Direct Primary Care (DPC)

---

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an alternative health care payment model to traditional fee-for-service insurance that provides access to high-quality health care with a straightforward, affordable monthly membership fee.

This membership provides an “all access pass" to connect with physicians via office visits, phone calls, text messaging, email, and even virtual office visits, all without additional fees.

DPC presents a way for employers to provide their employees with more affordable and personalized health care whenever and wherever needed.

*Note:  DPC does not replace the need for health insurance. DPC arrangements often complement group health benefits. DPC is for primary care, it will not cover catastrophic injuries, surgeries or emergency room visits.

Many employers recognize the value of primary care for their workers and, therefore, have adopted Direct Primary Care (DPC) arrangements to increase employee access to such care. DPC enables employers to manage rising health care costs without shifting these expenses onto employees, all while ensuring high-quality care.

Employers can consider the following benefits when evaluating whether to adopt DPC arrangements:

• Reduced Health Care Costs
• No Third-Party Billing or Fee-for-Service Payments
• Strengthened Attraction and Retention Efforts
• Improved Productivity and Wellness
