Thrive Primary Care

Thrive Primary Care operates on a Direct Primary Care model. Members pay a flat monthly or annual fee that covers unlimited physician visits with no copays. The practice does not bill insurance for physician visits, with the exception of Medicare and Tricare as required by law. HSA funds cover the membership fee.
