Nextera Healthcare is an affordable healthcare solution giving patients more convenient access to and one-on-one time with their physician or other primary care providers. With greater access to primary care physicians who serve as health coaches come improved understanding of one’s individual health care needs, treatment options, and potential health outcomes.

When patients are not bound by copay and office visit restrictions imposed by traditional health plans and physicians have more time to get to know their patients, quality of care is greatly improved.

The vast majority of one’s primary health care needs can be covered through Nextera Healthcare membership. Our simple, straightforward, and affordable monthly payment model eliminates copays, fees for most in-office tests and treatments, and other costs often associated with traditional health plans.
