American Family Care Cost Comparisons

The first American Family Care Clinic (AFC) was opened in 1982 by D. Bruce Irwin, M.D. Since then, our model of “putting the patient first” and providing an alternative, non-emergency room option for urgent care has made us an industry leader and a patient favorite at our clinics throughout the country. All AFC centers provide access to primary care, urgent care, minor emergency treatment, and occupational medicine.The demand for comprehensive and convenient health care services increases every year.

People want and need access to health care on their terms - without endless waiting in hospital emergency rooms or staggering bills.

Healthcare franchises have rapidly become a popular alternative to traditional means of seeking urgent care and primary care medical services. The United States public health care system is increasingly strained by factors such as a rapidly aging population, the rising costs of insurance, and an increasing percentage of the population without adequate health insurance or convenient access to medical care. Private healthcare franchises address these issues by creating an affordable and convenient healthcare option which patients can turn to without an appointment, a long wait, an unaffordable bill, or a lengthy commute.

The total initial investment necessary to begin operation of a franchised business (in which you are not converting an existing urgent care business), ranges from $1,008,000 - $1,441,500. This includes $190,000 - $210,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates.

If you are converting an existing urgent care facility to be an American Family Care center that you will manage, the total initial investment necessary to begin operation of a franchised business ranges from $114,500 - $480,500. This includes $45,000 that must be paid to the franchisor or affiliate. If you sign an Area Development Agreement to develop a certain number of franchised businesses, you must pay the franchisor a development fee of $60,000 for your first franchise and a non-refundable deposit of $10,000 for each additional franchise to be developed. The number of units for an Area Development Agreement will be negotiated between the parties but will be no less than 2. The initial franchise fee for subsequent franchises under the Area Development Agreement is $45,000.
