Health Insurance for Direct Primary Care – Atlas Direct
Finally a supplemental health insurance plan built specifically for Direct Primary Care practices like Balanced Physician Care
I’m happy to report that there is now a new insurance program called Atlas Direct that’s specifically designed to work with DPC.
It’s a fixed indemnity plan that offers coverage for hospitalization, emergency-room care, ambulance transportation and several other medical services as well as fixed payment amounts for over 400 surgeries and diagnostic procedures.
- There are no deductibles or copays
- Payments go directly to you, not providers
- Cash benefits can be used for any expense, not just medical bills
- There are no open enrollment periods, so you can enroll at any time
- There are no network restrictions
It is also important to understand that Atlas Direct does not include Direct Primary Care itself, which you have to obtain from a Direct Primary Care provider (like Balanced Physician Care) who will charge you separately for their services (our membership).
Finally, please understand that Atlas Direct is not a comprehensive major medical plan and that if you are looking for comprehensive health insurance you should consult with a licensed insurance agent or visit your state’s health insurance marketplace.
For additional details about Atlas Direct’s benefits, eligibility, limitations, and exclusions, please see their brochure. For a list of the 439 surgeries and medical procedures covered by Atlas Direct, click here.
There are no deductibles or copays with Atlas Direct’s plan.
We are exciting about the possibilities with this new insurance option. It is worth taking a look at.
Yours Truly,
