How have Direct Primary Care patients and doctors been affected by the pandemic and economic shut down?
DPC doctors do not accept insurance, but rather, they provide unlimited access to a defined set of primary care services on a monthly membership basis. Listen to Dr. Elizabeth Eaman and Dr. Jeffrey Gold describe the challenges and benefits of this model of primary care delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic and economic shut down. Learn how operating outside the 3rd party payer system allows them to be flexible in caring for their patients and in finding innovative ways to support their communities and their patients through tough economic times. Many traditional insurance-based primary care practices have experienced significant financial difficulty since the majority of visits were cancelled or delayed starting in February. One study estimated that primary care practice revenue will decline by nearly $68,000 per full time physician. Does Direct Primary Care provide a more financially sustainable practice model during times of uncertainty?
