DPC reduces absenteeism because of its convenience and efficiency. With traditional primary care, employees may normally need to book an appointment 2 weeks in advance, and take off a half-day of work in order to attend an appointment. With DPC, a simple phone call to their physician can often result in an appropriate prescription, or resolve a medical issue in less than an hour without sacrificing productivity.
DPC saves money for self-insured employers when unnecessary employee visits to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care are avoided. As an example, an employee with kidney stone symptoms who is unable to book a timely primary care appointment may wind up in the ER instead where they can incur tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses to get a diagnosis.
A DPC practice manages a smaller patient population than traditional Primary Care Providers. This enables DPCs to offer greater access of care to their patients including same-day or next-day appointments, and telemedicine, e-mail, and text message consultations.
We charge a flat monthly membership fee with no additional per-visit co-pays. This practice encourages patients to contact or visit the doctor whenever necessary.
DPCs actually tend to lower total medical expenses for employers even if they are fully insured. Combining a DPC membership with a catastrophic health plan or wrap-around policy almost always results in cost savings compared to traditional health plans. Craig Scurato, Founder of Direct Primary Care Exchange, reports that 9 out of 10 times, employers can rebuild their insurance to be cost neutral simply by pairing DPC with a lower cost health plan.
The convenience of partnering with Dr. Bondow for employees is a significant benefit that can be leveraged for employee recruitment. Coupled with mobile communication alternatives and focus on achieving wellness and prevention goals, in addition to maintaining a base level of health, DPC is an excellent option for solid healthcare.
