Here’s a snippet:
Imagine a primary-care doctor going into private practice but estranged from health care insurance companies. He or she decides to limit clientele to 400 patients. To be included in that practice you pay the doctor $500 per year and $100 dollars per month ($1,700 a year). Need to see the doctor for a checkup, no out-of-pocket cost, no co-pays. Need to have a blood panel done, $4. Sick and need to see the doctor, no further costs except for medicines.
The additional benefit to all this is that the doctor remembers you, isn’t rushed and crushed by schedule, and can actually spend time with you talking about important preventive medicine for you at your particular stage in life.
Imagine no more. As a model of practice it’s trending. Doctors don’t like the industrial model of practicing medicine any more than you do.
Direct Primary Care is trending. We are the future.
