Direct Primary Care (DPC) is changing the way businesses think about healthcare benefits. Employees want affordable, dependable care, and job seekers are drawn to workplaces that make it available. Employers know that providing meaningful health benefits is key to reducing absenteeism and turnover, while failing to do so can drive up overhead and place additional stress on business owners. DPC is uniquely positioned where these needs intersect, offering a model that improves employee satisfaction while helping employers manage costs and retain talent.
Membership benefits for employees are identical to those offered to individuals and families, with unlimited access to visits, clear communication with their physician, and straightforward, predictable pricing. Employers have the flexibility to decide whether family members are included and which additional services will be covered through the business account. Burkhart Direct Family Care also partners with
Health Compiler to give employers valuable insight into how their team uses the service, including metrics on visits, calls, emails, and text messages. These reports demonstrate in real time how DPC supports healthier and more productive employees.
The strength of DPC as a workforce solution was further bolstered by the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB). This legislation confirmed that DPC memberships can qualify as a legitimate health expense, creating favorable tax treatment for both employers and employees. The bill ensures that businesses investing in DPC gain not only healthier teams, but also financial advantages that make the arrangement even more appealing.
