Increase care.
Increase predictability.

DPC Plus operates under the Direct Primary Care model. Our doctors are equipped to handle about 80-90% of peoples’ needs. Our doctors hope to eliminate the need for urgent care altogether and be there for the everyday events such as taking care of a cold, the flu, wellness exams, diabetes management, stitches, casting placement, and IV fluids. We believe insurance should be used for the catastrophic, major events. DPC Plus memberships pair best with a high deductible/catastrophic plan.

Members pay a transparent, monthly membership fee. They do not pay per visit, but per month. On average a visit to an urgent care alone would cost around $150, with a provider who does not have a relationship with the patient. With DPC Plus, a patient would pay the subscription cost and could see their provider 1 or 30 times in a month. Their insurance would not be billed for the visits, and this would lead to a decrease in overall claims. In insurance terms, the smaller number of claims made to a plan, the lower the premium will be for the following year.

Absolutely not. Employers can offer this as a voluntary benefit. Employees could maintain a positive relationship with their primary care provider and utilize one of our providers as well for needs after hours or at times when they need to see a doctor urgently to ensure they avoid an unnecessary urgent care or ER visit. This saves the patient money and the employer’s plan money as well.

For employers we do ask for a 1 year minimum to get established and work with you to maximize utilization. After that, we operate under month-to-month memberships. We have seen how much our members enjoy utilizing DPC Plus and want people to continue to have the freedom to not feel tied into a contract.

This does not require any type of integration with an insurance plan. We encourage our employers to offer a high deductible or catastrophic plan in tandem with a membership, but employers can offer this type of membership as a stand-alone offer.

They can be offered at any time. They do not have to be offered at renewal. We find it most helpful for our providers to come to open enrollment meetings or for a meeting to be setup if it is offered during a separate time so they can explain to employees about the model and the direct access.

We partner with Direct Primary Care clinics across the country. We are constantly growing our network of clinics who utilize the Direct Primary Care model and are happy to do the administrative work.

This does not have to be offered to all employees. We require a minimum of 5 employees to enroll to be considered an employer group.
