Are you worried about your ability to access high quality healthcare at a reasonable cost?
Most of us are distracted by the politics of healthcare. But while we’re arguing about the rising costs and who has access to what services, most of us have failed to notice that the healthcare system in which we grew up no longer exists.
It’s almost impossible to be seen when we’re actually sick. Our doctors have no time to discuss complicated concerns. And then we’re blindsided by monthly premiums and out of pocket expenses.
We know the system is broken. But what’s the alternative?
My guest today is Dr. Maryal Concepcion, a family medicine doctor who joined the mass exodus of burned out physicians refusing to provide substandard care in the insurance-based system. We’re doing a deep dive into the direct primary care (DPC) model that is revolutionizing the connection between doctors and their patients and providing high quality, comprehensive care at a fraction of the cost. In this episode, you’ll learn:
The difference between DPC and insurance-based business models
How the DPC model benefits families with small children and people with severe chronic illnesses
If you still need insurance when you have a DPC physician
How to find a DPC physician in your area
