There are over thirty million uninsured patients in the US who do not have regular access to a primary care physician. There is a big disparity in how people with insurance receive their care verses uninsured. While the medical care for the insured population is mostly managed and coordinated by the primary care physician, uninsured patients are likely to ignore consulting a primary care doctor and visit any facility that they have access to in case of a health need. There is no proper mechanism to maintain medical records, track health history or provide follow-up care.
Employers without traditional health insurance benefits can take advantage of low-cost plans and offer comprehensive primary care health coverage to part-time or full-time staff to successfully recruit and retain high caliber employees.
