Membership & Pricing

Here are the prices. No copays, no hidden fees, no surprise bills.

So here are the prices, all of them, up front. So here’s all of it. What’s listed is what you pay.

Monthly membership

Membership is priced by age, because a healthy twenty-five-year-old and someone managing three conditions at seventy use very different amounts of my time over a year. Kids are cheap to add. And no matter how big your household gets, there’s a cap on what you pay.

Monthly membership by age band
WhoMonthly membership
Child, ages 0 to 17 (with an enrolled adult)$30/mo
Young adult, ages 18 to 25$55/mo
Adult, ages 26 to 44$75/mo
Adult, ages 45 to 64$95/mo
Adult, ages 65 and up$110/mo

Household cap: $250 a month.

Add up your whole family and the total never climbs past $250 a month. A couple with three kids pays $250, and that’s the most you’ll ever pay.

Enrollment

A one-time enrollment fee of $75 per adult, and nothing for the children. So an individual pays $75 once, a couple pays $150 once, and a family pays $150 once, however many kids come along. If you ever leave and come back later, re-enrollment is $150 per adult.

Use your HSA

New for 2026

Use your HSA

As of January 1, 2026, direct primary care memberships are HSA and FSA eligible, up to $150 a month for an individual and $300 a month for a family. If you have a health savings account, your membership can come straight out of it, before tax.

Billing and cancellation

Pay yearly, and the twelfth month is on me

If you’d rather not think about a charge every month, pay for the year up front and I’ll only bill you for eleven months. You get the twelfth free. It’s just a billing convenience, and it’s completely optional.

No contract. Cancel anytime.

Membership is month-to-month. There’s no contract and no cancellation penalty. If it stops being worth it, give me thirty days’ notice and that’s that. I’d rather keep earning it every month than lock you into anything.

For employers

Almanac for employers

More than half of the direct primary care memberships in the country are now paid for by employers. The reason is pretty simple. A team that can text a doctor and get seen the same day misses less work and spends less time in urgent care. For a small business, it’s one of the few benefits people actually notice.

As a benefit, an Almanac membership is simple to run. No claims, no billing, no surprise renewal spike at the end of the year. Your employees get a real doctor, and you get a flat cost you can plan around.

If you run a business in the Fort Collins area and want to talk it through, pick “my team” on the enrollment form, or just call me.

Pricing questions

A couple of questions about the money

What is not included in the membership fee?
The membership covers my care and my time. Labs, imaging, and medications are billed at wholesale, separately, and only when you actually use them, at the prices listed above. The hospital, the ER, surgery, and specialist care aren’t part of the membership. That’s what your insurance or health share is for.
Wait, so I still need insurance?
Yes, some kind of coverage for the big, rare things, because Almanac isn’t insurance and was never meant to be. The How it works page explains how a membership and a plan fit together.

The prices are the easy part. The bigger question is whether I’m the right doctor for you.
