We are genuinely excited to start sharing early results from Mending Health Insurance showing what we’ve long believed to be true: when you center healthcare around a strong primary care relationship, quality goes up and costs go down.

Direct primary care (DPC) for the win!

How do we make healthcare truly affordable?
- We begin with consistent, comprehensive primary care. When you have an ongoing relationship with a trusted primary care team who knows you, your history, and your goals, you stay healthier. That means fewer surprises, fewer unnecessary ER visits, and fewer hospitalizations — which lowers costs for you and for the system as a whole.

How do we improve access to primary care?
- We make it sustainable and joyful for physicians to practice. By reducing administrative red tape and shifting away from volume-based care, doctors can focus on what matters most: listening, problem-solving, and building real relationships with patients. When primary care is rewarding again, more physicians choose it — and more patients gain access.

A strong primary care foundation leads to:
- Lower overall healthcare costs
- Fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays
- Better management of chronic conditions
- A greater focus on prevention
- Smarter, system-wide savings

We are proud to partner with Mending Health Insurance and Mending Access to rethink access to care by putting the physician–patient relationship back at the center. The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model invests more directly in primary care — where it makes the biggest difference — while still keeping overall costs lower.

After four years of hard work, we’re starting to see the data confirm what we see every day in practice: when you invest in primary care, people do better.

And when people do better, communities thrive.

Two senators from opposite sides of the aisle coming together to bust up vertical integration monopolies of healthcare. Your insurance company, pharmacy, and clinicians should not be owned by the same entity. This Is how they get more pieces of the pie and more millions yearly.
