It is very obvious that today’s healthcare system has become overcomplicated and that patients often have poor experiences. This is a problem for individual patients but now employers are seeing it as a problem for their businesses also. A recent issue of the Charlotte Business Journal reported that the health and financial risks of employees avoiding or delaying care are leading employers to consider an approach that prioritizes positive patient experiences: direct primary care.

In these arrangements, Charlotte employers give employees access to high-quality, physician-led care in near-site, onsite or shared multi-employer clinics that are independent of traditional employer-sponsored insurance. The idea is to provide convenient, more comprehensive, and personal care that encourages earlier intervention. Over time, employees enjoy better health and employers reduce costs

Just as individuals are making the change to Direct Primary Care offices, forward-thinking business, such as those in Charlotte, are also now seeing the benefits to their companies to offer this model to their employees.
