What to know about direct 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Memberships range from $20 to $100 per month depending on age. For most people that's less than a phone or cable bill. There are no contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-visit charges. See the pricing page for every age band.

Yes. Children 0–18 are $20 per month (a parent or guardian must be enrolled as a member). We care for the whole family.

Yes. Employee memberships are $60 per month regardless of age. Pairing BlueFire memberships with a high-deductible plan can cut a small business's healthcare benefit costs significantly. Ask us about employer plans.

Members have 24/7 enhanced access to their doctor. For urgent needs after hours, call 785-539-9218 and leave a message for the on-call doctor, who will return your call.

For routine, non-urgent matters, email nurse@bluefiremed.com, or call or text 785-539-9218 during business hours. Texting is monitored during business hours only.

We cap our panel at roughly 600 patients per physician (a fraction of the typical 2,000 to 4,000), which is exactly what makes same-day scheduling, unhurried visits, and 24/7 access possible.

Yes. We dispense many common medications (mostly generics) at our cost, often for less than a typical copay, in consultation with your provider.

No. We are not accepting new patients seeking pharmaceutical treatment of chronic pain, and we refer those needs to dedicated pain treatment centers.

For most routine vaccines we recommend the local health department, which typically offers them at the lowest cost. We are happy to help you keep track of what is due.
