Expert care for a modern world

Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a number of benefits for individuals and businesses, particularly those looking to provide their employees with cost-effective, efficient healthcare. Let’s consider the case for DPC in comparison to the average individual insurance policy.

1. Predictable and Affordable Monthly Costs: One major benefit of our DPC membership is the predictable monthly fee structure. For as little as $139 per month per member over 18, patients receive unrestricted access to their healthcare provider. This contrasts with the average health insurance premium for individual coverage, which according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, is about $8,500 for individuals or $24,000 for a family on average annually. Care Hop’s DPC pricing model can provide significant monthly savings.
2. No Co-Pays: With our DPC membership, there are no co-pays for office visits. In a traditional insurance model, co-pays can range from $10-$50 per visit, or even more for urgent care visits. This can add up quickly, particularly for individuals with chronic conditions that require regular medical attention.
3. No Deductibles: Traditional insurance plans often come with high deductibles that must be met before insurance coverage kicks in. With our DPC memberships, there’s no deductible to worry about. All primary care services covered under the agreement are provided at no additional cost.
4. Better Access to Care: Our model gives us the ability to provide your employees same-day or next-day appointments and 24/7 access via text or email, or telehealth. This leads to quicker diagnoses and treatments, reducing the likelihood of more expensive urgent care or emergency room visits ultimately keeping your employees healthy and productive.
5. Personalized Care: With our DPC membership, our healthcare providers have fewer patients, which results in more personalized and attentive care. This leads to better health outcomes and higher patient satisfaction ultimately resulting in healthier, more productive employees.
6. Transparency: With our DPC membership, there are no surprise bills. Patients know upfront what their costs will be, eliminating the stress and uncertainty accompanying healthcare billing.

It’s important to note that DPC is not a replacement for insurance entirely – it doesn’t cover hospital stays, specialist visits or procedures outside the scope of primary care. As such, it’s often recommended that businesses or individuals pair DPC with a high-deductible health insurance plan to cover catastrophic medical events.

In conclusion, DPC can offer a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking to provide employees with quality healthcare and individuals looking for alternatives to expensive insurance plans. By eliminating co-pays and deductibles, offering transparent and predictable pricing and providing improved access to primary care, DPC can lead to happier, healthier employees and significant cost savings for businesses. Additionally, families and individuals can save thousands a year on premiums, and costly operations stemming from a lack of preventative care. However, the suitability of DPC will depend on the specific needs and circumstances of the business or individual. It’s also crucial to stay updated with the latest changes in healthcare policy and market trends.
