Do I need a major medical policy?
Yes, patients are required to carry a major medical plan with their PrimaCare Direct membership. PrimaCare direct covers 90% of medical needs, but it will not cover 100% of medical needs. For the rare occasions that you need to visit a hospital or receive specialty care, you can pair your PrimaCare Direct membership with your own health insurance plan. The chart below shows examples of plan usage. Call 612-444-6600 if you have any questions.
