Dr. John and Neer Patel | Breaking the Chains of Healthcare with DPC-Centered Plans
In this episode of the Voyage Clinics Podcast, Dr. John Sanders sits down with Neer Patel, a former engineer turned benefits innovator, whose wife, like Dr. Sanders, a Direct Primary Care physician. Together, they explore how their families have become advocates for a more transparent and values-driven healthcare system. Neer shares his journey from corporate America into healthcare entrepreneurship, explaining how his background in sales and marketing helped grow his wife’s DPC practice by educating both patients and business owners about the real costs of care and the power of the DPC model.
As their conversation deepens, Neer explains how repeated talks with business owners exposed a common problem: unsustainable insurance premiums that prevented employers from offering DPC memberships to their teams. Determined to solve it, he dove into the health insurance world and discovered how hidden network contracts and inflated claims drive up costs. That realization led him to co-found a company that removes traditional network contracts, brings transparency to pricing, and integrates DPC at the core of employer health plans, all designed to eliminate waste and return advocacy to the heart of healthcare.
Dr. Sanders and Neer discuss how Neer’s approach parallels the DPC movement itself, cutting out middlemen, focusing on real relationships, and giving patients and employers control over their healthcare dollars. By combining DPC’s personalized care with an actively managed, transparent coverage model, they demonstrate how businesses can provide better healthcare at lower costs while restoring trust, clarity, and compassion to the system.
