Better primary care
for your team.
Help your employees access Direct Primary Care — affordable, membership-based medicine without the insurance complexity. Healthier teams, lower costs, happier employees.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a simple, affordable model where patients pay a flat monthly membership fee — typically $65–$130 per person — directly to their primary care physician. No per-visit billing. No insurance claims. No deductibles.
In exchange, members get unlimited office visits, same-day or next-day appointments, direct access to their physician via phone or text, and a level of care that's genuinely hard to find in traditional medicine.
For employers, this means predictable costs, happy employees, and dramatically reduced downstream healthcare spending — because employees actually use their primary care before small problems become big ones.
Smaller panels = more time with every patient.
Benefits for employers
DPC is one of the highest-ROI healthcare benefits you can offer your team.
Lower Overall Costs
Employees with a DPC physician use ERs and specialists significantly less. Upstream primary care prevents the expensive downstream costs that drive premiums up.
Employees Love It
Same-day appointments, no waiting rooms, and a doctor who actually knows them by name. It's a meaningful benefit that employees notice and value immediately.
Easy to Understand
One flat monthly fee per employee. No deductibles to explain, no copay confusion, no EOBs. Your HR team spends less time explaining the benefits.
No Claim Filing
DPC operates entirely outside the insurance billing system. No claims, no authorization requests, no prior approvals. The physician just provides care.

Texas is leading the DPC movement.
Texas is home to one of the fastest-growing Direct Primary Care markets in the country. With a large uninsured population, a strong entrepreneurial culture among physicians, and employer demand for cost-effective benefits, the Lone Star State has become a national hub for innovative primary care.
DPC practices in Texas have grown by over 40% in the last three years. Employers across Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are increasingly offering DPC memberships as a standalone or supplemental benefit — and employees are noticing the difference in their health and their healthcare experience.
