Mending Health Insurance
Formerly Taro Health
WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE ACA INSURANCE PLANS IN 2027.
In 2022, Mending Health Insurance (formerly Taro Health) brought their innovative health insurance products to Cumberland County, Maine. Mending offered plans including DPC for 4 years. While we demonstrated that DPC lowers overall healthcare spend, the Mending Health plans will not continue into 2027. The cost of for-profit insurance is just too great overall.
​
In 2027, Mending Health will transition to Mending Access, working with businesses to incorporate DPC into their healthcare benefits BUT WILL NOT offer their own insurance plans.

Direct Primary Care + Comprehensive Insurance
We believe all families deserve access to comprehensive primary care. Traditional comprehensive insurance includes primary care but their premiums are very expensive. High-deductible insurance lowers the monthly premium but typically only covers one preventative visit per year. This is not enough to keep our patients well. Direct primary care offers patients access to their primary care physician that operates in a model that has the time to take care of them.
