Healthcare is a necessary investment for people. A simple trip to the doctor can lead to significant medical expenses that may even seem hard to comprehend. Yet, there are strategies for reducing costs – like a different care model. By utilizing a direct medical care model, you gain access to primary care physicians and the highest level of support you need without the typical high cost.

What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern healthcare model designed to simplify and improve the healthcare experience. Direct primary care plans with Primary Health Partners (PHP) are available to employers looking for comprehensive benefits and individuals seeking reliable primary care services for themselves and their families.
Primary Health Partners (PHP) is a direct primary care (DPC) industry leader. We offer comprehensive, direct primary care solutions to fit your needs. It is a different approach to healthcare, without insurance limiting the comprehensive care you need and desire.
So, How Does it Work?
Patients pay a monthly fee to gain comprehensive primary care services, including tests, consultations, and healthcare visits. This convenient and accessible membership in Oklahoma allows patients to access unlimited healthcare on demand.
High Costs of Traditional Care
Various factors contribute to the high cost of traditional office visits. The process is frustrating and expensive, from complicated insurance plans that require multiple steps just to get an appointment to complex billing practices that may not clarify what you are paying for to deductibles or upcharging the patient to meet insurance demands.
Most consumers want quality care, appointments that meet their needs, and affordable costs. That is where a DPC solution fits the bill.
With traditional care with health insurance, each doctor, on average, sees a minimum of 20 to 25 patients daily, leading to long wait times and crowded waiting rooms. Patients usually pay a copay at each visit and meet a high deductible before any coverage kicks in. Additionally, depending on your insurance plan, you may not have direct access to primary care providers or limited access to certain ones.
Direct care with PHP is different. Doctors see 8 to 10 patients a day, and there is virtually no wait for patients to navigate. There is never a copay to deal with, and most of your labs are included or, at cost, not added on and overcharged. Direct medical care from PHP also works for uninsured or out-of-network patients, with no additional costs.
Direct Primary Care Savings
Ultimately, there is a significant difference in the quality of health care a person receives with direct primary care like this. You see your doctor without feeling rushed when you need to and for most needs. You pay a monthly membership fee for this service based on various factors.
In Oklahoma now, primary care with PHP for kids is only $49 per month, and primary care for adults is only $99 per month. That’s for direct medical care that covers chronic disease management, weight management, mental health support, preventative care, and much more.
How much does one of these types of appointments cost you now at your current doctor? Do not forget to add in:
- Copayments you have to make upfront
- The high deductible you have to pay before care kicks in
- Extra charges for lab work
- Monthly insurance premiums you are paying (and those portions your employer pays as well)
Our DPC practice is always expanding, creating opportunities for additional resources for those outside of Oklahoma. With direct medical care, you will pay less without any deviation from the quality of care you demand and deserve.
Here’s an example.
If you have quality health insurance in Oklahoma, the average cost for a single urgent care visit is $80-$280. With a PHP membership for direct medical care, you pay $99 per month. There are no additional charges for most services, including unlimited visits.
Is Direct Primary Care Right for You?
There are various ways to receive financial coverage for medical and health needs, including traditional health insurance plans, fee-for-service plans, and many other ways that facilities charge patients. With direct medical care, the entire process is straightforward and clear. You know your monthly costs, you can get the level and type of support you need, and you do not have to worry about paying extensive insurance premiums.
But is Direct Primary Care Going to Benefit You?
Consider your current healthcare needs and costs. Spend some time calculating your costs and what limitations you may have when an urgent care appointment becomes critical. With these practices, direct primary care costs are upfront and transparent. You know exactly what to expect, what services are available, and how to get help.
If you are not achieving these goals right now, it is time to seek out a better solution.
