“… DPC positions the model as a transformative force in reshaping the American healthcare landscape…” This paper is packed with insights and data into more than just the financials of #DirectPrimaryCare model.

This is a really cool calculator for those who are looking to figure out the economics of a blended DPC and fee-for-service model

With more PCPs leaving the field and fewer medical students choosing the specialty, the U.S. is on track to face a shortage of over 55,000 primary care physicians by 2034. In this article, published this week in the?Journal of General Internal Medicine, we suggest that the direct primary care (DPC) model could help address this crisis. By transitioning from fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement to patient-paid membership fees, DPC reduces administrative tasks, allowing physicians to focus more on providing quality care. This shift also promotes stronger patient-provider relationships and broadens the range of services offered. In addition to the financial benefits outlined in the article, we argue that DPC’s potential to alleviate PCP burnout could lead to a more sustainable and resilient primary care system.

I love that this paper was published. It is great to start to having more data on DPC. I think the cost estimates are even more dramatically different. Most pure DPC practices run much leaner than was estimated. 1. Decreased EMR costs 2. Significantly decreased Malpractice costs for physicians because of their lower panel sizes and improved relationships - we are sued less. 3. Staffing for 2 physicians with 1000 patients would only require one clinical staff and one admin (definitely not 4) 4. In the FFS practice you also have to consider the high deductible health plans and the fact patients pay out of pocket for their visits/labs/meds until they hit their deductible. DPC contains those costs. In regards to cherry picking I have found that the high utilizers of care actually cherry pick us because we spend a lot of time with them and help them manage their needs. That would be an interesting study! Thanks for getting the word out on direct primary care.

What is private practice—and is it right for you? via American Medical Association: https://bit.ly/4ed5jGH. "A private practice is wholly owned by physicians rather than a hospital, health system or other entity. A recent AMA Physician Practice Benchmark Survey showed that 49.1% of U.S. physicians delivering patient care work in practices wholly owned by physicians. The private practice setting can be particularly rewarding for the freedom and other benefits it offers physicians, but it also has its share of challenges. It’s important to consider both before diving in."
