Dr. Farrago is a retired family physician based in Forest, Virginia. Since 2021, he has run DPCnews.com, a leading resource for the Direct Primary Care (DPC) movement.
He is the author of three best-selling books on Direct Primary Care:
The Official Guide to Starting Your Own Direct Primary Care Practice
The Direct Primary Care Doctor’s Daily Motivational Journal
Slowing the Churn in Direct Primary Care (While Also Keeping Your Sanity)
In 2016, Dr. Farrago conceived the idea for the Direct Primary Care Alliance and co-founded the organization alongside other pioneering DPC physicians. He is widely recognized as a leading expert in the DPC model and frequently lectures to medical students, residents, and practicing physicians on how to successfully start and run their own DPC practices.Dr. Farrago sold his Direct Primary Care practice in October 2020 but continues to receive care there as a patient.
I have to qualify that DPS WILL NOT work everywhere. If there is a large population of poor or Public Aid people, they’ll go to the doc that accepts public aid and will not consider DPC as they wouldn’t be able to afford it. Gotta have money for beer and cigarettes you know! If one researches the geographic area before they make the investment and it looks promising go for it. Also if an already established DPC is there and they want another doc, that’s another alternative. If I have it right DPC doesn’t do hospital care or take hospital call? If one has those skills, they’ll lapse and go away if they give it up. Hospital work was a PITA for me but it did supplement the income. I think I was one of the last primary cares that did it all except deliveries. Giving up hospital care does lead to a better quality of life but one has to build up a decent panel of DPC patients to have a decent and fair income. I’ve seen success stories here but what about the failures.
I was surprised that I have several patients who are on public assistance/state insurance who have joined as members. They have the same struggles with mainstream corporate healthcare that everyone else does and see the value in a membership that provides excellent access, more personalized care and longer visit lengths. Don’t assume because someone has state assistance that they won’t invest in Direct Primary Care membership!
