Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care is here to help you make your health a priority.
You care for our patients. Let us care for you.
The Johns Hopkins Employer Health Programs Direct Primary Care (DPC) plan offers personalized care to Johns Hopkins Health System employees, their spouses and dependents (18 and over).
- 24/7 access to a provider
- a PCP who knows you and your health needs
- same-day appointments
- extended office hours
- after-hours phone calls with a provider
- messaging, mobile scheduling and video visits
- lifestyle account
- no co-payments for DPC visits
- discounted co-payment for behavioral health services
DPC is offered to Johns Hopkins Health System employees through the Johns Hopkins Employer Health Programs (EHP) Direct Primary Care Plan. There is no cost for an office visit with a DPC provider or behavioral health services. The DPC plan will include out-of-network coverage. The coverage is 70/30 to match the EHP DPC plan. You will have access to the EHP network and the preferred network, which includes Cigna PPO physicians and providers. In addition, employees who enroll in this plan will receive a $240 pre-funded lifestyle account, administered by Forma, to spend on certain lifestyle needs, such as gym memberships, fitness classes and meditation app subscriptions. More information will be shared here when available.

Meet Your Direct Primary Care Providers
As members of Johns Hopkins Community Physicians, the Direct Primary Care providers deliver personalized care that addresses your needs, so that you can maintain your health on your time.
Please note, that as a DPC member and sponsor of the plan, you MUST select one of the three Direct Primary Care providers - Norman Dy, M.D., Carolyn Le, C.R.N.P., or Melody Nangle, C.R.N.P. - as your primary care provider. Scheduling with a primary care provider or office outside of the DPC PPO Plan is considered out of network and will incur an additional cost. This only applies to the sponsor on the plan (employee), not to the dependents.
Norman M Dy, M.D.
Carolyn Le, D.N.P., C.R.N.P.
Melody Nangle, C.R.N.P.
The people who work there are a dedicated team that truly cares about my health and wellness. My provider listens to my health concerns and needs, and addresses them well. She even reaches out every so often via MyChart to see how I am doing.
