Relationship-driven healthcare changes everything. When care is both highly personal and highly convenient, employees naturally make their primary care doctor their first call. This means employees get better care, and employers see fewer claims.

Big care for small business.
Small business owners can finally provide a world-class healthcare option to their employees. With Primary Health Partners, you can offer your employees an unlimited healthcare membership for a fixed monthly fee. You can layer the membership with a major medical health plan, or not.
You have a couple options:
1 PHP Membership + Major medical plan
or
2 PHP Membership without insurance
More care. Less money.
Traditionally, more care = more money.
With PHP, more care costs less.
A healthcare offering that packs a punch.
You’re probably no stranger to unpredictable cost increases and scaling back plan options to mitigate
expenses. Continuous rate increases that are ‘not that bad’ add up to big dollars over time. Layering your
plan with innovative care solutions like direct primary care can stabilize your health plan expenses over
time, while increasing the level of care for your team.

How it works for large employers.
What you pay for your health plan premium is determined based on the total expenses for the claims,
administrative costs, and margin that it takes to run the plan. Claims are most often the largest driver of
health plan costs. By layering your health plan with direct primary care through Primary Health Partners,
you’re able to isolate the majority of small claims and move them to a cost-controlled environment. This
creates the opportunity for stabilized plan costs and properly directed employee utilization.

Frequently asked questions for employers
Your company's healthcare — simplified.
Primary Health Partners operates under the Direct Primary Care model. Our doctors are equipped to handle about 80-90% of peoples’ needs. Our doctors hope to eliminate the need for urgent care altogether and be there for the everyday events such as taking care of a cold, the flu, wellness exams, diabetes management, stitches, casting placement, and IV fluids. We believe insurance should be used for the catastrophic, major events. Primary Health Partners memberships pair best with a high deductible/catastrophic plan.
Members pay a transparent, monthly membership fee. They do not pay per visit, but per month. On average a visit to an urgent care alone would cost around $150, with a provider who does not have a relationship with the patient. With Primary Health Partners, a patient would pay the subscription cost and could see their provider 1 or 30 times in a month. Their insurance would not be billed for the visits, and this would lead to a decrease in overall claims. In insurance terms, the smaller number of claims made to a plan, the lower the premium will be for the following year.
Absolutely not. Employers can offer this as a voluntary benefit. Employees could maintain a positive relationship with their primary care provider and utilize one of our providers as well for needs after hours or at times when they need to see a doctor urgently to ensure they avoid an unnecessary urgent care or ER visit. This saves the patient money and the employer’s plan money as well.
We do not enforce a contract. We operate under month-to-month memberships. We have seen how much our members enjoy utilizing Primary Health Partners and want people to continue to have the freedom to not feel tied into a contract.
This does not require any type of integration with an insurance plan. We encourage our employers to offer a high deductible or catastrophic plan in tandem with a membership, but employers can offer this type of membership as a stand-alone offer.
They can be offered at any time. They do not have to be offered at renewal. We find it most helpful for our providers to come to open enrollment meetings or for a meeting to be setup if it is offered during a separate time so they can explain to employees about the model and the direct access.
We partner with Direct Primary Care clinics across the country. We are constantly growing our network of clinics who utilize the Direct Primary Care model and are happy to do the administrative work.
