Family health insurance premiums rose by 52% for the past ten years, according to the KFF Employer Health Benefits Survey. With costs expected to climb another 41% by 2032, many employers are rethinking their approach to employee healthcare.
Well, Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a straightforward solution. One that cuts costs without sacrificing care.
Craft Concierge’s DPC model is designed to keep healthcare spending predictable while giving employees better access to primary care. From lower out-of-pocket costs to fewer insurance claims, the benefits go beyond saving money.
In this article, we’ll break down how DPC delivers a measurable return on investment for employers, explore key savings areas, and show how Craft Concierge makes it easy to prioritize health without inflating costs.
How Direct Primary Care Delivers ROI for Employers
Craft Concierge’s DPC model goes beyond basic care by focusing on preventive services, timely access to doctors, and transparent pricing.
Here’s how it delivers measurable returns for employers:
Reduced Healthcare Costs
Craft Concierge’s Direct Primary Care (DPC) model for employers helps control expenses by offering predictable, flat-rate fees for primary care. This kind of structure reduces reliance on insurance and cuts out unexpected costs.
Here’s how employers save with Craft Concierge:
- Employers can save between 20% and 50% annually on healthcare costs by switching to Craft Concierge.
- Routine visits are included in the membership fee, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for employees and preventing unexpected charges.
- Diagnostic tests like MRIs cost $250, a significant reduction from the $3,000 typically billed through traditional providers.
- Lab work, including cholesterol panels and diabetes screenings, costs just $5 compared to the average $128.
- Preventing unnecessary treatments reduces emergency room visits by 30% to 50% and hospital admissions by 59%.
- Long-term health improvements through preventive care can lead to up to 80% savings on blood tests and a 30% to 50% reduction in physical therapy costs.
- Fast access to care keeps employees healthier and more productive, with 90% of patients receiving same-day or next-day appointments.
Increased Employee Productivity
When employees can access healthcare quickly, they are more likely to address health issues before they become serious. Craft Concierge makes care easy to get with same-day and next-day appointments.
Employees can also connect with doctors 24/7 through virtual care. This approach reduces emergency room visits and lengthy hospital stays. With fewer sick days and faster recovery times, productivity improves across the board.
Improved Employee Satisfaction and Retention
Health benefits can make or break employee morale. Craft Concierge focuses on giving employees direct access to doctors and longer appointment times.
Employees feel valued when they can talk to a doctor without feeling rushed. Personalized care plans also make it easier to manage ongoing health concerns.
Satisfied employees are less likely to leave, reducing turnover costs. Employers can also use Craft Concierge’s care model as a recruitment tool, attracting top talent with affordable, accessible healthcare.
How to Track the ROI of Direct Primary Care
Measuring the return on investment (ROI) of Direct Primary Care (DPC) helps employers see the financial and health benefits more clearly. While Craft Concierge offers predictable pricing and potential savings, the impact can vary depending on how employers track key metrics.
Here’s what to keep an eye on:
- Insurance premiums can drop when fewer claims are filed. Monitoring these changes can show whether the DPC model is reducing overall costs.
- Emergency room visits can be a good indicator of how well preventive care is working. Fewer ER visits mean employees are getting timely care before issues become emergencies.
- Hospitalization rates reveal how effectively chronic conditions are being managed. If these rates go down, it suggests that employees are receiving consistent, proactive care.
- Employee satisfaction surveys can provide insight into how well the DPC model is meeting their needs. Happier employees are often healthier, more engaged, and less likely to miss work.
- Productivity metrics, like absenteeism and return-to-work times, can show how quickly employees recover when they get fast, accessible care.
If you are able to track these areas, you can get a clearer picture of how DPC impacts both costs and employee health. We do provide transparent pricing, but the true savings come from how effectively the DPC model is implemented and utilized.
