Built For You & Your Team, Not for Others
As a self-insured employer, every claim comes out of your pocket. When employees avoid the doctor due to cost and complexity, minor issues escalate into ER visits and expensive claims. myHometown Direct Care removes every barrier with hassle-free, same-day Unlimited Urgent Care, Primary Care, Behavioral Health and Wellness — $0 out-of-pocket, no paperwork, same-day access — so employees get care early, before it gets costly.
Not Insurance. myHometown Direct Care is a direct primary care membership — not health insurance. It is not subject to the insurance laws of the State of Ohio and does not meet any individual health insurance mandate that may be required under federal law.
Not included in any tier: Hospital-based services · Emergency Room services · Specialist services · Advanced imaging (MRI, CT, mammograms, etc.) · Molecular lab tests
The Challenge
Self-insured employers have seen healthcare claims climb year after year. The root cause: employees lack accessible primary care, so minor issues escalate into ER visits, specialist referrals, and hospitalizations. A single ER visit averages $2,200. A specialist referral chain can cost tens of thousands. Without removing the barriers to primary care access, your claims will keep rising.
What You Get with myHometown Direct Care
Employees Engage When Barriers Are Gone
Research shows employees are far more likely to seek primary care — and use it preventively — when there are no out-of-pocket costs and no administrative barriers. Engaged employees stay healthier and generate fewer claims.
Chronic Disease Management
Unmanaged chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, obesity) are the #1 driver of employer healthcare costs. Easy, no-barrier access to primary care keeps these conditions controlled and prevents costly complications.
Data & Utilization Reporting
The employer portal provides utilization analytics, enrollment data, and cost trend reporting to help you demonstrate ROI and make informed benefits decisions.
Pairs with Your Existing Plan
myHometown Direct Care works alongside your existing self-funded plan or HDHP. It doesn't replace your stop-loss coverage — it reduces the claims that trigger it.
Reduce Absenteeism
Faster care means faster recovery. Employees who can see a doctor same-day — with no out-of-pocket cost and no wait — return to work sooner, reducing the productivity losses from illness and injury.
Predictable Per-Member Cost
Replace unpredictable primary care claims with a flat monthly membership fee. Budget with certainty instead of managing claims volatility.
