CostCare Missoula clinic to be 1st in state to offer direct primary care for $70 monthly fee

A 10-year-old medical clinic in Missoula is shifting its approach to health care, becoming the first in the state to offer primary care for a low monthly fee that could save patients money for routine treatment and procedures.

Dr. Carol Bridges, who co-founded CostCare http://costcare.com/ in 2007, said the clinic will step away from the health insurance model to offer "direct primary care" starting in January for $70 a month.
