North Idaho DPC
Dr. Silakoski (Jenna Silakoski, DO, ABFM
Dr. Silakoski (Jenna Silakoski, DO, ABFM) attended both undergraduate and medical school in Ohio where she went to Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Graduating in 2012 she dedicated herself to serving our nation as she immediately took an oath as an officer in the United States Army. Serving as a Soldier and a physician, she completed her residency at the Carl R Darnall Army Medical Center in Fort Hood, TX and became a Board-Certified Family Physician in 2015. Since then, she has attained the rank of Major and served in many roles including Medical Director of an outpatient clinic and Officer in Charge for the Family Medicine Residency Clinic at Fort Hood as well as providing care for Soldiers and their families across the spectrum “from cradle to grave.”
As early as medical school, Dr. Silakoski saw firsthand many of the challenges that existed with traditional healthcare both in the civilian world as well as the military. Difficulties with access to care and the lack of time able to be spent with patients left her searching for a better way. As Direct Primary Care surfaced as an answer to physician and patient’s alike calling for a way to bring relationship back to medicine without the complications of insurance, Jenna seized the opportunity to bring care directly to her patients.
Dr. Silakoski raises her two young children, AJ and Everly, with her husband Ryan who works for a company that supports our military. She enjoys painting, and exploring the world with her family and looks forward to building a life in the community of North Idaho.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: There are several ways Assured Direct Care’s network of primary care clinics care can save healthcare costs. First, our doctors are trained to handle 90% of the health issues patients may have. Traditional family doctors in the insurance world handle far less. By handling more challenges, our providers reduce referrals to specialists and the need for expensive tests. Our providers are also available via virtual urgent care after hours and on weekends, potentially saving employees costly ER or urgent care visits. In addition, we offer next- or even same-day appointments to address immediate issues.
A: Because our primary care visits are 30-60 minutes. This allows time for doctors to ask more questions, and dive deeper into health issues. Our providers emphasize prevention and proactive management of health issues rather than just treating problems after they become chronic. This reduces complexity and expenses.
A: Employers need an edge in the current labor market to attract and retain high-quality employees. Offering direct primary care in your benefits packet can entice superior employees to your business. In addition, companies that offer health benefits convey concern for employee’s well-being and support them in achieving a healthy work/life balance. This leads to retention of top quality employees.
A: Direct primary care can be offered to any employee at any time of the year. Whether you have three or thousands of employees, direct primary care works as a standalone plan, or can be integrated with a high-deductible plan, medical cost-sharing or self-funding plan. There is no waiting period and benefits begin immediately. Employers can either have their employees pay the monthly fee or employers can pay a portion or all the monthly fee.
A: Over 3,000 employers are working with direct primary care organizations across the United States—and the number is constantly growing.
A: With direct primary care, employers work directly with primary care providers, eliminating the intrusive and often costly influence of insurance companies. The typical fee-for-service model of healthcare is replaced with an affordable monthly per-member payment. Thus, employees are much more likely to see a doctor regularly, which reduces costly hospitalizations.
Our primary care providers are trained to handle up to 90% of a typical patient’s healthcare needs, which reduces the need for referrals to specialists. When specialist care is needed, the primary care provider coordinates it with a larger healthcare team. Virtual care through telehealth services ensures greater access to doctors. In addition, our contracting arrangements offer much lower prices on laboratory tests, imaging and medications.
A: Yes. Assured Direct Care is devoted to maintaining good employee health, happiness, productivity, and work-life satisfaction. Reducing the cost of primary care makes it much more likely that employees will see a doctor regularly, if not frequently. Over time, doctors will build a comprehensive picture of employee health to support their long-term wellbeing.
A: No. Our advanced primary care model is based on a direct, personal relationship between patients and doctors. We believe insurers—with their often arbitrary decisions—should not influence the quality or the cost of healthcare.
A: When those services are warranted, we will track employees during their hospital stay and work closely with any specialist.
A: Yes. One of the benefits of Assured Direct Care is easier access to healthcare. We offer virtual after-hours care from the doctor you know—not a doctor that has not treated you.
A: Assured Direct Care does not involve paying fees (copays and coinsurance) for individual primary care visits. Instead, employers can either have their employees pay an affordable monthly fee covering all primary care visits; or employers can pay a portion or all the fee for them.
A: Many employers choose to cover their employees’ fees. Why? Because by making healthcare even more affordable employers can encourage their people to fully utilize their benefits and thereby stay heathier, happier and more productive. Investing in primary care helps people manage both acute and chronic conditions before they get worse.
