Taro Health insurance plans pay local direct primary care clinic membership fees

Taro Health, an innovative health insurance option available on Healthcare.gov, has partnered with MainStreet Clinic to offer Lawton-area residents affordable, direct access to health insurance that includes direct primary care clinic membership for the first time.

Residents of Comanche County can enroll in an insurance plan that includes Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic membership to MainStreet Clinic for 2025. DPC offers an enhanced patient experience, with longer visits, shorter wait times and direct communication with providers – features designed to deliver more personalized care.

Taro Health plans include:

  • $0 copays for unlimited visits, whether in-person or virtual
  • Same-day or next-day access for urgent needs
  • Direct communication with providers via phone, email or text
  • 45-minute appointments to address health concerns more thoroughly

“At Taro Health, our goal is to bring communities like Lawton a better way to access healthcare,” said Jeff Yuan, co-founder of Taro Health. “By partnering with practices like MainStreet Clinic, we’re offering more than insurance – we’re creating a pathway for residents to stay healthy through personalized, proactive care.”

Dr. Brian Birdwell, founder of MainStreet Clinic in Lawton, is among dozens of DPC providers across Oklahoma who partner with Taro Health to be in-network.

“Lawton deserves health care that puts patients first,” Brian Birdwell, MD said. “Taro Health is helping us expand our reach by combining clinic membership with an insurance plan. Together, we’re delivering care that meet the unique needs of our community, without sacrificing quality or affordability.”

Oklahomans can explore the Taro Health affordable insurance plans during Open Enrollment, which started Nov. 1. For coverage starting Jan. 1, 2025, enroll by Dec. 15, 2024.
