Michigan school districts offer insurance-free care to beat rising health costs
The clinics give employees free or low-cost care and medications as employer health costs are projected to rise 9.5% next year, Aon said.
- Three Michigan school districts, including Corunna, Lansing, and Van Buren, offer free primary care through Plum Health clinics to reduce healthcare costs for employees and their families.
- Corunna pays $90 monthly per employee for access to a two-day-a-week clinic offering longer appointments, no copays or deductibles, and free medications valued around $550 per patient visit.
- Direct primary care clinics like Plum Health provide same-day appointments and longer visits, contrasting with traditional doctors who often have week-long appointment waits.
- The districts view these clinics as a recruitment and retention benefit amid rising healthcare costs and challenges in primary care access in Michigan.
