Four to twelve techs, a front-desk person, and a renewal quote that went up again. A membership gives every tech a doctor for less than one brake job a month, and a dentist for less than one tire sale a year. A direct primary care membership costs $135 a month per person on Long Island and a dental membership $325 a year, with no eligibility rules, so you can cover full-timers, part-timers and 1099s alike. It's the benefit auto repair shops actually ask about: a doctor they can see today without losing a day's pay.
8 employees × $135/mo for a Long Island doctor membership (Huntington Direct Primary Care, unlimited visits), plus $2,600 once a year for dental at $325 each. That's $15,560 for the year for a doctor and a dentist for everyone, versus roughly $63,072 a year in employer premiums alone for single coverage on a group plan.

Itemized per person. You pay what each person actually picked. Start or stop any month.
They don't go because it costs $155 and takes half a day. When it's free and the doctor texts back, they go. Blood pressure checks and a sprained wrist looked at the same day are what this is for.
Yes. Memberships are month to month with no hours requirement. Add people for the season and remove them after.
Yes. Unlike group insurance, there are no classification rules on who you can sponsor. Ask your accountant how to book it.
No. It's a membership with a local practice for primary care and dental. Most owners pair it with a catastrophic plan or offer it as the benefit they can afford this year.
