Fast access
Same-day and next-day visits mean fewer hours lost to appointments and fewer avoidable urgent-care trips.
For Employers
A better primary care benefit for your San Diego team
Give your employees longer visits, same-day access, and a provider who knows them, with monthly pricing that works alongside your existing health plan.
The opportunity
Most healthcare spending starts with primary care
Employer healthcare costs are projected to rise a median of 9% in 2026, following the highest back-to-back increases in a decade.1 Yet primary care, where most everyday health needs and referrals begin, is often the part employers have the least direct control over.
Direct Primary Care gives your team a simple way to get care: quick access for the small things, steady management of the ongoing ones, and time to focus on prevention. It doesn't replace your health plan. It works alongside it, and may help reduce avoidable urgent-care and ER visits.

What your team gets
Healthier employees, simpler costs
Predictable pricing
Budget-friendly monthly pricing with no per-visit copays. If a service falls outside the plan, we go over the cost and get approval before moving ahead.
Focus on prevention
Time to catch issues early and manage chronic conditions steadily. These are the things that drive long-term cost.
A benefit they'll use
Direct access to a real care team is a benefit employees notice and value, which helps with recruiting and retention.
Works with your plan
DPC pairs naturally with self-funded and high-deductible plans, covering everyday care while your plan handles the big events.
HSA-friendly
As of January 1, 2026, DPC fees are HSA-eligible under federal rules, and enrolling no longer disqualifies HSA contributions.3

Employer questions
Common questions from employers
Does this replace our health insurance?
No. Direct Primary Care is not insurance and doesn't replace your plan. It works alongside it, so your plan keeps covering hospital stays, specialists, imaging, and emergencies, while DPC handles everyday primary care.
Will our employees have to switch doctors?
They don't have to. Pacora Health can be their primary care and handle the full range of everyday care a primary care provider does, from checkups and sick visits to refills, lab work, and managing ongoing conditions. It also works alongside any specialists or other providers they already see.
Can we start with a pilot?
Yes. Many employers start with one department or a voluntary enrollment, over a timeframe that works for you, with success measured against goals we set together. It's a low-risk way to see how it fits your team.
Can employees use their HSA?
As of January 1, 2026, DPC fees are HSA-eligible under federal rules, and enrolling no longer disqualifies HSA contributions.3 We're happy to share the relevant IRS guidance for your CFO or benefits team.
