Maple Health DPC offers a modern alternative to traditional, insurance-based medicine—focused on access, quality and value.

Unlimited access to clinicians, high-quality care and transparent pricing. Are these the benefits of your current health care plan? 


Maple Health Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers an increasingly popular healthcare model that bypasses traditional health insurance and offers immediate access to quality clinicians at an affordable price. 


The cost of health care is on the rise. Increased cost of hospitalizations, medications, specialized services and administrative costs, along with the rise of chronic disease and fewer doctors, all contribute to premiums that are nearly impossible to afford. As the fastest-growing DPC practice in Ohio last year, many individuals, families and businesses are finding an affordable, and more personal, solution at Maple Health DPC. 


“We offer greater access to quality healthcare professionals, testing and treatments while providing cost clarity and efficiency,” Maple Health DPC Founder Richard Berry, MD, says. “Having insurance doesn’t make a doctor available when you need one. Patients are often waiting days, weeks, and even months to see a doctor. At Maple Health DPC, we typically get patients in the same or next day, and we are available out of hours for urgent matters by phone, video or text.”


All patient visits and treatments provided in Maple Health’s offices, including annual physicals, various testing, steroid shots, sutures and more, are 100% covered by a monthly membership cost for care. Care plans range from $70 to $120 per month and are available for individuals, families and businesses. Members enjoy unlimited access to priority care and personalized attention from one clinician who takes the time necessary to be your personal healthcare advocate. One consistent monthly cost for care allows members to budget healthcare expenses just like any other household payment. 


Direct primary care is a straightforward path to improved overall health for you, your family and employees. Clinicians at Maple Health DPC offer everything expected from a primary care physician for patients from infancy to old age. Just as with traditional care, clinicians consult specialists when necessary.


Maple Health DPC boasts an in-office pharmacy and lab as a convenience and savings. Between Dr. Berry, physician assistants Courtney Kozek, PA-C, and Jordan Smith, PA-C, Director of Business Operations, Vanessa Padilla and Administrative Assistant, Erin Jelenic, Maple Health provides continuity of care from the first phone call through visits, treatments and beyond. Even with the fast growth of the practice, Courtney Kozek and Jordan Smith are welcoming new patients and both offer years of experience in family medicine and more. 


The low patient-to-physician ratio at Maple Health allows for a more personal relationship, where caregiver and patient both thrive. 


Your first visit to Maple Health includes a complete history and physical examination, including bloodwork, a review of results, and a conversation about expectations and health goals. 

Capping their individual patient loads at 600 allows Maple Health DPC clinicians to build availability into their schedules and allot one full hour for annual physicals and thirty minutes for follow up appointments. In comparison, a typical primary care doctor sees 2,000 to 3,000 patients.


Business Membership

For businesses, Maple Health DPC is a low-cost way for companies to offer health care to employees and the cost for care is tax deductible. Employees’ increased access to health care results in a healthier workforce and a decrease in cost to employers. 


Based on current premiums, large companies can expect to save 10-12% with Maple Health DPC, while offering employees the benefits of increased access to care and a better overall healthcare experience. 


A Maple Health DPC membership also shields patients and employers from the high cost of tests like MRIs, for example, that can cost a company upwards of $6,000. Maple Health partners with Lumina, where patients are referred for MRIs, are seen much faster and are back to work sooner, at a cost of just $725. The insurance company is not absorbing those high costs, so overall rates are lower.


For the well insured, underinsured and the uninsured, a Maple Health DPC membership provides an equal patient experience, because everyone is treated individually. Maple Health’s ability to provide members with so many services in house at no additional cost saves everyone money and improves quality of care. 


Individual patient and corporate reviews indicate that Maple Health DPC members are overwhelmingly satisfied with this rapidly growing practice and the benefits and peace of mind it offers. 


As traditional healthcare costs continue to rise, Maple Health DPC is determined to represent health care at its best.
