Direct Primary Care for Employers

Your employees can't get an appointment with their doctor. Your premiums keep going up. Your team is heading to urgent care and the ER for issues that should have been handled by a phone call. And the more you spend on traditional health insurance, the less your people actually use it.

At Sina Medical Direct Primary Care, we offer employers a smarter alternative. Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) program gives your team unlimited access to a triple board-certified physician for a flat monthly fee, with no copays, no deductibles, and no insurance hassle. It works alongside your existing insurance or HDHP plan, and it consistently lowers total healthcare spending while making your employees noticeably happier.

Why Modern Employers are Adding DPC to Their Benefits Package

The problem isn't your insurance plan. The problem is that your employees can't access the doctor.

Even with "Platinum" insurance, the average wait time for a new patient visit is 24+ days. When employees can't see a doctor, they head to the ER ($2,000+ per visit) or lose half a day of work sitting in a waiting room.

Forward-thinking employers are now layering Direct Primary Care (DPC) over their existing insurance to slash claims, boost productivity, and improve employee retention.

Direct ROI: The "Claims Killer"

DPC acts as a high-performance filter for your insurance plan. By giving employees 24/7 access to a doctor who knows them, you eliminate the most expensive unnecessary claims.

52% Lower Claims Spend: Case studies of employers layering DPC with traditional plans have shown annual savings of up to $360,000 for mid-sized firms (Hint Health, 2025).

40% Reduction in ER Visits: When employees can text their doctor at 7:00 PM on a Sunday, they avoid the "Emergency Room default" (Society of Actuaries/Milliman Study).

Stop the Premium Spiral: With family premiums reaching $26,993 in 2025 (a 6% jump), DPC offers a flat-fee "fixed cost" that stabilizes your budget (KFF 2025 Employer Survey).

High-Deductible "Rescue"

Many employers have moved to High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) to save on premiums, but this often causes employees to avoid care because of high out-of-pocket costs.

$0 Copays: DPC removes the financial barrier. Employees get unlimited visits, stitches, and chronic disease management for one monthly fee.

Transparency: No surprise bills or complex EOBs. We offer wholesale pricing on labs and medications, often saving employees 75 to 85% compared to retail rates (Osprey PolyClinic).

Productivity and "Zero-Wait" Access

In the traditional system, a "quick checkup" is a 4-hour affair. In our DPC practice, it's a text message or a same-day visit with zero wait time.

Same/Next-Day Appointments: We prioritize your workforce. No more weeks-long waits for a sick visit.

Virtual-First Care: Most routine issues (rashes, refills, sinus infections) are handled via HIPAA-secure text or video, keeping your employees at work and productive.

A Benefit Employees Actually Love

Standard health insurance has a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of just 7%. People generally dislike their insurance. DPC changes the narrative.

World-Class Satisfaction: DPC practices maintain an NPS of 85+, a level of loyalty typically reserved for brands like Apple or Costco (Medical Economics, 2026).

Retention Advantage: In a competitive talent market, DPC is the "Golden Handcuff." Once an employee experiences 30-minute doctor visits and 24/7 texting, they won't want to go back to the old way.

Comparison: The DPC Advantage

Access	Phone Trees / Portals	Direct Text/Cell Access
Cost Per Visit	Copay + Deductible	$0 Copay

The National Shift: Why Employers Are Funding DPC at Record Rates

The growth in employer-sponsored DPC isn't anecdotal. It's documented across the industry.

According to Hint Health's 2026 Direct Primary Care Trends Report, drawing on data from over 2,700 DPC clinicians and 1.4 million members, DPC has moved from a niche alternative to national healthcare infrastructure.

Employers Now Fund the Majority of DPC Memberships: For the first time in history, employers now fund the majority (60%) of active DPC memberships statewide, signaling a massive vote of confidence from organizations looking for healthcare strategies that actually work.

Stable Pricing While Premiums Skyrocket: While traditional premiums skyrocket, employer-sponsored DPC rates have remained remarkably stable, holding within a narrow $55 to $65 range for five consecutive years.

DPC Is Growing Fastest in Illinois: Illinois is now among the top five states in the nation for DPC clinician growth, signaling that this model is no longer regional, it's becoming the standard.

Verified Employer Case Study: A national real estate firm that implemented employer-sponsored Direct Primary Care alongside a Gold PPO plan saw a 52% savings vs. non-DPC cohorts, translating to $360,000 in savings in 2024 alone, with improved chronic disease control and higher employee satisfaction scores.

DPC Reduces Insurance Usage Where It Hurts Most: DPC does not replace insurance but instead reduces the usage of insurance since 80% of healthcare needs can be accommodated via primary care. With both reduced usage of traditional insurance and the added value of direct primary care, employers benefit from tremendous savings.

Your business doesn't have to wait for the rest of the country to catch up. The model is proven, the data is clear, and the legal infrastructure (HSA-eligibility, EBHRA-compatibility) is now in place to make adoption simpler than ever.

Profound Effect on Your Bottom Line

Reducing Absenteeism

Unlike traditional primary care, where scheduling appointments may require a two-week wait and a half-day off work, DPC allows employees to address medical issues with a brief phone call, often receiving prescriptions or resolving concerns in under an hour, maintaining productivity.

Attract and Retain Talent

Offering DPC as an employee benefit can make your business more attractive to potential hires and help retain your valuable team members by demonstrating your commitment to their health and well-being.

Reducing Medical Costs

DPC reduces costs for self-insured employers by preventing unnecessary employee visits to the emergency room or urgent care. For instance, if an employee experiencing kidney stone symptoms can't secure a prompt primary care appointment, they might end up in the ER, incurring substantial medical expenses that a quick DPC visit could have avoided.

Annual physical exams and preventive screenings

24/7 direct text, call, and telehealth access to Dr. Ali

How DPC Works Alongside Your Existing Insurance

DPC is not insurance. It is a membership-based primary care service that handles the day-to-day medical needs that account for the majority of your employees' healthcare interactions.

For everything outside primary care (specialist visits, hospital stays, major procedures), your existing insurance or a paired HDHP plan provides coverage. The two work together: DPC handles the front-end care that traditional insurance does poorly, and your insurance handles the catastrophic and specialty care that DPC isn't designed for.

This combination is especially powerful when paired with:

High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs): DPC removes the financial barrier that keeps employees from using their high-deductible coverage

Self-funded plans: DPC reduces overall claims spend by intercepting unnecessary ER and urgent care visits

Excepted Benefit HRAs (EBHRAs): Employers can fund employee DPC memberships tax-free through this mechanism

HSA-eligible coverage: As of January 1, 2026, DPC memberships are HSA-eligible, allowing further tax advantages for both employer and employee

Questions

Employer FAQs

Does DPC replace our existing health insurance?

No — DPC is designed to work alongside your current plan, not replace it. Think of it as a primary care layer that handles the majority of everyday health needs, which reduces how often employees lean on your insurance for costly specialist visits or ER trips.

What types of services are included in the DPC membership?

Most DPC memberships cover unlimited primary care visits, preventive care, chronic disease management, minor in-office procedures (like stitches or joint injections), and wholesale pricing on labs and prescriptions. See what's included at Sina Medical Direct Primary Care.

How quickly can we get our employees enrolled?

Onboarding timelines vary, but most employer groups can have employees enrolled and accessing care within a few weeks of signing an agreement. We handle the logistics to make the transition smooth.
