Direct Primary Care in Kansas typically costs between $30 and $100 per month for most adults and children, depending on your age and the practice you join. At Integrity Medicine specifically, monthly rates run from $30 for children up to $100 for adults 65 and older, with no enrollment fee and no long-term contract.
Here is what those fees actually cover, what they leave out, and how to run the honest math for your household before deciding whether it makes sense.
Across the country, most Direct Primary Care memberships fall roughly between $50 and $100 per month for adults and $20 to $50 for children, though pricing varies by practice, patient age, location, and what the membership includes. Kansas practices tend to land in that same range.
A few variables drive the differences you will see from one Kansas clinic to another.
Age-based tiers. Most Direct Primary Care practices charge less for children and more for older adults, on the logic that healthcare utilization tends to increase with age. A healthy 30-year-old costs less to serve than a 70-year-old managing several chronic conditions.
Geography. Practices in larger metros like Kansas City and Wichita may price differently than practices in smaller communities. Rural overhead tends to be lower, and some practices pass that along.
What is included. A practice that bundles discounted medications, labs, and a broad list of in-office procedures is not directly comparable to one that only covers office visits. Two practices charging the same monthly fee can deliver very different value.
Panel size. Smaller patient panels require slightly higher fees because fewer members cover the physician's costs. But smaller panels are also what makes the access, the relationship, and the real time per patient actually possible. It is a tradeoff worth understanding before you compare prices in isolation.
At Integrity Medicine, pricing is age-based, transparent, and posted on our pricing page before you ever walk in the door. Here is the current individual membership structure:
The corporate subscription for employers is $60 per month per adult. If you are a Kansas business owner exploring this for your team, our employer Direct Primary Care page covers how that model works in detail.
For context, most Direct Primary Care practices nationally charge between $50 and $100 per month for individual adults, which puts Integrity Medicine at or below the typical range for the services included.
Many Direct Primary Care practices charge a one-time enrollment fee, often in the $50 to $200 range. At Integrity Medicine, there is no enrollment fee.
Pay annually and you get one month free. That is our way of saying thank you if you are willing to bet on us. If you are over 100 years old, the rate is $1 per month. We figure you have earned it.
If you decide this is not the right fit, give 30 days notice and you are done. No penalty, no hassle.
The monthly fee at Integrity Medicine is not a door charge. It covers a substantial range of services with no additional billing per item.
Unlimited office visits. Sick visits, preventive care, wellness visits, annual physicals, and chronic disease management for conditions including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, COPD, asthma, and thyroid disease. No copay per visit.
Direct physician access. Patients reach their physician via email for non-urgent matters like appointments, refills, and general questions, and via phone or text for urgent questions or symptom concerns. Every communication goes directly to your doctor. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 or go directly to the emergency room.
30+ in-office services and procedures, all included. EKGs, pulmonary function testing, allergy testing, joint injections, trigger point injections, skin biopsies and lesion removal, laceration repair, abscess drainage, foreign body removal, well-woman exams, Pap smears, school and sports physicals, DOT physicals, and more. No extra per-service billing.
Discounted medications through our wholesale pharmacy. Medications are often available at a fraction of standard retail cost, with many common medications priced dramatically lower than traditional pharmacies. For patients on regular maintenance medications, the savings alone can frequently offset most of the monthly membership fee before you ever count a single office visit.
Discounted labs and radiology. Routine blood work, lab panels, and imaging are available at significantly reduced rates through wholesale pricing and negotiated partnerships.
Health Savings Account (HSA) compatibility for Direct Primary Care has been the subject of recent legislative proposals. While some changes may expand eligibility in the future, current rules can be complex. Check with your plan administrator or a tax professional to understand how your HSA may apply to your situation before assuming eligibility.
Being transparent means being honest about the edges.
Direct Primary Care is primary care, not comprehensive insurance. The membership does not cover hospitalizations, emergency room care, surgeries, specialist visits, or advanced imaging. Over 90 percent of Integrity Medicine members carry a medical sharing plan or high-deductible health plan alongside their membership to handle those larger, less frequent expenses.
That combination, a Direct Primary Care membership for day-to-day care plus a leaner major medical plan for the unexpected, is how most members structure their healthcare and how they typically end up spending less overall.
Abstract comparisons are not very useful. Let's work through actual numbers for a Kansas family.
Consider two parents in their mid-30s and two school-age children in south-central Kansas. At Integrity Medicine, their combined monthly membership is $60 + $60 + $30 + $30, which comes to $180 per month or $2,160 per year. That covers unlimited visits for all four family members, school and sports physicals for both kids, direct physician access, and wholesale pricing on medications and labs. No copays. No surprise bills.
Now consider what that same family typically spends in a traditional insurance-based year. A primary care copay under a standard insurance plan typically runs $20 to $50 per visit. A family of four using primary care regularly throughout the year can accumulate a meaningful number of visits. At $30 per copay, those costs add up quickly, and that is on top of the insurance premium.
Add the urgent care trips. Urgent care visits often cost between $150 and $300 out of pocket, depending on location and services provided. Families that use urgent care two or three times a year because they cannot get a timely appointment with their regular physician spend several hundred dollars before anything else is counted.
Then look at the medications. If one parent takes a blood pressure medication that retails for $80 per month, Integrity Medicine's wholesale pricing brings that cost down significantly. Multiply that kind of savings across a year and the household math starts to look very different.
When you run the full number honestly, the Direct Primary Care membership often costs less in total annual primary care spending than a family's combined copays, urgent care visits, and out-of-pocket medication costs under a traditional plan. For a deeper side-by-side breakdown of how the two models compare on cost, access, and coverage, our Direct Primary Care vs. traditional insurance-based care in Kansas comparison covers every angle.
And that is before counting what you may save on insurance premiums. In many cases, high-deductible plans come with lower monthly premiums than more traditional plans. Pairing a lower-premium plan with a Direct Primary Care membership can produce meaningful savings depending on your situation. The key is looking at total annual healthcare spend, not just comparing monthly fees in isolation.
Before you commit to any Direct Primary Care membership in Kansas, these five questions will tell you most of what you need to know.
What in-office procedures are included? A practice that includes EKGs, joint injections, laceration repair, and minor surgery delivers substantially more value than one covering only routine visits. At Integrity Medicine, the full list of 30+ included procedures is posted on our pricing page before you ever walk in.
How are medications handled? Some practices have their own wholesale pharmacy and pass those savings directly to members. Others simply point patients toward retail pharmacy programs. Integrity Medicine operates its own wholesale generic pharmacy, making medications available at a significant discount compared to traditional pharmacy pricing.
What does lab pricing look like? Wholesale lab access is one of the clearest concrete savings in Direct Primary Care. At Integrity Medicine, routine labs are available through wholesale pricing partnerships at a fraction of retail rates.
Is there an enrollment fee? Many practices charge a one-time fee upfront. Integrity Medicine charges no enrollment fee.
What are the cancellation terms? At Integrity Medicine, give 30 days notice and you are done. No penalty, no long-term obligation.

