Health Insurance
Simplified
Starting at $60 per month for children and teens—the Atlas Direct insurance program helps you pair flat-fee Direct Primary Care services (paid separately) with a limited-benefit insurance product designed specifically for DPC patients.
A Two-Part Alternative to a Broken System
Part 1: Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care, or DPC, is a payments model in which primary care doctors charge a flat monthly fee for virtually unlimited primary care services—including preventive care, chronic-condition management, and in-office procedures like stitches and splints.
Part 2: Atlas Direct
Atlas Direct insurance complements Direct Primary Care by providing predetermined cash benefits for eligible medical services that are not covered by Direct Primary Care, including hospitalization, ER visits, ambulance transportation, and childbirth. These cash benefits are paid directly to you, the insured, and you can use them for any purpose, not just medical bills.

As Easy as 1, 2, 3…
Here’s a simple example to show how Atlas Direct works for individuals who have coverage in place before trouble strikes.
Trouble strikes.
You suddenly experience a sharp pain in your side and call your Direct Primary Care physician, who diagnoses you with acute appendicitis.
You find yourself in the ER.
You’re taken by ambulance to the emergency room, where lab tests and diagnostic exams report back that you need surgery right away.
Atlas Direct helps with guaranteed cash benefits.
After an overnight stay in the hospital, you’re feeling better—but bills pile up quickly. Atlas Direct pays fixed cash benefits directly to you, which can help ease the financial stress of your illness—including paying for costs that may not be covered by other insurance, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
Example Benefit Amounts
Unlike comprehensive major-medical health plans that pay benefits directly to providers, Atlas Direct is a limited-benefit, fixed-indemnity insurance plan that pays fixed dollar amounts directly to you, the covered person.
Here are some examples:
- $1,500 per hospital admission
- $3,700 per day for hospital confinement
- $1,500 per ground or water ambulance transport
- $5,000 per vaginal delivery*
- $1,500 for emergency room (ER) care
- $9,500 for rotator cuff repair
- $18,500 for bilateral radical mastectomy
- $22,500 for laparoscopic prostatectomy

Curious about Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care, or DPC, is an innovative strategy for delivering high-quality primary care at an affordable price.
For a flat monthly fee, patients receive a wide range of primary care services—including routine checkups, preventive care, and many minor diagnostic and surgical procedures.
Most DPC practices also offer unlimited office visits, longer appointments, and direct access to the doctor by phone, text, or video.
Other Important Features
Payment Structure
Atlas Direct insurance is a fixed-indemnity plan, meaning it pays set, predetermined amounts directly to you, the insured, for covered medical services. This differs from major medical plans, which pay variable benefit amounts directly to healthcare providers.
Financial Responsibility
The fixed benefit amounts paid by our plan may not cover the full cost of care. You are responsible for paying providers for all charges. The insurer’s obligation is limited to paying you the fixed amounts specified in the Schedule of Benefits.
Coordination with Other Insurance
Because Atlas Direct is a noncoordinated benefit, it pays claims independently and in full, regardless of any other health insurance you may have. Thus, Atlas Direct will pay its predetermined fixed-indemnity amount for any covered event, irrespective of what any other insurance plan may decide to pay for the same event.
Under Age 65 Only
Atlas Direct is available exclusively to individuals under age 65. If you are over age 65 and seeking insurance, please contact a licensed insurance agent or visit medicare.gov.
Pre-Existing Conditions and Waiting Periods
Atlas Direct does not cover claims related to pre-existing conditions during the first 12 months of coverage. Accidental injuries are covered as soon as coverage begins. Illnesses and medical procedures have a 30-day waiting period, and childbirth has a 12-month waiting period.
The Direct Care Foundation
Atlas Direct insurance is sponsored by the Direct Care Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit that champions direct primary care. Membership in the Foundation is required for eligibility and can be obtained as part of the Atlas Direct enrollment process.
