For small businesses

Small businesses are being crippled by rising healthcare costs and poor insurance coverage. We can help.

After payroll, health care is the most expensive cost for a small business. Many small businesses either can’t afford coverage for their employees or can only offer minimal coverage with a high deductible, rendering health coverage essentially useless.

In the all-too-common but depressing example, the employer and employee combine to pay a monthly insurance premium (often $500-1500/month) plus the employee has to pay the deductible (often $5000-9000/year) before their insurance coverage kicks in. When the employee then needs to go to the doctor, the medical facility charges astronomical prices.

Every year, insurance premiums go up, making relative wages go down. Every year, small businesses take a hit and tighten their belts further.

We can help: With an affordable direct primary care membership, employees are encouraged to get healthy and stay healthy. This can lead to healthier employees, lower absenteeism, improved employee retention, and lower business costs.

As an example, we work with multiple employers who have switched from a single insurance plan to a combination of direct primary care/health sharing (for high cost needs). This improves employee healthcare access so they can see their doctor at no cost and the employer saves money (often 20-30% on health care spend right away).
