The Provider Shortage Crisis in New Mexico: The Hidden Costs Beyond Your Health Plan 🚨
Did you know:
🕒 8+ weeks is the average wait time to establish care with a primary care provider in New Mexico?
👩⚕️ Once you’re finally seen, the visit might last only 15 minutes due to overloaded doctors.
🩺 This rushed care often leads to misdiagnoses of chronic or serious conditions.
This isn't just about increasing health plan costs 💸—the human cost is staggering. When conditions are missed or misdiagnosed, it can lead to:
❗ Prolonged suffering
❗ More severe health complications
❗ Lost productivity and missed workdays
But there’s a solution: Direct Primary Care (DPC) 🌟.
With DPC, patients get same- or next-day appointments, longer doctor visits, and the personalized care they need to prevent misdiagnoses. This leads to better outcomes for employees and lower costs for employers over time.
Plus, healthcare is local 🌍, and building a plan like this improves your team's care and helps you win in the war for talent 🎯.
Offering a healthcare plan that eliminates copays, reduces deductibles, and gives employees better access to care can make all the difference in attracting and retaining top talent. 💼
It's time to shift the focus from just reducing health plan expenses to improving the quality of care your team receives. Because healthier employees mean a healthier workplace—and a healthier bottom line. 💡
