DPC economics need a second revenue line

At a median $85–$150 monthly membership, most DPC panels top out on membership alone. The 41% of DPC practices dispensing GLP-1s and compounded peptides in 2026 are the ones with healthy operating margin.

The right order to add services

1) Peptide + GLP-1 program — high demand, minimal capital. 2) PRP joint and hair injections — a small centrifuge and a lidocaine tray. 3) LLLT for pain and hair. 4) Microneedling as staff scales. 5) ECSWT once volume justifies the device.

Patient willingness to pay is already there

68% of DPC patients would pay cash for in-office PRP or joint injections (AAFP 2026 survey). They picked DPC because they hate insurance friction — cash-pay adds are a natural fit.
