AUSTIN, TX, July 12, 2024 – Healthcare2U, a leader in offering Direct Primary Care (DPC), announced today the expansion of its membership from employer groups to individuals seeking an affordable option for being seen by a physician. For more than a decade, Healthcare2U has provided employer groups with a successful and affordable DPC option for their employees to remove the barriers associated with a traditional fee-for-service insurance model. Through the years, Healthcare2U has worked to bring its cost-saving solution to individuals as a product that could be offered regardless of employment status. With the launch of My Direct Primary Care plus (MyDPCplus), the company achieves just that. According to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, 26 million Americans remain uninsured. Another 23% of Americans remain underinsured. This means they have health insurance, but it does not meet their healthcare needs, making the costs of care a financial burden.
At a membership cost of less than $50 per month, Healthcare2U aims to provide healthcare to millions of individuals across the country who may otherwise not have direct access to board-certified family care physicians and internists.
“MyDPCplus was designed to empower individuals with unprecedented access to affordable high-quality healthcare,” said Andy Bonner, President and CEO of Healthcare2U. “Our commitment to transform the healthcare experience is rooted in our belief that everyone deserves access to exceptional healthcare, and MyDPCplus is a significant step toward making that a reality.”
The company lists the following as some of the benefits to members:
Healthcare2U believes MyDPCplus, exemplifies them as a leader in this space and places them at the forefront of affordable solutions to healthcare accessibility. With MyDPCplus, Healthcare2U hopes to solve healthcare disparities and inequalities. As a noninsurance product, pre-existing conditions, and underwriting do not affect a person’s ability to become a member. Healthcare2U’s direct primary care is available to anyone between two and 65 years of age. By offering individual memberships, Healthcare2U is on a mission to bridge the gap in primary care accessibility and provide a solution for those seeking direct and immediate access to primary care services.
Healthcare2U’s DPC model offers patient-centered care, allowing physicians to truly learn about their patients. Members benefit from longer consultation times with their physicians, fostering stronger doctor-patient relationships for more effective care management.
Individuals interested in joining Healthcare2U’s direct primary care program can easily enroll through the company’s website at www.mydpcplus.com.

AUSTIN, TX. February 22, 2024 – Healthcare2U, a nationwide direct primary care (DPC) membership service, is excited to announce its continued expansion to California. Health benefits advisors can now offer their employer groups an option to tackle the impact of higher minimum wages in the state.
President and CEO of Healthcare2U, Andy Bonner, is excited to be expanding its healthcare services in the California market. “We believe that our unique approach to direct primary care can make a significant impact on the health and well-being of Californians. Health benefits advisors are vital partners in this mission, and we look forward to working together to reshape the healthcare industry and minimize the effect increased minimum wages will have on an employer’s bottom line.”
In January this year, California passed a law that raised the minimum wage requirement for exempt employees to $16, with food services and healthcare employees receiving an increase of $18 to $23. The recent adjustments could affect an employer’s ability to provide a viable health plan for their employees as they will likely seek to cut costs to make up for the increased wages.
According to a recent study from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, employee-sponsored health coverage is the most common form of coverage in California. However, with the rise of inflation and minimum wage requirements, employer’s access to affordable health plans may affect the benefits they provide.
Healthcare2U recognizes the growing challenges and claims to provide a more favorable option. The company’s mission is to encourage individuals to prioritize their health without the fear of financial burdens. Unlike traditional health insurance, Healthcare2U’s DPC membership offers a streamlined and cost-effective approach to healthcare access through its no-claims process. This eases employer’s financial challenges and offers a hassle-free enrollment process for benefits advisors. Healthcare2U’s membership can be offered to employer groups with as little as two employees up to hundreds. As a result, it opens the door to healthcare equality for part-time and contracted workers.
The direct primary care business model is growing in popularity and experiencing an annual growth of 36% according to Medical Economics®. It serves as a solution to various healthcare challenges and breaks the barriers of health equity across diverse economic and social backgrounds. For individuals in rural areas, virtual healthcare services ensure access to essential healthcare. Healthcare2U plays a pivotal role in making healthcare affordable and accessible. Their nationwide network of board-certified family care physicians helps individuals monitor and manage acute chronic diseases, some of which include diabetes, GERD and Congestive Heart Failure. By providing unlimited access to primary care physicians, Healthcare2U makes it possible for individuals to receive regular medical care to help avoid long-term effects of potentially serious health conditions.
As California navigates through changes in labor costs, inflation, and health coverage, Healthcare2U is committed to being a reliable resource for employers and health benefits advisors. The company ensures to address the evolving landscape of healthcare, offering alternatives to ensure accessibility, affordability, and quality in healthcare services.
