For Employers & Brokers

Reduce Healthcare Costs. Improve Employee Access.

Q: How much does Direct Primary Care cost for employers?

Employers typically invest $75–150 per employee per month (PEPM) for comprehensive primary care access. This replaces copays, deductibles, and most primary care claims — often reducing total healthcare spend by 15–30% within the first year.

Q: Does DPC replace health insurance?

No. DPC covers primary care services and is paired with a lower-cost wraparound or catastrophic health plan. The combination typically costs less than traditional insurance while providing better day-to-day access for employees.

Q: How does DPC improve employee retention?

Employees value same-day or next-day appointments, direct physician access via phone or text, and zero copays for primary care visits. Companies offering DPC report higher satisfaction scores and reduced absenteeism.

The Operating Model

One operating team. Independent practices.

A national network only works for employers if it feels like one vendor. Here is how Freedom Healthworks operationally unites physician-owned practices across 38+ states without consolidating ownership.

One master agreement. Central PEPM invoice.
02
Onboard
Single eligibility file. One member ID.

Report
Quarterly utilization & outcomes — unified.

One contract, one invoice

Freedom Healthworks holds the master employer agreement. PEPM is billed centrally — no matter how many network practices your workforce touches across states.

Unified onboarding & member services

Single eligibility file, single member ID, one support line. Employees don't navigate practice-by-practice; HR doesn't manage parallel relationships.

Standardized clinical access

Every network practice operates on the Freedom Practice System — consistent intake, visit-cadence commitments, and a shared data layer. The experience in Tampa matches the experience in Boise.

Centralized reporting

Utilization, engagement, and access metrics roll up into one quarterly report for HR and benefits leadership — not a folder of practice-level PDFs.

Local autonomy, national accountability

Practices remain physician-owned — the structural reason clinical quality stays high. The operating team enforces network adequacy, response SLAs, and escalations on your behalf.

Network adequacy and launch-ready coverage vary by ZIP code. We confirm exact in-market and tele-DPC availability during the employer fit review.
