Better Healthcare, Lower Costs: How Cimtech and Decent Transformed Team Member Benefits with Direct Primary Care

What if healthcare wasn’t a source of stress, but a tool to boost morale, productivity, and team loyalty? Cimtech, a precision manufacturing company, decided to stop playing by the old rules and reimagine what healthcare could be.

Let’s be honest – healthcare can be a headache. Rising costs, confusing plans, and employees feeling stuck in a system that just doesn’t work. Cimtech was no stranger to these challenges. But instead of settling for the status quo, CEO Jesika Young decided it was time to make a change.

Jesika teamed up with Cameron Hayes, a benefits advisor who’s all about finding creative solutions, and Jessica McCartin, a passionate Direct Primary Care (DPC) provider at Elite Primary Care & Wellness, just a few miles from Cimtech’s office. With a little help from Decent, they didn’t just switch health plans, they created a new way forward that prioritized the team’s wellness, controlled costs, and made healthcare simpler for everyone involved. 

It’s a story of teamwork, innovation, and rethinking what healthcare can be. And for Cimtech, it’s made all the difference. 

The Challenges Cimtech Faced

For Cameron Hayes, Benefits Advisor:

Being a benefits advisor was about more than just numbers for Cameron. He wanted to give each client a real solution, not just another overpriced insurance plan. But the market made it tough to offer anything different.

“Most brokers stick to the same plans that don’t really solve anything,” Cameron said. “Decent and DPC gave me a way to offer something better.”

Cameron’s advice to other advisors: “Prioritize clients’ needs and explore innovative solutions like DPC. When you focus on serving your clients well, the rest falls into place.”

For Jesika Young, Cimtech CEO:

The stakes were high for Jesika. With a tenured team that formed the backbone of the company’s success, healthcare costs were spiraling out of control. Year after year, rising premiums and out-of-pocket expenses created frustration and eroded morale.

“The smallest increase we faced was 27%,” Jesika said. “That’s just not sustainable. We needed a plan that actually worked for our team.”

Jesika’s advice to other leaders: “We waited longer than we should have to try something different. I wish we’d explored options like this sooner.”

‍

For Jessica McCartin, DPC Provider:

Jessica was passionate about personalized care, but connecting with the right employer groups to scale her practice was a constant challenge.

“DPC is all about building relationships,” Jessica said. “Decent helped me bridge the gap to employers like Cimtech, making it possible to grow my practice while doing what I love.”

Jessica’s advice to other providers: “Don’t let fear stop you from starting the conversation. Educating businesses and brokers about DPC is worth the effort.”

How Decent Helped Cimtech Transform Healthcare

When Jesika, Cameron, and Jessica came together with Decent, they created something special: a healthcare solution that worked for everyone involved. Decent didn’t just connect the dots - they built a system that prioritized wellness, affordability, and trust.

For Cameron, the Benefits Advisor:

Decent gave him the tools to present something fresh and effective to Cimtech.

‍“Decent made it easy to show Cimtech how DPC could transform their healthcare. They connected us with the perfect provider and handled the details,” Cameron explained.

Cameron’s advice: “Don’t be afraid to step away from traditional models. The rewards of offering meaningful solutions far outweigh the risks.”‍‍

For Jesika, Cimtech CEO:

Decent took the pressure off, handling the details and making the transition seamless. The clinic’s location just a few miles away was the icing on the cake.‍

“Decent helped us focus on what mattered—our team’s health—without added costs or complications,” Jesika explained.

Jesika’s advice: “Transparency and connection make all the difference when introducing something new. Lean on trusted partners and involve your team in the process.”

For Jessica, DPC Provider at Elite Primary Care:

Decent’s support allowed her to connect with Cimtech and expand her practice.

“Working with Decent and Cimtech has been so rewarding. It’s amazing to partner with a team that truly cares about health and wellness,” Jessica shared.

Jessica’s advice: “Partner with businesses that align with your values. Those relationships make scaling your practice rewarding.”

The Steps That Made the Transition Successful

Bringing Everyone Together:

Cameron’s role was more than just setting up the plan. It was about helping every team member feel comfortable with the change. He took a hands-on approach to ensure the transition was successful, collaborating with Decent to design a solution that fit Cimtech’s unique needs. He also held one-on-one meetings to address concerns directly.

“I knew this was a big shift, and I wanted the team to feel confident every step of the way. Taking the time to educate them was crucial,” Cameron said.

Fostering Confidence and Connection:

For Jesika, transparency was everything. Decent’s involvement, combined with Jessica’s onsite visits, helped reassure the team that they were in good hands.

“Having Jessica come in and meet the team face-to-face really helped. They knew right away they could trust her,” Jesika shared.

Making It Personal:

Jessica focused on delivering care tailored to Cimtech’s needs. With Decent handling the details, she could provide the kind of patient-first experience DPC is all about.

“Decent made the process smooth, so I could focus entirely on giving Cimtech’s team the care they deserved,” Jessica said.

The Impact of Choosing Decent and DPC

Unlocking New Possibilities:

Cameron saw firsthand how a tailored healthcare approach could transform client relationships. He built stronger connections with both employers and DPC providers, creating new opportunities for collaboration.

“This collaboration showed me that focusing on people over profits doesn’t just feel good - it drives real results,” Cameron reflected.

Building Stronger Connections:

Jessica’s practice grew as she welcomed new patients who valued personalized care. The partnership with Cimtech reinforced her belief in the power of DPC to improve lives.

“Seeing the positive impact on Cimtech’s team has been so rewarding. It’s why I do what I do,” Jessica shared.

A Renewed Sense of Support:

With same-day care and a provider who truly cared, Cimtech’s team felt supported like never before. Costs stabilized, and the benefits became a source of pride for the company.

“It’s amazing to see our team thriving because they finally feel valued and cared for. That’s priceless,” Jesika shared.
