A Great Podcast Featuring DPC Doc Brandon Alleman, MD, PhD from Antioch Med

Posted on by

DPC keeps gaining momentum. Here is an example from a recent podcast:

Patients wait months for primary care. Physicians see thirty patients a day. Insurance premiums climb faster than wages. Hospitals lose money on the very service that should prevent admissions in the first place.

A quiet but growing group of physicians, entrepreneurs, and community leaders are asking the obvious: “Why do we keep doubling down on a model that rewards volume instead of value?”

Enter Dr. Brandon Alleman Fulbright Scholar. MD, PhD. Family Physician. Trailblazer in Direct Primary Care (DPC). Instead of chasing prestige, Dr. Alleman chose family medicine to reinvent care. He launched Antioch Med in Wichita, Kansas, where patients pay a monthly membership—priced like a Costco subscription—for full physician access, deeply discounted labs and medications, and care not defined by billing codes. “It’s more Costco than concierge medicine,” he explains.

Today, Antioch Med is thriving and influencing employers, business leaders, and policymakers desperate for a way out of healthcare’s vicious cycle.

Take a listen or watch.
