INSIGHT

Direct Primary Care Cuts Red Tape

  • Direct Primary Care (DPC) removes insurance middlemen and lets providers spend real time with patients.
  • Courtney says DPC panels of ~300 patients let clinicians offer hour-long visits and better outcomes.
ADVICE

Limit Panels With Membership Fees

  • Use membership pricing to limit patient panels and protect provider quality of life.
  • Charge affordable monthly fees so clinicians can see fewer patients and offer longer visits.
ANECDOTE

  • Brad texted his concierge with a video of his child’s nursemaid's elbow and avoided an ER visit.
  • He saved hours and thousands of dollars by getting remote triage and prompt treatment.
