A lot of primary care physicians are feeling the sting of burnout. They feel
- overworked
- unappreciated
- unsupported
- underpaid
One model that has emerged in recent years is breaking the mold of primary care and rejuvenating physicians’ interest in primary care
That model is called Direct Primary Care (DPC). In Direct Primary Care, most practices charge patients a monthly subscription fee to use their services. Instead of battling insurance or haggling over prices, everything is included!
If you’ve ever heard of concierge medicine, DPC is basically concierge medicine for anyone (not just the “elite”). Supporters of the DPC model enjoy:
- more stable hours
- better relationships with their patients
- not dealing with insurance
- improved schedule
- steady/secure income
Come check out some great articles by direct primary care physicians. Determine if this model might be just what you’re looking for!
