Direct Primary Care Membership in Morristown, TN
We’re accepting new patients!
What Is a Direct Primary Care Membership?
A direct primary care membership is a monthly service provided by Cardinal Osteopathic Wellness Center, PC, to patients for a small monthly fee. This service includes appointments with a physician who truly wants to get to know you in order to improve your health and optimize your life.
As a member, you will have the physician’s cell phone number so you can text or call if you have questions or concerns about your health. Direct primary care is about building a healthy relationship between your primary care provider and you the patient.
We don’t bill insurance, so they can’t tell us what is best for you. We get to make health-related decisions together, without insurance denying coverage or insisting that you need something that you don’t. Cardinal Osteopathic Wellness Center, PC, has negotiated with local facilities for reduced fees for services such as X-rays, CTs, and MRIs. We also offer reduced pricing on many common medications and lab work done through local vendors. Sign up today for better care and see how much better you feel tomorrow.

FAQ: Direct Primary Care
How Does DPC Compare to Traditional Health Insurance?
Your Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership is not insurance; it is primary care offered directly to you for a low monthly membership fee. Your appointments, basic labs and services are included. You’ll still need insurance if you have a major health problem. (But when those problems arise, your DPC doctor will be next to you to guide you through the system and coordinate your care.) That said, you may be able to save money on your insurance!
Direct Primary Care is like maintaining your car; you pay to have the oil changed and replace the tires and brakes, but you pay for insurance to cover when something catastrophic happens like a car accident. Health insurance is supposed to be the same way. You can pay a low monthly fee for primary medical care with Cardinal Osteopathic Wellness Center, PC, and have insurance for situations like major surgery or life-threatening illnesses.
What Is Direct Primary Care for Employers?
As an employer, one of your primary concerns is keeping your employees healthy, and it’s not hard to guess why. An employee’s health directly impacts whether they’re able to show up on time, maintain productivity, and perform their basic job duties; but it also plays a huge factor in their work life and determines how engaged they are both in the workplace and with clients. Healthy employees are happier, perform better at their jobs, and can work for many more years than those who are plagued by health issues. In addition, your employees will feel more valued and appreciated by you which in turn means less turnover — all things that have a direct impact on your company’s bottom line.
Studies show that, on average, a Direct Primary Care (DPC) member has 59% fewer emergency room visits, spends 30% fewer days in a hospital, and is referred to specialists 62% less often than a similarly situated patient in a traditional primary care practice. As an employer, you should pay close attention to these statistics. Why? By proactively supporting the health of your employees you can reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, enhance engagement, and make sure that the employees you care so deeply for are healthy and happy. It is a win-win for everyone!
As a company, one of the best things you can do for your employees is to consider offering Direct Primary Care membership plans for your staff. By choosing DPC as a health benefits offering, your employees will benefit and so will your company! Many employers find that DPC is a convenient way to ensure quality care, enhance employee health and happiness, and provide a competitive advantage for recruitment and retention purposes that helps to decrease their turnover rates. More importantly, it provides significant cost savings for employers.
By partnering with Cardinal Osteopathic Wellness Center, PC, employers can offer better medical care to their employees at much lower rates than you typically pay for insurance alone, something that has a direct impact on your bottom line when you look at your company’s healthcare expenditures. Especially if you can offer higher deductible plans with a direct primary care membership. Many small businesses can’t afford the high cost of insurance, but a membership with Cardinal can get you and your employees primary care at a low monthly fee.
For example, our membership is $75/month and has an initial sign-up fee of $150. That’s a hefty savings when compared to what you would pay for traditional health plans. When you add to that the money you’ll save by having healthier employees who call out less, it’s easy to see why DPC is becoming such an appealing alternative to traditional health plans for many employers.
If you’re interested in making DPC available to your employees in the Hamblen County, Tennessee area, contact our office at (423) 616-2227 or email Dr. Hamann for more information.
