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!

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
