Take a listen as Dr. Josh Umbehr gets into the mix about the hamster wheel of primary care and how the system is broken. He talks about why DPC is better for both physicians and patients. Here is the summary from the site but click the link to listen.
Last week on Here & Now, host Peter O’Dowd spoke to a primary care doctor about the new trend of membership care, a model that’s becoming more common across the country. Under this model, doctors ask patients to sign up for membership plans for direct primary care services.
The conversation sparked a debate online with members of the concierge medicine community. This is a follow-up conversation with Dr. Josh Umbehr, a direct care doctor at Atlas MD. He brings a different perspective on this model of care and tells O’Dowd why he believes this model is better for patients and how it avoids a doctor shortage.
