Opening the benefits renewal letter should not feel like bracing for bad news. But for a lot of Montana small businesses, it does.

Our new post on the CoreMed Insights blog looks at direct primary care: what it is, how it works, and why more employers are giving it a serious look. The short version? One flat monthly membership, a care team that knows your name, and fewer surprises. It is not insurance, and it is not complicated. That is kind of the point.

Health benefits keep getting harder for small businesses to afford. SHRM reports that family coverage premiums rose 52 percent over the past decade, and plenty of Montana owners feel that squeeze every renewal season.

More employers are looking at a simpler option: direct primary care. One flat monthly membership, real time with a provider who knows your name, and predictable costs for everyday care. It is not insurance, but it can be a strong front door to care for your team.

We broke down what small businesses should know on the CoreMed Insights blog. Read it at coremedhealth.com.

Big news for anyone with a health savings account: starting in 2026, HSA dollars can pay for direct primary care memberships. That means pretax money for the everyday care your family actually uses, with a doctor who knows your name.

We broke down what changed, the fine print, and what it means for Montana families and small businesses. Read the full post on our blog at coremedhealth.com.

A quick note: a membership is not insurance, and this is general information, not medical or financial advice.

Big change for 2026: you can now use health savings account (HSA) dollars to pay for direct primary care.

For years, the tax rules kept HSAs and membership-based primary care apart. As of January 1, that conflict is gone. There are monthly limits and some fine print worth knowing, and we broke it all down in plain English on the blog.

What changed, what qualifies, and what it could mean for Montana families and small businesses. Read the full story on our blog at coremedhealth.com.

There is real value in a doctor who already knows your story.

New research in The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that patients who consistently see the same primary care physician tend to have fewer hospital stays, fewer ER visits, and lower healthcare costs overall.

It makes sense. A doctor who knows your baseline can spot changes early, skip the repeat tests, and answer the question you might not ask a stranger.

That kind of relationship is exactly what we built CoreMed around: smaller patient panels, longer visits, and a care team you can actually reach, right here in Montana.

Nearly half of Montanans live outside metro areas, and most of our counties do not have enough primary care providers to go around. For a lot of families, seeing a doctor means a long drive and a day off work.

We just published a new post about what rural care access really looks like in Montana, and the practical things families can do about it: telehealth, planning ahead, and having a care team that actually knows your name.

The renewal letter is coming, and this year it stings a little more. New analysis from Peterson-KFF shows small-group health rates are set to rise about 11% in 2026, and roughly 1 in 10 insurers is asking for 20% or more.

If you run a small business in Montana, that number lands on your desk. But it is not your only option. More local businesses are pairing a simple monthly membership for everyday care with a setup that actually fits their budget.

New on the CoreMed Insights blog: what is driving the increases, and the questions worth asking before you sign next year's paperwork. Read it at coremedhealth.com.

Health costs are climbing again in 2026, and Montana small businesses are feeling it first.

More owners are looking at direct primary care: one flat monthly membership that gives their team a real local doctor with time for them, and costs they can actually plan around. And as of this year, those fees can be paid with HSA and FSA dollars.

It is not insurance, and it is not right for every business. But for a lot of Montana employers, it is a simpler, more human way to take care of the people who keep the place running.

More Flathead Valley doctors are thinking about going out on their own — and we get the appeal.

Direct primary care means longer visits, real relationships with patients, and a lot less paperwork. For most physicians, the hard part was never the medicine. It's the empty schedule at the very start.

So we wrote it all down: a step-by-step guide to starting your own DPC practice. The model, the pricing, the legal setup, and how to actually fill your panel from day one.

If you've ever even thought about making the leap, it's worth a read. The full guide is on our blog at coremedhealth.com — or just reach out anytime at [email protected]. We'd love to help. 👉 https://www.coremedhealth.com/post/dpc-starter-guide
