This episode is focused on the topic of Direct Primary Care, also known as "DPC".
The DPC model transforms primary care into a membership-based model, rather than the traditional fee-for-service model. The goal is to provide all of the same routine services that patients receive from their primary care physician but eliminate the incentive for fast patient turnover, which often leads to a decrease in the quality of care provided.
Our guest, Andy Bonner, the President & CEO of Healthcare2U, shares his experience in the healthcare industry and how a personal misdiagnosis led to the creation of Healthcare2U, a company that offers a hybrid model of primary care services.
He also shares what he learned working in business process outsourcing, where he helped develop the concept of "Near-Site/On-Site" and how it has led to the creation of Healthcare2U.
In this episode, you will learn about the benefits of DPC, including:
* More time with your doctor
* Stronger patient-doctor relationship
* Improved physician quality of life
* Elimination of claims to insurance
* Less Administrative Burden
Tune in to this episode to understand the potential of DPC and how it can change the way we approach primary care!
