Dr. Adam Wheeler from Big Tree Medical shares an important truth about primary care: Nurse practitioners are essential. 👩⚕️👨⚕️ With a significant shortage of doctors—especially in Missouri, where we need over 1,000 new primary care providers each year—nurse practitioners fill a critical gap, often delivering care that’s even better on average than traditional doctor-led models. At Big Tree Medical, we proudly support a nurse practitioner-led approach, giving each patient a dedicated primary care provider. We believe this model is the future of accessible health care! #PrimaryCare #HealthcareShortage #NursePractitioners #Healthcare

How Big Tree Medical Benefits Employees Immediate Access to Care When an employee is unwell, they need to see their healthcare provider immediately—not months down the road for a routine visit, and certainly not after hours of waiting at urgent care to see someone they’ve never met. DPC is structured with the employee in mind, ensuring same-day access whenever they need it. Our system and processes are deliberately designed for flexibility and responsiveness, unlike many traditional healthcare providers that must prioritize packed schedules to meet insurance requirements, leaving little room for real-time needs. Health First, Costs Second Employees shouldn’t have to worry about the cost of seeing their provider or fret over deductibles when they’re focused on getting better. DPC removes those barriers, enabling employees to prioritize their health without the stress of financial hurdles. Ongoing Provider Access For quick questions, medication adjustments, or health concerns that come up, employees have the option for secure messaging with their provider. This ongoing access makes it easy to address minor issues without a full appointment, supporting proactive and continuous care. Cost-Effective Medications Part of our commitment to a seamless healthcare experience means continuously finding ways to save on costs. This includes offering included or low-cost medication options, creating a straightforward, affordable healthcare journey for employees. Here’s a real-world example that shows the difference in experience. #ChangeIsPossible #BigTreeMedical #DirectPrimaryCare #HealthcareSolutions #HealthCareAsItShouldBe

Why is healthcare so expensive ? We all have that one crazy health care expense story—the infamous $600 band-aid, the $200 Tylenol, or the $600 urgent care visit. I get it. In fact, during the first six months of my membership with Big Tree Medical, my new favorite hobby became comparing what I would pay through insurance to what I would pay with my DPC membership. What used to be a $500 medication for 90 days? Now it’s $25. Another that was $200? Down to $22 with Big Tree. We all know health care doesn’t really cost that much, so why are we paying through the nose? It comes down to two things: incentives and decision-making power. The people deciding what health care costs—insurance companies, brokers, PBMs—they’re all incentivized to see costs go up. The bigger the pie, the bigger their slice. And they hold most of the decision-making power. So, if you’re frustrated with how this is playing out for you and your employees, the best way to get out of this cycle is to keep part of your health care budget outside the insurance system altogether. Now, this isn’t about pointing fingers. The leaders and companies in this space are just playing by the rules of the game we’ve collectively created. But let’s be honest—health care shouldn’t be run like a business. And yet, here we are. With Direct Primary Care through Big Tree Medical, you’re investing in a system that prioritizes health outcomes rather than profits. By moving away from insurance dependency, you can ensure that your employees receive the quality care they deserve without the burdens of exorbitant fees. Stay tuned this week as I dive into how this innovative approach can transform your company’s health care strategy and enhance the well-being of your team. #BigTreeMedical #DirectPrimaryCare #HealthcareSolutions #HealthCareAsItShouldBe

Brainstorming and dreaming with a friend the other day.... What if we could build a healthcare experience that would delight the patient ? Delight (verb) please (someone) greatly Not a word one usually associates with health care... or higher education. But what if we could?

It’s that time again—open enrollment season. And if you’re like most employers, you’re trying to figure out how to make your team accept another round of rising premiums, higher deductibles, and shrinking access to health care. Sound familiar? I’ve been there. One of the worst parts of being in the C-suite is standing in front of employees, delivering the “Well, if you put enough in your HSA, you’ll be fine” speech— all while they’re thinking, “I can’t even afford to save, let alone get sick.” None of us want to be that employer, but the options seem bleak, right? And let’s be real: if giants like Amazon,  Berkshire Hathaway, and JP Morgan Chase couldn’t change the system, how can we? Here’s the thing—you don’t have to fix the whole system. What you need is a practical, effective solution for today. That’s where Direct Primary Care (DPC) comes in. It’s a simple, powerful way to cut costs and give your employees health care that actually works for them. This frustration is what pushed me to learn more about how health care really works and led me to Big Tree Medical. Over the next few weeks, I’ll break down how DPC fits into today’s health care landscape and how it can transform your company’s approach to employee health. #ChangeIsPossible #BigTreeMedical #DirectPrimaryCare #HealthcareSolutions #HealthCareAsItShouldBe
