The Solo Practice Challenge
Independent DPC practices face a fundamental challenge: when you're small, you don't have negotiating power.
Lab companies quote retail rates. Medical suppliers don't offer volume discounts. Software vendors charge what they can get. Every dollar spent on overhead is a dollar that can't go toward patient care or your practice's sustainability.
Network Buying Power
Freedom Healthworks Partner Network is a group purchasing organization that aggregates buying power across hundreds of DPC practices nationwide, negotiating rates that individual practices could never access alone—often 40-80% below retail on labs, supplies, and services.
You stay independent. You make your own clinical decisions. But when it comes to buying power, you're not alone.
What's Included
Partner Network members access pre-negotiated rates on:
Laboratory services—comprehensive panels at wholesale pricing. Medical supplies and equipment. Pharmacy partnerships including FreedomDoc. EMR and practice management software. Billing and payment processing. Insurance products for your practice. Access to vetted attorneys and compliance professionals.
We vet every partner. These aren't random vendors—they're companies that understand DPC and are committed to supporting it.
Real Savings
The savings are not theoretical.
A typical DPC practice ordering standard lab panels might spend $30-50 per patient through traditional channels. Through Partner Network pricing, the same panels cost $5-15. Multiply that across hundreds of patients and hundreds of labs per year.
The annual savings for most practices more than covers any network membership costs.
Beyond Discounts
The Partner Network is more than a group purchasing organization. It's a community of physicians who share what works.
Members exchange operational tips, marketing strategies, clinical approaches. When someone solves a problem, that solution spreads across the network.
DPC can be isolating. The Partner Network makes sure you always have colleagues to call on.
Joining the Network
Partner Network membership is available to any DPC practice aligned with our model. If you're already working with Freedom Healthworks on a startup or practice management engagement, Partner Network benefits are included.
If you're an independent DPC practice looking for the support of a larger network without sacrificing autonomy, we should talk.
