Primary Care - Understanding the heart of healthcare

Primary Care is the heart of healthcare, and a strong primary care benefit should anchor employers' health care offerings. However, in traditional insurance networks, patients face long wait times for primary care appointments. When they are seen, visits are short and often result in a specialist referral anyway. Direct Primary Care is a new payment model that fosters a trusting, long term relationship between patients and doctors. The doctor is always accessible and there's never an out of pocket cost for patients to see their DPC doctor. Employers love the benefit because they save money through reductions in utilization of urgent care, ER, and specialist care, see better management of chronic conditions, and can attract and retain talent by offering a truly differentiated benefit.
