The BestDPC directory has identified 1,497 geo-located Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics across 43 states as of July 2026. The data reveals that Texas leads the nation with 171 listed clinics, closely followed by Florida with 167. Our methodology is based solely on clinics listed in the BestDPC national directory — not a census of all US DPC practices; the true national total is larger.
Key Findings
- Texas and Florida dominate the DPC landscape, combining for 338 clinics, which accounts for roughly 22% of all geo-located listings in the directory.
- Sun Belt concentration is highly evident, with states like North Carolina (81), Georgia (53), Arizona (42), and Tennessee (39) representing some of the highest densities of DPC practices.
- Austin, TX, is the top metro area for Direct Primary Care in the nation, leading all cities with 15 listed clinics.
- Florida heavily populates the top metro areas, claiming four of the top four urban spots outside of Austin, including Tampa (13), Orlando (12), and Jacksonville (11).
- The DPC model has broad national coverage but is geographically diverse, reaching 43 states ranging from high-volume states like Colorado (61) to single-listing states like North Dakota and Hawaii.
- Midwestern states are actively adopting the DPC model, with Ohio and Michigan tying at 54 listed clinics each, and Indiana adding 42 practices to the directory.

What This Means for Patients
The 2026 directory data highlights rapidly growing access to Direct Primary Care, particularly for patients residing in Sun Belt and major metropolitan regions. With nearly 1,500 geo-located clinics available across 43 states, more Americans than ever have local alternatives to traditional, fee-for-service healthcare. However, patients in low-coverage states or rural areas might notice fewer immediate options within their immediate zip codes. For these individuals, expanding technology offers a vital bridge: telehealth DPC options exist and can seamlessly connect patients with quality, membership-based primary care regardless of physical clinic proximity. Patients are encouraged to search comprehensive national directories to discover both nearby brick-and-mortar facilities and remote virtual care providers.
Methodology
This directory report utilizes a clinic count based entirely on listings within the BestDPC national directory as of a July 2026 snapshot. The data reflects a combination of self-listed clinics by practice owners and clinics curated by the BestDPC editorial team. City and state statistics were extracted directly from the published practice addresses submitted by the clinics. Because this analysis is directory-based rather than an exhaustive census, it does not capture every US DPC practice. When referencing this data, journalists and researchers should cite the source as the ‘BestDPC 2026 Directory Report’.
