Send us a text

Direct Primary Care offers quality healthcare that's accessible, personalized, and often more affordable than traditional medical practices. Justin Futrell shares insights on this alternative healthcare model and answers common questions from listeners about how it works and why it's gaining popularity.

• DPC physicians prioritize patient care over paperwork, creating flexible solutions like Justin's experience getting a throat swab between appointments
• Most DPC providers have networks of specialists who also offer reasonable cash prices for patients
• Cash pay prices can be significantly lower than insurance rates – Justin's example showed a $2,200 MRI through insurance versus $450 cash pay
• DPC providers can prescribe medications in most states, with some even providing limited pharmacy services included in membership fees
• Employers should consider embedding DPC into their health plans to improve employee benefits and potentially reduce healthcare costs

Your company should definitely be thinking about embedding direct primary care into your employer-sponsored health plan. If you liked the episode, please subscribe and give a five-star review.
