We here this question a lot - how do i afford the insurance PLUS the membership. To which we try to show how can you afford your insurance WITHOUT the membership. BC the directcare model can decrease the patients out of pocket expenses dramatically on visits, copays, procedures, medicines and labs.

i've been a direct care doc since 9/2010 and happy to answer any questions. to (quickly) define the model: $10-100/patient/month for unlimited home/work/office/technology visits, no copays, any procedure we can do in the office is included free, and wholesale savings on medicines, labs, imaging, pathology of up to 95% (yes!)

We can then take all of this value and go back to an employer and help decrease insurance costs by 30-60%.
