Direct Primary Care for Businesses: Cut Costs, Increase Access, Improve Health
Give your employees healthcare that actually works for them and for you.
With insurance costs climbing and high-deductible plans limiting access, DPC bridges the gap—providing affordable, proactive primary care that keeps people healthier and businesses more profitable and productive.
Employee Health Plan
Our Employee Health Plan saves you money and provides value to your employees. Including the inherent value of healthier, happier employees, employers also improve the value of their business. Employers are able to save on health care costs by as much as 20-50% while at the same time improving employee health, retention, and productivity.
Best Practices for Businesses
Pairing a high deductible ACA plan with the Integrative Life Membership is often significantly less expensive than providing a lower deductible comprehensive plan. Your employees get optimal care while you realize the cost savings of decreased premiums and decreased illness-related expense.
We are proud to offer this alternative to our Asheville community. Across the country, many employers are adopting a similar model as they realize it is an affordable way to provide better, more personal care that focuses on prevention, wellness, and quality of life.
