AT ORCHARD HEALTH, we believe that the traditional healthcare model involving the patient, insurance company, and doctor is a complicated and broken system. We simplify the process by removing the insurance middleman, whereby reducing the cost of care, increasing access to your doctor, and improving the healthcare experience. It’s called Direct Primary Care (DPC) and it’s awesome - a membership-based care model that provides you a direct, 24/7 connection with your provider for less than a cup of coffee a day.
