Primary Care Service Options for Business Owners in Detroit

Primary Care Service Options for Business Owners in Detroit

Often times, business owners start their own company and qualify for Medicaid initially. If you earn less than $17,000 annually, you automatically qualify for Medicaid. However, once your business grows and you earn over and above that threshold, you are often disqualified from Medicaid. There may be some subsidies available, but business owner often find themselves making too much money to qualify for Medicaid, but not enough to afford private insurance.

In this conversation between Dr. Paul Thomas of Plum Health DPC and Lawrence Jackson of TechTown Detroit, we discuss the possible options for business owners and other members of the community who find themselves in this position.

What is Direct Primary Care?

We deliver primary care services directly to our patients. Our patients pay a membership fee that starts at $10 per month for kids and $49 per month for adults. This enables us to spend a lot of time with our patients and help them navigate to the highest quality and lowest cost health care resources available. It means having a family doctor who knows you well, who you can call, text, or email, and who can guide you to the healthcare resources that you need.
