• Routine check-ups and preventive care

Cost-Effective Solution

Bear Medical Primary Care offers a flat monthly fee per employee, making it a predictable and budget-friendly option. There are no co-pays or deductibles, and all services covered under the membership are included in this fee.

Employers can either set up to pay for full memberships for this flat fee, or can choose to pay a portion of the total cost for their employees, leaving the employee with a trivial membership fee ($10-20/month/person).

Reduce employee sick days and call-outs

Immediate access allows healthier employees... quicker turn around to return to health and their job, reducing long time sick. Example: An employee with a "thrown-out back" after lifting a heavy object can get access to medications, therapy and medical care to return to health sooner.

Convenient hours and telemedicine allows your employee to see the doctor after work or on the weekend, or do a telemedicine appointment during their lunch instead of taking the morning/afternoon off to see their doctor, or using their PTO.

Easy access to the doctor to clear your employees to return to work as soon as they are able. Sick notes can be faxed or emailed directly to you at your employee's request with estimated return to work day, when they are not healthy enough to work.

Adding value with or without offering health insurance

Employers can give their employees excellent value with their compensation package with or without offering health insurance.

If the employee member is not insured, we can negotiate cash-pay discounts with local radiology and lab services, and help the employee save money by choosing low-cost medications and/or paying cash prices for medications through local or national pharmacies.

With insurance, employees are less likely to run through their deductible since they can visit our clinic and contact the doctor easily. They are less likely to end up in the Emergency Room, or hospitalized for a neglected condition. Insured employees can save money by opting for "lower tier" bronze plans or catastrophic insurance plans if they qualify; Learn about Health Insurance Options.

Cost savings with self-funded insurance plans

Setting up a self-funded insurance plan is possible and may save your business significant money. Typically, the employer pays most of the routine medical bills of its employees up to some cap, maybe $10,000 per employee, then uses a stop-loss insurance plan for major expenses such as surgeries or cancer. They are highly customizable to suit your needs.

Direct Primary Care membership with Bear Medical Primary Care with self-insured plans might save your business anywhere from 20-40% on overall health care costs if implemented correctly. Here are some benefits:

• more time with patients (30-60 minute visits)
• More access to care (same day/next day appointments, availability to text, phone and email doctor)
• reduced need for referral to specialists
• reduced insurance claims
• Reduced ER visits
• Reduced Urgent Care visits
• Reduced hospital admissions and readmissions
• Lower lab costs
• 20-40% lower overall health care costs due to all of the above.
