Healthcare That Meets You Where You Are
No two health journeys are the same. Some people are managing chronic conditions, others are focused on staying ahead of potential health risks, and many just want fast, reliable care when something unexpected happens. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, Advanced Primary Care Plus (APC+) is designed to meet your needs and grow with you over time.
Rather than forcing you to navigate a maze of providers, insurance approvals, and delays, APC+ gives you one central place to get care that’s fast, coordinated, and built around your real-life needs.
Everyday Care: Your First Stop for Common Concerns
When you’re feeling under the weather or need something simple like a medication refill, evaluation for a cold, or help with a minor infection, APC+ makes it easy to get the care you need right away. Clinics offer same-day or next-day appointments, and many also provide virtual care so you don’t have to leave work or rearrange your day for a quick consult. This kind of access helps reduce unnecessary trips to urgent care or the emergency room, which can be both time-consuming and costly.
According to the Commonwealth Fund, over half of U.S. adults have experienced delays in accessing primary care. APC+ eliminates that barrier with direct communication and timely access to a provider who knows your history.
Staying Well: Prevention That Works for You
APC+ isn’t just about treating illness; it’s about helping you stay well over time. Preventative care is a core part of the APC+ experience. From annual wellness exams and routine screenings to personalized lifestyle coaching, your care team helps you identify health risks before they become serious problems. You don’t have to chase down referrals for routine labs or guess which vaccines you’re due for; your provider helps manage all of that for you.
This kind of proactive care leads to better outcomes and fewer avoidable procedures. A Society of Actuaries study found that preventative services offered through direct primary care significantly reduce long-term healthcare costs and improve patient satisfaction. And when your clinic includes behavioral health services, mental wellness becomes part of your preventive care—not an afterthought.
Managing Chronic Conditions with Confidence
If you’re living with a chronic condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, or high cholesterol, APC+ is built to support you beyond just prescriptions and lab orders. You’ll work with a provider who follows your progress closely, with regular check-ins and the flexibility to adjust your care plan as needed. Many APC+ clinics offer on-site lab testing, so your routine bloodwork or screenings don’t require extra appointments at outside facilities. And when it comes to managing medications, you can get answers quickly without waiting days or weeks for a refill approval or dosage change.
One area where APC+ providers are offering additional support is in managing weight-related conditions and metabolic health. For eligible patients, APC+ providers may explore clinical pathways that include GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro® as part of a broader plan that also emphasizes nutrition, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring. These treatments can be transformative, but they work best when paired with thoughtful, ongoing care. That’s where APC+ makes a difference: by helping members explore their options, weigh the risks and benefits, and make sustainable progress with guidance from a provider who knows their full health picture.
This model of continuous, relationship-based care leads to significantly better health outcomes. Research from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that patients who receive ongoing, coordinated care for chronic conditions are more likely to stay on track with treatment and avoid costly complications or hospitalizations.
Mental Health Matters—And It’s Part of Your Care
With APC+, your mental health is treated as an essential part of your overall well-being. Instead of needing to seek out a separate mental health provider and navigate complicated insurance referrals, many APC+ clinics integrate behavioral health directly into your primary care plan. That means your care team can support you with mental health screenings, short-term therapy options, medication management, and referrals for specialized support, all under one roof.
A Primary Care Collaborative study found that when mental health care is embedded within primary care, patients experience improved outcomes and report higher satisfaction. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or something more long-term, APC+ gives you a compassionate, accessible way to get the support you need.
What Happens When You Need More?
While APC+ handles most of your healthcare needs, there are times when a specialist visit or emergency care is necessary. In those situations, your APC+ provider helps coordinate the next steps, guiding you toward high-quality specialists or helping you understand which services may be covered under your employer’s broader health plan. And when a health issue requires more urgent attention, your provider can help you determine whether a same-day clinic visit is appropriate or whether a trip to the ER is warranted. The key is that you’re not navigating it alone.
With APC+, your care is centralized, guided, and built for continuity. You don’t get lost in the shuffle. You stay connected to a provider who knows you and helps you navigate every phase of your care with less friction and more confidence.
