Direct Primary Care
Same Doctors. Same Office. Better Care.
Starting January 1, 2027, Pinion Family Practice is moving to a Direct Primary Care model. Our new name will be Rocky Mountain DPC.
Watch a Message From Dr. Darcy Scheeler
Direct Primary Care bypasses insurance entirely. Patients pay a flat, affordable monthly fee for comprehensive access to their primary care provider.
To preserve the personalized care and accessibility of our new model, membership will be limited. Our current patients will have the first opportunity to enroll before we open to new patients.

Primary Care Designer For You
Visits with room to breathe
Build and maintain a genuine, lasting relationship with a PCP who knows you-your health history, your priorities, your family, your interests, and what matters most to

Care Without the Rush
Longer appointment times mean more time to talk, ask questions, feel heard and understood, and receive the thoughtful, thorough care you deserve.
02
Inclusive Care
Bring your questions, your concerns, and your "list." No limits on what you can talk about, no rushing through what matters-just the time and space to address what's important to you.
03
Convenience
Mole removals, stitches, skin biopsies, and cryotherapy for pre-cancerous skin lesions, all handled in a familiar setting.
04
Care Coordination
Help navigating and coordinating your care with specialists, facilities, pharmacies, and family members-staying connected every step of the way and making sure you have the support and follow-through you need.
05
Savings
No copays, deductibles, coinsurance, or surprise insurance bills. Access to discounted labs, imaging, and medications. One simple fee-predictable, transparent, and inclusive.
