Good morning Professors. In this episode of 3DEEPERCUTS, we discuss direct primary care with @ATLASMD. We begin with an overview about rising prices of hospital services and their detrimental effects on local economies. Direct primary care is a model that was originally intended before the creation of Medicare and the rise of third party payers. Our conversation highlights Dr. Josh’s journey as a curious family medicine trainee shadowing a plastic surgeon in his town. Josh was perplexed by the complicated administrative tasks that his mentor had to complete simply in order to be paid for services already rendered. In this podcast, Josh talks in detail about how he initially set up his practice, how it improves patient care, saves time and keeps costs low. Josh is a purist physician with a full panel of complicated patients. We also delve into some ethical problems related to concierge lifestyle practices in recent years. If you’re new to 3DEEPERCUTS, welcome. This is an episode you won’t want to miss.
