What is Employee Concierge Primary Care?

Employee Concierge Primary Care, also known as Direct Primary Care (DPC), is a membership-based healthcare model tailored for businesses to provide their teams with enhanced access to primary care services. Since opening our doors in 2012, Temecula Medical Group has pioneered this approach in the region, delivering personalized, preventive-focused care that goes beyond the limitations of traditional employer-sponsored plans. It operates on a flat monthly fee structure—granting unlimited primary care access without the typical insurance hurdles.

This model empowers employers to offer a benefit that prioritizes employee well-being through 24/7 direct provider communication, same/next-day appointments, and extended consultations. It complements existing group insurance for emergencies, hospitalizations, or specialist needs, while emphasizing proactive health management to minimize disruptions. Fostering stronger provider-employee relationships, it addresses common workplace health challenges, such as chronic conditions or minor illnesses, helping teams stay resilient and focused. For details on how it integrates with your business, explore our Employer Healthcare Services page.

Is Employee Concierge Primary Care Health Insurance?

No, Employee Concierge Primary Care is not a substitute for comprehensive health insurance. It exclusively covers primary care essentials—unlimited visits, preventive exams, and routine treatments—while relying on your group insurance for advanced needs like ER care or specialists. This hybrid approach optimizes costs by handling everyday health proactively, potentially lowering claims and premiums. Since 2012, we've refined this integration to ensure seamless coordination, making it a reliable supplement to employer plans. To maximize financial efficiency, review the Tax Benefits for Members, including deductions and reimbursements that amplify its value.
