Benefits of Direct Primary Care for employers
Reduced Medical Expense
Direct Primary Care 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 see a physician in a timely manner may go to the ER instead, costing thousands of dollars to get a diagnosis.
A Family Physician is able to manage 85-90% of health issues without a referral to a specialist. This is cost-effective, compared with more expensive specialist visits. A patient may be able to consolidate care from multiple specialists to one family doctor. Referrals will be coordinated if needed, to appropriate high-value providers.
Reduced Absenteeism
Access to care, and less time in the waiting room minimizes absence from work. Ability to communicate with technology also facilitates efficiency and increased productivity.
