Direct Primary Care · Manhattan, KS

Medicine, reimagined.

One low monthly fee. No copays, no deductibles, no surprise bills. Just unhurried time with a doctor who actually knows you, whenever you need it.

We're here for you. All the time.

A better kind of family medicine, without the hoops.

BlueFire Med is a direct primary care practice. You pay a low monthly membership and never pay for a visit again. We spend more time with you, see you the same day, and skip the insurance red tape entirely. Our patients love this model. We think you will too.

Fewer patients, more time

We cap our practice at around 600 patients per physician, a fraction of the typical 2,000 to 4,000. That means same-day scheduling, longer appointments, and a doctor who remembers your story.

Insurance-free, hassle-free

We don't bill insurance, and most of our patients actually save money. Keep your high-deductible plan for the big stuff, and let BlueFire handle the everyday care for one predictable fee.

Real prices, no surprises

You'll always know what you pay.

With insurance, you often don't find out the price until the surprise bill shows up weeks later. With BlueFire, labs and medications cost pennies on the dollar, and your price is confirmed with you up front. Every time.

BlueFire: confirmed with you up frontInsurance: unknown until weeks later

Labs and medications are ordered in consultation with your BlueFire provider when there's a medical indication. This page shows what membership pricing looks like, not an order form.

Prices vary with wholesale drug cost from week to week, and for medications like antibiotics with the course length your diagnosis calls for (a course might be 5, 7, or 10 days). The prices posted here give you a general idea of how BlueFire does things differently; they aren't a quote. Drug pricing current as of July 27, 2026.

Why are these prices possible? BlueFire is part of a group purchasing organization (GPO) and guarantees payment to the lab. That streamlines everything on the lab's side, and in return we earn pricing that a patient walking into LabCorp or Quest on their own can't get. We use LabCorp as our primary lab, with Quest for a few specific tests. Many lab tests also come in more than one version, and which one we run depends on the clinical indication, so posted lab prices are representative. Lab pricing is adjusted annually, not weekly.

For small business owners

Are you covering your team's health benefits?

Most small businesses overpay for health coverage their employees barely use. BlueFire memberships give your team same-day doctor access, wholesale prescriptions, and zero copays, all for a flat monthly fee that's a fraction of what you're spending now. Pair it with a high-deductible plan and most employers save 50% or more.

Predictable costs, no renewal surprises

One flat per-employee rate: no annual premium hikes, no claims volatility, no broker negotiations. You know exactly what benefits cost, every month.

Care your team will actually use

Same-day appointments, direct phone access, and no copay means employees get care early instead of waiting until it's urgent. Fewer sick days, less lost productivity.

Common questions

What to know about direct care.

What is direct primary care?
Direct primary care (DPC) is a membership model. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, you pay one low monthly fee that covers your primary care. It lets us keep our patient panel small, spend more time with you, and skip the insurance paperwork that slows everything down.
Is this health insurance?
No. BlueFire is not insurance, and it's not a replacement for it. We recommend keeping a high-deductible or catastrophic plan for hospitalizations, surgeries, and major emergencies. BlueFire handles your everyday and ongoing care, and most members end up saving money overall.
What's included in my membership?
Unlimited office visits with no copay, direct access to your provider by phone, text, and email, same-day and next-day scheduling, longer appointments, deeply discounted labs and imaging, wholesale-priced medications, and many in-office procedures at no extra cost.
What about labs, imaging, and medications?
Because we don't work through insurance, we pass wholesale and negotiated pricing straight to you. Many common labs and medications cost a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere, and we'll always tell you the price up front.
Can I use my HSA?
Many members pair an HSA with BlueFire to cover labs, imaging, and prescriptions. We're happy to help you find the combination of membership and coverage that saves you the most.
What if I need a specialist or the hospital?
We coordinate your care. If you need a specialist, imaging, or hospital care, we help guide and refer you, and we stay involved so nothing falls through the cracks. Your insurance covers those larger services as usual.
How do I become a patient?
Enrollment takes just a few minutes online, or call or text us at 785-539-9218 and we'll get you set up. We're gladly accepting new patients.
