Starting in 2026, many people can use HSA dollars for DPC memberships, up to monthly caps.

I break down what that shift means if you like the idea of HELPcare.

Download the “HSA + HELPcare Starter Guide” to see how it could apply to you: helpcare.health/hsa.

HSAs don’t have to be confusing.

I explain what an HSA is, who usually qualifies, and why it can be powerful with a high deductible plan.

This video explains exactly where HELPcare fits if you already have employer sponsored insurance.

Think “insurance for big stuff, membership for everyday care.”

See how that could look for you at helpcare.health/join.

HELPcare isn’t for everyone. I lay out who it’s a strong fit for and who should probably stick with what they have.

Use it as a quick self check before you decide.

One Year of HELPcare vs. One Year of Copays

We do simple math on copays, missed work, and “random bills” vs. a predictable membership.

Not a guarantee, just a clearer way to think about cost.

“What if your primary care team wasn’t just looking for disease, but for optimal health?”

That’s the kind of question that keeps people from settling for “you’re fine” when their body is clearly saying otherwise. And it’s exactly why we’re excited to introduce Sara Persinger, DNP, one of the newest nurse practitioners at HELPcare in Albert Lea and Rochester.

Sara’s story runs from early mornings on a Wisconsin dairy farm to caring for patients with advanced chronic disease at Mayo Clinic… and then choosing a different path: catching problems upstream instead of waiting until they’re “bad enough” for insurance to step in.

In this week’s Take Charge with HELPcare episode and blog, you’ll hear:

- Why “good enough” lab ranges often miss problems that are quietly building
- How she thinks about “Is your body functioning optimally?” vs “Do you have a disease?”
- A powerful visit story where a simple skin concern turned into a much deeper, whole-person conversation
- Why HELPcare’s membership model lets her take the time to listen, look for root causes, and involve colleagues without triggering more surprise bills

If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while feeling anything but, you’ll want to meet Sara.

Read the full story and watch the episode here, then share it with someone who’s tired of rushed, one-problem-per-visit care:

And if you’re ready for primary care that aims higher than “good enough,” Sara is now seeing HELPcare members in Albert Lea and Rochester. Explore membership options at helpcare.health/join.

What if your primary care provider wasn’t just looking for disease — but looking for optimal health? That’s exactly why [...]

Brain health shouldn’t start after a diagnosis.

Inside Our Advanced Lab Panels

Most clinics run the minimum. We widen the lens so we can see what’s really going on earlier.

In this video I break down, in plain language, what those extra markers can tell us.

What $0 Office Visits Really Mean

No copays at the front desk. No “is this worth a visit?” math.

I show how that changes decisions for kids, chronic issues, and “small stuff.”
