Why is Direct Primary Care Important to Employers?
In 2021, the total average employer cost, including premiums, rose to an estimated $13,360 per employee, up from $12,501 in 2020.
Direct Primary Care is not a replacement for health insurance, it is membership-based healthcare and with DPC employees’ health is maximized and the costs to both employer and employee are minimized.
Businesses that would benefit from Direct Primary Care include:
- Businesses with self-funded health insurance
- DPC partners well with High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP’s)
- Businesses who see their insurance premiums increase every year
- Employers concerned about health benefits with regards to recruitment, retention, and workplace wellness
- Employers with part-time and contract workers who may not qualify for traditional health insurance
