Direct Primary Care: Personalized and Unrushed Health from Bellus Medical, Coming to Minot

by | Dec 16, 2025 | Blog

The Frustration with Status Quo Healthcare

Many families in Minot feel their healthcare is hasty, transactional, and expensive, often having to schedule weeks in advance for only a short appointment. This is not enough time to get all concerns addressed. Rising premiums make many people feel disconnected from their healthcare.

Bellus Medical is changing that with a new Direct Primary Care Membership. This membership brings back time, trust, and transparency into the patient and provider relationship.

What Exactly is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

Direct Primary Care is a membership model where patients pay a flat monthly fee for primary care. Members receive longer appointments and direct access to their provider and avoid insurance claims or unexpected bills.

This approach lets providers focus on patients rather than paperwork. The result is more time addressing the root of health concerns and helping patients make informed decisions about their wellness.

Important note: DPC is not insurance. We recommend that members keep insurance coverage for hospitalizations, specialist visits, or emergencies.

Is DPC Affordable? Understanding the Cost

Our Core Membership is $125 per month for single adults. This is often less than the cost of two copays and a few lab tests in traditional insurance settings.

Core Membership Provides:

• 5 problem focus/follow-up/sick visits

• additional visits $75

• Direct text and messaging access to your provider

• Extended appointment times and personalized care

• Flexible scheduling with evening and weekend availability

• Wholesale-cost labs for additional testing

• Low patient-to-provider ratio for individualized attention

• Annual Exam with comprehensive wellness labs (CBC, CMP, A1C, TSH, Lipid, Vit. D)

Elite Membership

Our Elite Membership is $150 per month for single adults.

• Everything is included in the Core Membership

• Unlimited visits

• Direct text and messaging access to your provider

These memberships are designed to keep care affordable and predictable while allowing families to use HSA and FSA funds for their primary care needs.

Disclaimers: HSA/FSA eligibility may vary by plan. Patients are responsible for confirming eligibility with their administrator.
