The Covid-19 pandemic is going to have long lasting effects in the social realm (i.e social distancing), but also the economic realm. A recent article on The Hill mentioned that insurers will likely be increasing premiums more next year, due to instability of the market, but also delayed procedures, wellness visits etc…all happening next year instead of this year.

Nova Direct Primary Care is a way for employers to decrease their overall health spending, claims, and premiums every year. For a fixed cost their employee can have access to Primary Care Physicians virtually 24/7. Direct Primary Care is known to decrease costs, decrease employee absenteeism, all while providing evidence based primary care services. Some of the best data associated with this is from the John Locke Foundation in North Carolina.
