Atlas Direct helps households handle big, unpredictable medical bills—so your Direct Primary Care can stay simple, personal, and affordable.
If your household uses Direct Primary Care (DPC)—or plans to—Atlas Direct adds fixed cash benefits for some the big stuff DPC doesn’t cover, like hospital stays, ER visits, and ambulance rides.
Atlas Direct costs substantially less than comprehensive major medical health insurance because it excludes many medical services and products, including infertility treatments, cosmetic surgery, and substance abuse treatments.
We also exclude prescription drugs, basic imaging, and lab work because many DPC patients can access those items at wholesale prices through their Direct Primary Care doctors.
Atlas Direct differs from comprehensive major medical plans in several additional ways:
Because Atlas Direct doesn’t attempt to cover everything, it costs much less than traditional major medical plans that aim for comprehensive coverage.
The table below shows Atlas Direct’s monthly premiums per covered person. The cost to cover multiple family members is simply the sum of their respective individual monthly premium amounts.
Premiums may vary by state, are based on attained age (age at last birthday), and will increase when you move into the next-higher age range. Atlas Direct is not available in all states. Please click here to get a custom quote and see whether Atlas Direct is available in your state.

* Benefit amount differs for Kansas residents. See the Atlas Direct brochure for state-specific variations and information on eligibility, limitations and exclusions.
