Grow your panel without changing how you practice.

Mending, formerl​y known as Taro Health, is a DPC-first technology company. We’ve been working closely with DPCs since 2020, helping to drive more new patients to the DPC model/practices, and crafting better health with DPC at the center.

Mending Access is Mending’s newest nationwide program for DPCs. Mending Access has started partnering with Large Employers and TPAs to fully integrate DPC into employer-sponsored health plans. The result is more employees having the DPC membership fully covered as a benefit, and therefore more employees having the option to join a local, in-person DPC practice. Mending’s technology handles all of the data and payment exchange. Different than Mending Insurance which is specific to DPCs in Maine and Oklahoma, Mending Access can work with any DPC across the country as we generate more DPC demand from Large Employers and TPAs.

Mending drives new patients to your practice at no cost, with no claims filing, no coding, and no added administrative burden. Our technology and operations are built with you in mind: membership-based payments, consistent reimbursement, and zero interference with the doctor-patient relationship.

Beyond your growth, we're also mission-aligned. Mending believes DPC is a huge part of what will heal the US healthcare system, and we want DPCs to have a seat at the table as we build it together.

Yes! If you own an independent DPC practice, have transparent retail/cash membership model pricing, and do not bill traditional insurance, we would love to chat! Please reach out at dpc@mending.com.

Yes! Since Day 1, Mending has brought on local and national DPC Advisors. We now work with over 400 DPCs (and growing) across the country, and would be happy to provide any DPC references.

Joining Mending involves a few straightforward steps. Mending will provide an agreement and walk you through a light online credentialing process. Then we set up a technical integration with your EHR, which we will help you through each step of the way. Finally, we will work together to help you build a profile page for each DPC provider at your practice, and you will officially be in our network.

‍

On average, onboarding takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Once onboarding is complete, some of our DPCs get their first Mending patient within days.

The Mending Access Agreement was co-created by our DPC Advisors and DPC lawyers, and includes details and expectations for how your practice and Mending will work together while you are a part of the Mending network. To ensure that you do not feel locked into a program, we also include a “Termination for Convenience” clause, so you can leave at any time for any reason. We believe deeply that our technology product and partnership must earn DPC trust and credibility each and every day. We do not require any DPC to accept a minimum or maximum number of patients. You may also switch your “accepting new patients” within Mending’s network on and off at any time.

No! We do not charge DPCs to join Mending. We also do not charge for any technical integration. We ask that DPCs stay engaged with us, especially during onboarding.

Not much more than what you do today with all of your other patients. We ask for your engagement and support during the technical integration with your EHR. We also ask that every DPC documents thoroughly from a clinical perspective.

‍

We do NOT require a DPC to provide us with any CPT codes, ICD10 codes, file claims, or do any extra administrative work for the purposes of billing. This is exactly what we all want to avoid!
