Direct Primary Care

One of the great advantages of being a Medi-Share member is that you have a say in what your program should look like through the member vote process. In May 2020, Members voted to maximize their membership in a few new ways, including access to Direct Primary Care (DPC), free telemental health, and annual physicals eligible for sharing.

Effective December 1, 2020, Members on the $12,000 AHP who use a Direct Primary Care provider can submit their DPC fees, up to $1,800, for sharing. If their AHP has not been met, the DPC fees will be applied to their AHP. Members will submit a Reimbursement Form with their DPC invoice to get reimbursed/credit applied to their AHP. To learn more about Direct Primary Care or to search for a DPC provider in your areas, visit https://mapper.dpcfrontier.com/.

Direct Primary Care is a growing, innovative way for a patient or family to join a primary care practice. DPC provides access to the physician at any time for well care, sick care, or a telemedicine visit. For a reasonable monthly fee, there are many benefits-- including a yearly physical, reasonable labs according to your specific DPC provider, medications that can be purchased at cost, and referrals to lower-cost labs, radiology services, and specialty physicians who charge fair fees.

This can be an ideal solution for Medi-Share members with a high AHP who want to be good stewards of their own finances. The monthly fees can be as low as $50 for an individual and $100 for a family, but they vary in different areas of the country.
