Door County Medical Center (DCMC) offers a comprehensive Personal Health Team program designed to improve access to healthcare for employees in the region. This program is a primary care model where employers prepay for employee office visits at DCMC’s primary care facilities. This initiative eliminates the need for copayments when employees seek medical care, ensuring that they can visit their primary care providers for routine and preventive health care without additional out-of-pocket expenses. The program covers a variety of services, including family practice, internal medicine, OB/Gyn and pediatric care at DCMC locations in Algoma, Sturgeon Bay, Sister Bay and Washington Island. 

In addition to primary care services, DCMC provides occupational health services that support local businesses by offering workplace health screenings and injury management. These services help employers maintain a healthier workforce while preventing costly health care issues. Plus, the program extends to employees' dependents, ensuring that all members on the company's health insurance plan receive the same benefits. 

The Personal Health Team program fosters a closer relationship between employees and their health care providers. By encouraging early treatment for small issues, the program helps prevent larger health problems and promotes overall well-being. Employers benefit from the program by avoiding the traditional insurance claims process and reducing overall health care costs. DCMC also saves money by bypassing the expensive and time-consuming billing procedures typically associated with individual insurance claims. This collaboration creates a cost-effective solution that improves the quality of health care for employees while supporting the local economy.