Direct Primary Care delivers its clearest financial and practical value for specific types of Kansas households.
Families with children. Kids get sick, frequently. Direct Primary Care eliminates the per-visit cost and the wait, so parents actually bring their kids in rather than managing symptoms at home because the copay or a three-week delay makes the visit feel not worth it.
Adults managing chronic conditions. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, thyroid disease, COPD, asthma. These require regular check-ins, medication management, and ongoing monitoring. Unlimited visits and direct physician access are genuinely valuable for this group, and the wholesale medication savings can be substantial.
Self-employed Kansans and small business owners. Paying your own premiums makes the math particularly favorable. A high-deductible plan paired with a Direct Primary Care membership often costs significantly less than a richer traditional plan while delivering better day-to-day primary care. If you are considering this for your employees rather than just yourself, our employer Direct Primary Care page explains how the corporate membership model works.
Uninsured or underinsured families. Direct Primary Care is not insurance, but a flat monthly fee that covers unlimited primary care visits and discounted medications is a meaningful option for families who currently have no consistent primary care relationship. Our page on primary care without insurance in Newton and Andover covers how this works in practice.
People frustrated with the traditional model. Three-week waits. Ten-minute appointments. Voicemail when you have a question. The practical value of Direct Primary Care for this group goes well beyond dollars.
Direct Primary Care is a less compelling fit if you are genuinely healthy, rarely use primary care beyond one annual physical, and already have low copays and good access under a current plan. If that describes your household, Direct Primary Care probably is not the right fit right now. The model is built for people who actually use primary care, and it works best when it is a genuine match.
The best starting point is a free meet-and-greet. Come in, meet the physician, see the clinic, and ask your specific questions before making any commitment. Integrity Medicine has two locations in south-central Kansas, Newton and Andover, and both are currently accepting new members.
If you want to understand how the model works before you visit, our guide on how Direct Primary Care works in Kansas covers the full picture. And if you are weighing whether it makes sense for your specific situation, our post on whether Direct Primary Care is worth it for Kansas families works through the tradeoffs honestly.
Come meet us. No pressure, no commitment, just a conversation with a physician who has enough time to have one.

Is Direct Primary Care worth it if I already have insurance?
Often yes, especially if you have a high-deductible plan, manage a chronic condition, or have children who need care regularly. The combination of a Direct Primary Care membership plus a leaner high-deductible health plan frequently costs less in total annual spending than a richer traditional plan alone, while delivering better day-to-day primary care access.
Can I use my HSA with a Direct Primary Care membership?

Does Direct Primary Care replace health insurance?
No. Direct Primary Care covers primary care services but does not replace coverage for hospitalizations, surgeries, emergency room care, specialist visits, or major medical events. Most Integrity Medicine members pair their membership with a high-deductible health plan or medical sharing plan for those larger expenses.
What happens if I want to cancel my Integrity Medicine membership?
Give 30 days notice and you are done. No penalty, no hassle, no long-term obligation. If this is not the best healthcare decision you have made, we make it simple to leave.
