Method and system for managing a membership based health care program not utilizing primary care insurance

摘要

A system and method for managing an electronically-implemented membership based health care program without utilizing primary care medical insurance includes providing a health clinic having doctors to provide medical services to its members. An electronic database which may be connected to computer network manages member records, including a purchase arrangement by which services may be obtained. Enrolled members in good payment standing may receive primary care medical services from the clinic, including unlimited office visits. Clinic employees receive the medical services as an employee benefit. The clinic may be owned by another company not related to health care and having employees who also receive the medical services, the company paying the clinic according to the purchase arrangement. Neither the clinic nor its members utilize primary care insurance. The method results in dramatically decreased healthcare costs and higher effective employee compensation.
