Healthcare Benefits That Actually Work for Your Business
Healthcare Benefits That Actually Work for Your Business
As a Boulder business owner, you know the challenge: healthcare costs keep rising while the quality of care your employees receive keeps declining. Insurance premiums increase 5-10% annually with a large jump expected this year, deductibles are higher than ever, and your team still waits weeks to see a doctor.
Base Camp Health offers a better way.
We partner with small and medium-sized Colorado businesses to provide Direct Primary Care (DPC) as a standalone or supplementary employee benefit—delivering exceptional primary care at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance, with better access and better outcomes.
The result? Healthier employees, lower healthcare costs, and a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining top talent.

DPC complements your current healthcare strategy
DPC complements your current healthcare strategy
Base Camp Health's DPC model integrates seamlessly with:
⛰ High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHP)
Pair DPC with an HDHP for catastrophic coverage. Employees get comprehensive primary care through DPC while maintaining protection for major medical events. Many businesses save 30-50% on total healthcare costs with this combination.
⛰ Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
DPC membership fees are often HSA-eligible (as of 2026 federal law changes), allowing employees to pay with pre-tax dollars. We provide documentation for HSA reimbursement.
⛰ Health Sharing Plans
DPC complements health sharing beautifully—employees get primary care through DPC and share costs for major medical needs.
⛰ Traditional Group Insurance
Even with existing group plans, adding DPC improves access, reduces claims, and often lowers renewal premiums due to decreased insurance utilization.
⛰ Wellness Programs
Enhance existing wellness initiatives with DPC's preventive focus and health coaching support.

How is DPC different from traditional insurance?
How is DPC different from traditional insurance?
DPC is not insurance — it is direct payment for primary care services. You pay a monthly membership fee, and employees receive unlimited primary care — accounting for the vast majority of a person's healthcare —with no copays or deductibles. Employees still need insurance (or health-share) for hospitalizations, specialists, and emergencies.
How does this save money if it's an additional cost?
How does this save money if it's an additional cost?
DPC reduces overall healthcare spending in several key ways:
⛰ Decreased insurance claims: Better primary care means fewer ER visits, urgent care trips, and specialist referrals
⛰ Lower insurance premiums: When paired with HDHP, premiums drop significantly compared to traditional insurance
⛰ Reduced absenteeism: Same-day and next-day access means employees don't miss work
⛰ Preventive focus: Early intervention prevents costly complications
⛰ Eliminated copays: Employees save on out-of-pocket costs
Most businesses find total healthcare spending decreases 20-40% by adding DPC.
Do employees have to drop their current doctor?
Do employees have to drop their current doctor?
No. DPC is a voluntary benefit. Employees can choose to enroll in Base Camp Health or continue with their current provider. We find that once employees experience the DPC model — same-day appointments, direct access, unhurried visits — most choose to make the switch.
What if an employee needs specialist care?
What if an employee needs specialist care?
As the employee's primary care provider, we coordinate all specialist referrals. We help employees find the right specialist, communicate directly with the specialist about the patient's care, and remain involved in coordinating treatment. Specialist costs are covered by the employee's insurance or health-share plan. Because Base Camp Health is independent of a hospital system or other health network, our referrals are always based on what is best for the patient.
