At Plum Health, we wholesale medications for our patients, and we sell these meds to our patients at-cost, saving our patients collectively tens of thousands of dollars annually - it's a great feeling to save our patients money. I love seeing @mcuban talk about removing PBMs!
Mark Cuban (@mcuban) does a great job explaining how middlemen pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) drive up the cost of prescription drugs for Americans, thus setting up the need for Congress to pass reforms Cuban: The US has the highest drug prices in the world "because we are the

If we want lower premiums in America, pay doctors to care—not insurers to process, delay, and deny. 🔥

And Mark—Maine is already proving the model. The state’s Mending plan automatically includes a DPC membership paid by the insurance plan itself, because actuaries know DPC lowers downstream costs enough to pay for itself. 📘

This is the formula: pull care out of the claims system, handle it directly, and the whole plan becomes more affordable—both for employers and families. 🔧

This group is self-funded, meaning they carry the risk. They rely on Plum Health to handle 90% of all medical needs outside the insurance claims pool—primary care, chronic care, urgent care, mental health, meds, labs, imaging, procedures—you name it. 🩺

We’ve seen this firsthand in Michigan. One self-funded employer with 700 employees saw 3,170 in-person visits, 5,448 virtual visits, and saved $1.2 million—$1,778 per employee—with a 2.16x ROI after partnering with Plum Health DPC. 📉

Now he’s asking how DPC can lower premiums rather than raise them—and honestly, he’s spot on. 🙌 When patients have a strong relationship with a DPC doc who actually knows them, sees them, and manages their care proactively, the cost savings for the health plan are massive. 💡

He’s at it again! @mcuban is tweeting about Direct Primary Care, and it’s bringing a wave of fresh attention to the space. Mark has already shaken up drug pricing with his @costplusdrugs —wholesaling medications with a tiny markup to fight sky-high pharmacy costs.. 1/many

Had a great time at a unique conference with Manifest at @bamfhealth in Grand Rapids! We're talking about fixing the entry points for primary care in this broken healthcare ecosystem. Direct Primary Care is a game changer for access, cost, and excellent care!

The power of being able to care for patients… Gotta hand it to my friend Dr. Paul Thomas @PlumHealthDPC to show the way. Starting with one clinic. This is how we can save a trillion in healthcare costs. Get primary care right first! Got that message @elonmusk ?

Today I removed a fish hook from one of my patient's fingers. We saved them $350 by preventing an urgent care visit. We also saved them a ton of time and stress. They called me at 8:30, and they arrived to our office at 10 am to have it removed. I love Direct Primary Care.

We can’t transform community health with tech if we’re not asking the hard questions. At #MedHealth2025, I joined an unconventional panel to ask: What’s really blocking innovation? Thanks to @techtowndetroit & the brilliant minds in the room. #HealthEquity #PlumHealth
