Direct Primary Care for Employers in Southern Maine

Mainely Primary Care welcomes small business owners. It’s time to discover a new approach to health care.


Did you know that over 54% of Maine’s workforce works for small businesses? And each one of these employees needs healthcare. As you know, traditional insurance doesn’t work for most owners and workers. Thankfully, direct primary care (DPC) provides a solution.


DPC is a cost-effective way to provide meaningful healthcare access without the overwhelming expense of a full insurance plan. It’s simple, transparent, and designed to keep your employees healthy, productive, and connected to the community. Mainely Primary Care can handle your team’s primary care needs. Let’s talk.

Why Direct Primary Care Works for Small Businesses

Direct Primary Care operates on a membership model. Instead of dealing with insurance billing, your business pays a flat monthly fee for each participating employee. That fee covers unlimited primary care visits, same-day or next-day appointments, extended visits, and access to your provider when it’s needed most.


For small employers—especially those without HR departments or large budgets—DPC removes administrative burdens while giving employees a real healthcare benefit they can use. You don’t have to manage complex claims, compliance paperwork, or high premiums. Instead, you can create a custom membership solution that supports both your bottom line and your team’s wellbeing

Affordable Membership Options

Our DPC program for employers is flexible and easy to implement. We can adjust your plan based on ever-changing team needs.

Base Rate:

​

  • $75 per employee

  • $65 per dependent
     

To qualify for the employer rate, there must be a minimum of 5 participating employees. However, businesses are always welcome to sponsor an employee at the retail rate and still receive the group discount once they reach five participants.

​

Employers can decide how much they wish to contribute—covering the entire membership, splitting the cost, or including family members as part of a benefits package. The flexibility means every business can tailor the plan to fit its goals and budget.

A Benefit Employees Actually Use

Unlike many insurance plans that come with high deductibles or limited provider networks, DPC encourages employees to seek care before small issues become big problems. Members can schedule same-day appointments, contact their provider directly, and spend more time discussing their health concerns without the rush or red tape.

​

This accessibility reduces absenteeism, improves overall morale, and creates a stronger sense of security and loyalty among your team. When employees feel cared for, they’re more engaged and productive at work.

Lower Healthcare Costs—For Everyone

Even if your company already provides health insurance, pairing it with DPC can help reduce total healthcare spending. Employees who have easy access to primary care are less likely to rely on emergency departments or specialist visits for routine issues.

​

Here’s how DPC saves employers money:

​

  • Fewer emergency room visits: Minor illnesses and injuries can be treated quickly at our clinic before they escalate.

  • Fewer specialist referrals: Continuous, whole-person care often resolves problems in primary care without unnecessary referrals.

  • Lower lab costs: Members have access to reduced-rate labs, which can be paid for using a Health Savings Account (HSA).
     

Over time, this proactive model helps keep insurance premiums in check and reduces claims costs—making it a smart addition even for insured teams.

Businesses That Benefit Most from Our Main Direct Primary Care Plans

Any company that values its employees but struggles with traditional insurance costs can benefit from DPC. In particular, local Maine businesses in hands-on industries find it especially valuable.

​

DPC is ideal for:

​

  • Landscaping companies: Employees who work outdoors need easy access to care for injuries, fatigue, or seasonal illness.

  • Restaurants: High turnover and variable hours make traditional insurance difficult, but DPC offers consistent, low-cost access to healthcare.

  • Construction companies: Quick, local care for minor injuries and illnesses keeps workers on the job and projects on schedule.

  • Plumbers and electricians: These professionals often work long or irregular hours—DPC gives them a direct line to care that fits their schedule.

  • Hotels and hospitality: Supporting staff health helps reduce sick days and maintain guest satisfaction.

  • Retail shops: Affordable healthcare builds loyalty and retention among hourly employees.
     

These industries often operate with tight margins and high physical demands. By offering DPC, employers demonstrate that they care about their people—and that commitment pays off in retention, morale, and reliability.

Healthier Teams, Happier Workplaces

Employee health isn’t just about physical wellbeing. It impacts every part of your business—from customer service to productivity. When people have access to convenient, compassionate care, they’re more likely to stay healthy, less likely to call in sick, and more invested in their work.

​

At Mainely Primary Care, we see firsthand how small changes in healthcare access can lead to major improvements in employee engagement. By helping your team stay healthy, you’re investing in a stronger business and a stronger community.
