Primary care, the way it should feel.
Relationship-first physicians keep smaller patient panels, so you get real time with a doctor who knows you, can see you quickly, and tells you the price up front. ZMN helps you find them.
For patients
Find a practice
Search the map by ZIP code or town. Each listing shows the practice model, typical prices, and whether the practice is taking new patients.
Talk to them
Call or visit the practice's website. Ask how they work, what's included, and how quickly you can be seen.
Join directly
You sign up with and pay the practice. ZMN never charges patients and never stands between you and your doctor.
For physicians
Apply free
Tell us about your practice and agree to the relationship-first pledge. It takes about five minutes.
We confirm
We confirm your details with you by phone or email before anything is published.
You're listed
Your practice appears on the map. You set your own prices, do your own billing, and can update or remove your listing at any time.
Practice models on the map
Membership (direct primary care). You pay the practice a flat monthly fee that covers most primary care: visits, direct messages, and often discounted labs and medications. There's usually no per-visit charge.
Cash-price visits. Independent practices that publish clear prices for visits, so you know what you'll pay before you go.
Neither is health insurance. Most people still keep coverage for emergencies, hospital stays, and specialist care.
Questions
What does “relationship-first” mean?
Care that starts with your own health goals, delivered by a physician you can actually reach, with enough time in each visit to listen. Every physician who joins ZMN agrees to our relationship-first pledge.
Is ZMN free?
Yes. ZMN is free for patients and for physicians. In the future, employers will be able to offer ZMN physicians as a benefit, and that is how ZMN will sustain itself.
Does ZMN recommend or rank doctors?
No. We list practices that meet our criteria and confirm their details, but we don't rate, rank, or endorse anyone. Choosing a doctor is your decision.
How current are the prices?
Each listing says when its details were last confirmed. Prices and availability change, so always confirm with the practice before you join.
Is ZMN a medical provider or insurer?
No. ZMN is an informational directory. We don't provide medical care, give medical advice, or handle payments. In an emergency, call 911.
Where is ZMN available?
We're starting in Chicagoland and growing city by city. If your doctor practices this way, invite them to join.
