Memberships
Clear Option: Memberships Built Around Access
If you are tired of unpredictable pricing and rushed appointments, membership can simplify the day-to-day side of healthcare. Ripple Effect Direct Care Memberships are built for individuals and families in Potomac, Danville, and nearby communities who want a consistent way to access primary care. You pay one monthly rate that is age-based for fairness, then use membership for routine and ongoing needs. Members can schedule unhurried visits, request same-day or next-day appointments when available, and communicate through a secure portal.
Each membership supports preventive care, annual physicals, chronic condition management, basic urgent concerns, and practical guidance for next steps. The goal is straightforward: make it easier to get care, ask questions earlier, and follow a plan you can sustain.
Why Membership?
Predictable Costs and Fewer Surprises
A membership model can work well when you want costs you can plan for and care decisions guided by needs rather than billing rules. Monthly fees start at $49 for children and young adults, $79 for adults, and $99 for seniors, with age-based pricing to keep rates consistent across life stages. Members can also access wholesale cash rates for labs and imaging through local facilities in Vermilion County.
If you are an employer, REward Memberships offer a discounted option for teams of 10+ as an employee benefit. If you want IV hydration or nutrient support, REvive is available as an add-on for members and non-members alike.
Our Features
Membership Features: What’s Included
Membership is designed to cover the primary care needs most people face throughout the year. You can use membership for unlimited office and virtual visits, preventive care, chronic condition check-ins, and common urgent needs that can be handled in the clinic, including simple sutures or point-of-care testing. When a referral is needed, we help coordinate next steps with local specialists. Telehealth is available for added convenience when appropriate.
Members also receive access to wholesale cash rates for labs and imaging near Potomac, Danville, Bismarck, and Rossville. Through the secure SigmaMD portal, you can message the provider, request appointments, and access records. Membership also includes access to professional-grade supplements through Fullscript and discounted REvive IV Therapy services. This model is not intended for high-complexity cases that are better managed by specialist teams.
How It Works
How It Works: Signup, Billing, and Eligibility
Getting started is simple. Choose your membership tier based on age, complete the online signup, and pay the first and last month upfront. This keeps the final 30 days prepaid if you cancel with 30 days’ written notice. Membership is not insurance, so it can pair well with a high-deductible or health-share plan for emergencies outside the clinic’s scope. If you leave and later return, a $200 re-enrollment fee applies
Memberships are open to individuals and families throughout East Central Illinois, excluding Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Small businesses with 10 or more employees can access discounted group rates through REward.
