Benefits of membership

The Primary Healthcare Plan is designed to make healthcare affordable for individuals who need urgent care, have a high deductible on their insurance plan, or have no health insurance. Individuals with chronic medical conditions that need monitoring or ongoing prescriptions will benefit tremendously by being a member of the Primary Healthcare Plan.

While Primary Healthcare Plan is not insurance nor does it meet requirements for the Affordable Healthcare Act, it connects you to a growing BULLDOG URGENT CARE medical practice and covers the services you need most. You get direct access to affordable primary and urgent care services, open late, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

By joining the Primary Healthcare Plan, you will be taking a proactive stance to promote your own health and well-being.  You will not be turned away from membership due to a preexisting condition, due to what type of insurance you carry, or if you have insurance.
