As a fellow small business owner, I understand how important it is to make every dollar count. Many employers are paying significant amounts for employee health insurance, but it’s worth asking: what are you really getting in return? Often, it means long appointment wait times, brief and impersonal visits, reliance on urgent care, and additional out-of-pocket costs such as copays and deductibles. For some small business owners, this prevents them from offering health care coverage at all.
At Sacred Heart Family Medicine, we offer a different approach—one that is simple, transparent, and designed to truly support both patients and employers:
• No copays
• No additional procedure fees (beyond the cost of supplies)
• Wholesale pricing on medications
• Deeply discounted lab services
• Reduced reliance on urgent care and emergency room visits
Your employees benefit from:
• Unlimited doctor visits
• Same-day or next-day appointments
• Direct access to their physician when they need it
• Less time away from work for medical care
For businesses, this means healthier employees, fewer disruptions to the workday, and more predictable healthcare costs. We also offer discounted membership rates for groups enrolling six or more employees.
I would love the opportunity to connect with you and discuss how Sacred Heart Family Medicine could support your team in a more personal, accessible, and cost-effective way.
Thank you for your time and for the work you do in our community.
Warmly,
Dr. Elizabeth Wright
Employers are spending a LOT… and employees still avoid care due to cost.
| Traditional Insurance | DPC + HDHP | |
| Employer annual cost | $9500 | $7500 |
| Employee access | Limited, copays apply | Unlimited primary care |
| Deductible Burden | Moderate | High, but mitigated by DPC |
| ER/Urgent Care Use | High due to poor access ER visit: $1,200–$2,500+ Urgent care: $150–$300 | Minimal ER Visits 50% less than traditional Urgent Care 30-60% less than traditional |
| Productivity | Lower due to wait times | Higher |
| Preventive Care | Often delayed, avoided due to cost and access | Encouraged and frequent |
