Why is Direct Primary Care Important to Employers?
In 2023, the total average employer cost, including premiums, rose to an estimated $15,797 per employee — an increase of 5.2% from the previous year. Faced with rising healthcare expenses, employers and employees alike seek solutions that prioritize quality care without breaking the bank.
Direct Primary Care is just a payment model – nothing else. It is transparent membership-based healthcare and not a replacement for health insurance (although it can be offered as a stand-alone service). At Hy-Vee HealthExemplar Care, we harness the power of DPC to elevate the standard of care while minimizing financial strain for employers and employees.
Improve Quality of Care:
- Personalized, unhurried consultations with primary care providers
- Same or next-day appointments, ensuring timely access to care
- Specialized treatment for chronic conditions, tailored to individual needs
- Proactive preventive care, with dedicated navigation, advocacy, and coaching
Reduce Overall Cost of Care:
- Flat monthly fees, eliminating copays and deductibles for employees
- Inclusion of in-house labs and imaging services, minimizing additional costs
- Decreased reliance on unnecessary expensive hospital visits, ER trips, and specialist consultations
- Thoughtful referrals to specialists focused on delivering value-based care
