What The Heck Happended to Health Care In The USA?

 In this episode, I do a deep dive into a lot of the background of what the heck has happened to health care in the USA, and what our practice is is doing about it. Lot's more to come next week.

 Direct Primary Care (DPC) is healthcare that focuses on a direct relationship between the patient and the primary care physician, without involvement from insurance companies. Since we have received so many inquiries recently, here are some patient advantages of Direct Primary Care in my practice specifically:

 

1. Affordability:

- DPC in our practice is a monthly or annual fee, eliminating the need for copays and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for routine visits. This can make healthcare much more affordable for so many patients.

2. Accessibility:

- You have enhanced access to me as your primary care physician. Longer appointment times and the ability to communicate easily with me personally through electronic means (email, text, or video calls) contribute to vastly improved accessibility.

 

3. Preventive Care:

- We have for many years emphasized preventive care and wellness, as opposed to a fee-for-service traditional healthcare model that may prioritize treating illnesses. Regular check-ups and proactive health management can lead enormous health benefits and peace of mind you just will not find elsewhere.

 

4. Personalized Care:

- With a smaller patient load, I can spend more time with you, getting to know much more personally, your medical history, lifestyle, and most especially your care preferences. This allows for more personalized and much more comprehensive care if you choose.

 

5. Focus on Patient Education...
