HealthSprings Direct

Membership at HealthSprings Direct runs $99 per month for patients ages 2 through 64, and $120 per month for patients 65 and older. A one-time enrollment fee of $150 applies per family unit. The practice does not require long-term contracts. Members who pay annually receive a 5% discount, and those who pay for six months upfront receive 3% off.

Membership covers up to 20 office visits per year, same-day and next-day access for acute needs, telemedicine visits, and secure patient portal messaging. The practice also dispenses medications at wholesale cost and runs several in-office lab tests, including blood glucose, urinalysis, urine pregnancy, H. pylori, and hidden blood in stool, at no additional charge. Additional lab testing runs at cost, starting at $3 per test.

HealthSprings Direct does not bill insurance for membership fees. The practice recommends pairing a DPC membership with a high-deductible health plan or a health share plan for specialist and hospital coverage. HMO plans, TRICARE PRIME, Kaiser, and Medicare Advantage plans do not pair well with DPC membership.

Current members pay $399 for the program. Non-members pay $799. This program runs separately from the standard DPC membership.

Yes. HealthSprings Direct performs cardiopulmonary exercise testing, or CPET, using a cycle ergometer and proprietary MET-TEST software. This non-invasive test measures heart and lung function in real time during exercise and captures oxygen use, carbon dioxide output, breathing patterns, and EKG data simultaneously.

New patients can enroll through the practice website or by calling the office directly. A one-time enrollment fee of $150 per family unit applies at sign-up. The practice does not require long-term contracts, so membership continues month to month unless you choose a discounted annual or six-month payment option.
