SPRING 2025
Benefits for Employees The same qualities of DPC that appeal to employers will appeal to employees as well: Lowering out-of-pocket cost and better access to care. Whether paid for by their employer or not, a fixed monthly membership fee to gain access to preventative, chronic, and acute care takes the uncertainties of cost out of the equation.

In addition to access to a primary care physician, most DPC clinics can perform blood draws, run lab tests, dispense medications, and perform minor procedures all within their clinic at minimal to no cost to the member.
The average patient to physician encounter under the DPC model is significantly longer as well, allowing the patient to have a more thorough exam and build personal relationships with their DPC physician. This results in high patient satisfaction and improved adherence. This unique approach to health care challenges the normal con- structs of health insurance while providing employees & their de- pendents access low cost highly personalize direct primary care. Whether fully insured or self-funded, small or large, employers all over the country are looking at DPC as a potential benefit enhance- ment to their overall health insurance offering.
