complicated, better way.
Direct Primary Care Model
When you walk through our door you will see a practitioner with transparent & affordable medical services. Care is tailored to your needs including wellness and chronic condition management. No middle man.
