Enhance your Employee Health Benefits by offering DPC Member

According to the Census Bureau, 54.5% of Americans are insured by their employers. Employers usually buy health insurance from big insurance companies for a fixed premium amount, partially paid by employers (usually 70 to 80%) and partially by employees (20 to 30%). According to a survey in Illinois, average annual premiums are $7,547, with employers paying $5,801 and employees paying $1,746. Once employees have insurance, they need to pay a deductible to get any medical care. According to eHealth, the average deductible for marketplace plans for medical and prescription drugs in 2023 is $7,481 for Bronze plans, $4,890 for Silver plans, $1,650 for Gold plans, and $45 for Platinum plans. Due to these high costs, approximately 40% of Americans skip care.

As a small business owner or employer, providing comprehensive and accessible healthcare benefits to your employees is crucial for maintaining a healthy, productive, and satisfied workforce. Research has shown that employers can lower health care costs by up to 40% by partnering with a direct primary care clinic. 

With DPC, employees have direct access to their physicians through phone, text, or email, and can often secure same-day or next-day appointments. This level of access promotes proactive health management, allowing for timely medical intervention and ongoing wellness support.By receiving consistent, high-quality care, employees are more likely to stay healthy and effectively manage chronic conditions, leading to fewer sick days and increased productivity.

DPC operates on a flat monthly fee, which covers a wide range of primary care services, including routine check-ups, preventive care, and minor procedures. This transparent pricing model eliminates the complexities of insurance claims, copays, and deductibles, providing financial predictability and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for employees. 

For employers, this can translate into lower overall healthcare costs, as DPC practices often help reduce the need for expensive specialist visits and emergency room trips.

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

• Reduced overall healthcare spending: DPC's focus on preventive care and chronic disease management can lead to significant savings for employers by reducing the need for expensive specialist visits and hospitalizations.
