🌿 Everything You Need to Know About Our Membership-Based Primary Care Program

Now Offering Personalized, Accessible Primary Care at Manchester Medical Center

We’re excited to share that Primary Care is now available at Manchester Medical Center (MMC)!

Since opening our doors on July 4, 2019, our mission has been clear: to provide high-quality, accessible healthcare to our Southern Vermont community. While we’ve proudly delivered walk-in Urgent Care, we’re now expanding that mission with a comprehensive Primary Care program built for today’s healthcare challenges—especially those facing rural communities.

Why a Membership-Based Model?

Traditional, insurance-based primary care often forces providers to see a high volume of patients just to remain financially viable. The result?
⏳ Long wait times
🕒 Short, rushed appointments
😞 Frustrated patients
😓 Burned-out providers

At MMC, we believe there’s a better way. We’ve developed a membership-based Primary Care Program that puts the focus back on the patient—more time, better access, and deeper relationships with your provider.

🩺 What Is the MMC Primary Care Program?

The MMC Primary Care Program is a membership-based model designed to provide patients with:

  • Longer, unhurried visits

  • Improved access to your provider

  • Direct communication and continuity of care

  • Reduced provider panel sizes, so you’re not just a number

We offer two tiers of membership to meet different needs:

1. Standard Primary Care Program

Perfect for patients who want more personalized care but still wish to use their insurance for visits.
✅ Longer appointments
✅ Reduced wait times
✅ Responsive communication
✅ Insurance billed for visits

💰 $60/month per patient
– $720/year (annual payment)
– Quarterly payment options available
– 6-month membership for part-time residents: $360

2. Direct Primary Care Program

Ideal for patients who want all-inclusive care without insurance billing. All visits and many basic services are included in the membership.
✅ Unlimited visits (as clinically appropriate)
✅ No insurance billing
✅ More services included under one flat fee

💰 $150/month per patient
– $1,800/year (annual payment)
– Quarterly payment options available
– 6-month membership for part-time residents: $900
