At Aslan Health, we believe in delivering whole-person care that is accessible, affordable, and effective. One of the most innovative approaches to healthcare today is Direct Primary Care (DPC)—a model that is transforming the way patients and providers experience healthcare.
Proven Impact on Patient Outcomes
Studies have shown that patients enrolled in Direct Primary Care experience 37% fewer inpatient hospital admissions compared to those in traditional insurance-based models. This reduction is significant—not only because it keeps people healthier and out of the hospital, but also because it reflects the kind of proactive, preventive care that DPC emphasizes.
By removing the barriers of high deductibles, copays, and complicated insurance approvals, DPC makes it easier for patients to see their provider early, address health concerns promptly, and manage chronic conditions effectively. This consistent access to care leads to healthier patients and fewer emergencies.
Lower Costs Through Efficiency
Direct Primary Care doesn’t just improve health outcomes—it also reduces the cost of care. Research shows that DPC practices can lower administrative expenses and decrease claims costs by up to 25%. Because DPC providers don’t bill insurance, they avoid the complex and costly bureaucracy that drives up expenses in traditional systems.
That savings translates into more affordable care for patients and a sustainable model for providers. Patients pay a straightforward fee or a same-day visit cost, while providers spend more time focusing on patient health instead of paperwork.
A Solution for Small Employers
Healthcare benefits are one of the greatest challenges for small businesses. Rising premiums, high deductibles, and limited options make it difficult for employers to provide meaningful coverage. That’s why Aslan Health offers a Direct Primary Care model for small employers, giving them a cost-effective way to provide high-quality healthcare to their employees.
With DPC, employers can offer their teams unlimited access to primary care, predictable costs, and a healthier workforce—without the heavy burden of traditional insurance. This not only helps employees and their families but also strengthens the business by reducing absenteeism and improving job satisfaction.
Why This Matters for Our Community
At Aslan Health, we are committed to providing high-quality, whole-person care for our neighbors—especially those who are uninsured, underinsured, or part of the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population. The DPC model aligns perfectly with our mission by ensuring:
- Affordable access to comprehensive primary care
- Better health outcomes through prevention and continuity of care
- Reduced financial strain on families, businesses, and the healthcare system as a whole
When patients thrive, the whole community benefits.
