Direct Primary Care for Employers, Explained
Direct Primary Care (DPC) isn't insurance. Instead, it's a unique high-value medical membership that can be offered as a standalone employee benefit or used to supplement high-deductible health plans and catastrophic plans. At its basic level, DPC means the doctor works directly for the patient. No private insurance, no medicaid, no medicare, no middlemen. Since we are insurance free, DPC clinics contract with employers through a membership.
Reduce Healthcare Spend
Having direct access to a primary care physician not only saves money but improves the quality of care that a doctor can provide. Self-funded companies have experienced a 20%-35% reduction in total healthcare claims.

How and Why does Coldwater Direct Primary Care work?
Direct primary care doctors have created a lean and an advanced operational primary care office for the benefit of the patient and payer. The doctor cares for a smaller population of patients vs a traditional insurance-shackled doctor and offers services that are traditionally reserved for an urgent care or specialist office.
The result is enhanced primary care that can reduce specialist visits, urgent care visits, and ER visits while guiding patients to low-cost medications and procedures. Since the doctor is accessible in-person, by phone, or messaging, more consistent follow-up can lead to improved health outcomes and can reduce absenteeism, as employees communicate with their doctor without having to leave the office.
