For small businesses

GIVE YOUR TEAM A DOCTOR.

Group insurance costs more than most small businesses can carry. A direct primary care membership gives every employee a personal physician for a fraction of that, and it is one of the simplest investments you can make in your team.

Employees get unlimited visits, same-day access and direct messaging with their doctor. You get a healthier team, fewer sick days, and a benefit people actually use.

What your team gets

  • Same-day or next-day visits

    Sick employees get seen the day they call, so a cold does not become a week off.

  • Direct messaging

    Your team texts their doctor instead of waiting on hold or driving to urgent care.

  • Longer visits

    Thirty to sixty minutes to solve the problem, not seven minutes to defer it.

  • Predictable cost

    One flat rate per employee. No claims, no renewals, no surprise increases.

  • Tax-deductible

    Memberships are a deductible business expense, and they pair well with a catastrophic plan.

  • Family add-ons

    Employees can add spouses and children at the reduced employer rate.

How much you cover

Your contribution is an ordinary business expense. Talk to your CPA about how it's treated for your entity type.

Employee's income tax bracket

Only matters if employees pay part of the membership. Used to estimate what a pre-tax payroll deduction saves them.

This tool compares primary care and urgent care costs plus any premium change you enter. It does not estimate savings on prescriptions, labs, imaging, specialists, or hospital care, which members often see too. HSA rules: under IRS guidance on the 2025 law, direct primary care fees up to $150/mo for one person or $300/mo for more than one person are HSA-compatible. Fees above those limits can still be paid from an HSA, but you can't make new HSA contributions while enrolled. Fees your employer pays, or that you pay through pre-tax payroll, can't also be reimbursed from your HSA. HSA tax savings use your federal bracket plus Colorado's 4.4% flat rate, and 7.65% FICA when you contribute through payroll. FSA reimbursement of direct primary care fees depends on your employer's plan; a general-purpose FSA also makes you ineligible to contribute to an HSA. Confirm your situation with a tax advisor. Estimates only, not financial, insurance, or medical advice. Rates current as of September 2026.
