What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a membership based health program that, in exchange for a monthly fee, offers on-demand access to quality healthcare. While Direct Primary Care is not insurance, members are guaranteed access to a qualified health professional for their primary and urgent care needs. This access comes without the member having to wait days or weeks to see a provider, or having to worry about costly co-pays and rising deductibles.
To enhance member access, Direct Primary Care Members can speak with their selected healthcare provider over the phone and over our secure HIPAA compliant app. The app allows members to communicate with our providers via HIPAA compliant email, text, or video.
What is Employer Direct Primary Care?
The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) has caused insurance premiums to skyrocket at alarming rates. In fact, according to a recent Bloomberg study, costs have risen nearly 300% and are projected to continue to rise. This burdensome cost has left many small and medium sized employers with no choice but to offer high deductible plans, or require their employees to go to the “marketplace”to obtain insurance.
At the same time, lost productivity because of employee sickness is at an all time high. According to a 2016 CDC study, employee sickness cost employers $225.8 billion in lost productivity. This equates to $1,685 for every employee in the United States. If employees continue to have delayed access to healthcare because of high deductibles, costly co-pays, and provider shortages, this figure will undoubtedly rise.
An Employer Sponsored Direct Primary Care program allows an employer to offer their employees direct-access to qualified medical professionals. With an optional prescription drug benefit, the average cost per employee is $50.00 - $75.00 per month. The membership, which is a pre-tax benefit, can be paid by the employer, employee, or split between both. For an employer/employee to receive the full benefits of the membership, at least 50% of active employees must participate in the membership program. A full list of employer and employee benefits are included on the next slide.
