Employers that offer healthcare benefits can reduce their cost by redesigning their plan to include Primary Care Services membership coupled with a low premium, high deductible insurance plan. The program will help reduce employees’ overall healthcare spend due to lower plan premiums and reduced out-of-pocket expense for primary care.

Due to the rising cost of health insurance premiums and higher amounts of co-pays and deductibles, many employees cut healthcare costs by avoiding doctor visits, increasing the likelihood of them getting sick and missing work. This program enables employees to maintain their health by continuing to receive primary care services with no copays, thereby avoiding or reducing absenteeism, reducing workplace injuries or accidents and increasing productivity.

Affordable monthly membership fees allow Employers to offer valuable healthcare benefits or add value to their current benefits package to improve recruitment, retention and employee satisfaction.

The Employers can decide the amount they want to contribute towards the membership fee. They can pay the whole fee or any part of the fee. They can also pay nothing and just offer the program to their employees. The Employer can also choose to pay or not to pay for the family members (dependents) of the Employees.

Primary Care Services membership program offered by Primary Partners is NOT health insurance. The program recommends that employees join a healthcare cost sharing program or acquire a high-deductible wrap around policy to cover catastrophic events like hospitalizations, accidents or treatments provided by specialists.

The program will help reduce employees’ overall healthcare expenses due to lower plan premiums for high deductible plans or cost sharing programs and reduced out-of-pocket expense with no co-pays or deductible for primary care.

With no co-pays, employees stop avoiding the care they need due to financial reasons. Regular access to primary care can result in early detection and early intervention for chronic conditions like diabetes and blood pressure which can avoid significant amounts of long-term, ongoing healthcare costs.

Employees and their family members can enroll in the program, regardless of pre- existing conditions or illness, to receive unlimited access to primary care services for an affordable fixed monthly membership fee. Easy access to primary care improves overall health of members, reduces unplanned/unexpected time off from work which increases income and quality of life.
