Digital Nomad Physicians

Ever had a difficult patient who seemed like more trouble than they were worth? It happens to all of us and it's not that the patient is bad, it's that we don't have the right processes in place to avoid customer related headaches. One of the biggest advantages of running a private, cash-based practice is the freedom to choose how you handle patient payments—including the ability to offer refunds strategically. In this episode, I share a real-world example where a refund could have prevented major headaches, negative reviews, and even a potential malpractice lawsuit. I also break down: Why refunding a patient's money is sometimes the best business decision How this flexibility helps protect your practice from bad faith disputes How refunds build long-term trust and improve your reputation If you're a physician considering a cash-based or direct-care practice, this episode will help you understand how having control over financial policies can protect your career and reduce liability. ---------------------------- Thanks for tuning in to the Digital Nomad Physician podcast!

In this episode, we dive into the evolving role of physicians as health coaches, exploring how this practice differs fundamentally from traditional medicine. As more doctors transition into health coaching, it's essential to understand the boundaries: health coaching focuses on empowering clients (not patients) to navigate their health journey, rather than providing medical diagnoses or treatments. We'll discuss: ✨ How health coaching helps clients make sense of multiple medical concerns and diagnoses. ✨ The importance of guiding clients to set actionable health goals while overcoming obstacles. ✨ Why personalized assessments and medical advice aren't part of a coach's scope—and how to stay compliant. ✨ Tips for doctors on building a coaching practice that's rooted in support, education, and prevention. If you're a doctor interested in health coaching or curious about how coaching complements traditional healthcare, this episode is for you!

A little more about Sasso Marconi and living in Italy. But I'll also discuss Western Medicine and what it's like to be a patient in this system. Remember that there are many systems running in parallel in the US healthcare system and the insurance model is just one such system. You have the choice of how to practice - maybe the income won't be exactly what you want it to be but it can be satisfying. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

It's understandable to be frustrated practicing medicine in the mainstream insurance model because it is designed around profits. But the alternative is working in the cahs-based system which is still quite young and not very well evolved. Fortunately, health insurance and healthcare is becoming so unaffordable that cash-based practices are gaining traction. But you must know what you're offering the patient and keep practicing your pitch. In the insurance based system the patient knows exactly whtat they are getting but it's often unclear in the cash-based world. Are you getting one vist? Multiple visits? How much is the follow-up? What if they need a test, will it be astronomical in price? ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

When hiring social media managers, web developers, or any other digital professional to build your brand, you have to go through the painful process of posting a job and vetting potential hires. This is how I do it, and it's been working okay for me. In this example, I'll tell you about online jobs.ph, but you can do the same on other sites like Virtual Latinos or Upwork. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

This was my final meeting with Rabeea Hasan and I've learned a lot and have many decisions still to make.

For the past few years have I've had a physician coaching client who wanted to become a digital nomad.

It's easy to say that the US healthcare system is broken and of no value. I disagree. I think it is motivated by profits which makes it tougher for the patient to navigate but there is defintiely value in it for the patient who knows how to navigate it. One oof the most important things we can do in this system is to figure out where we belong. Do we want to click in and out and just collect a paycheck? Do we want to have more meanfinful patient doctors relationshios? Do we need to completely exit it? ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

I love the ability to work remotely but as a digital nomad I'm not always in the same place and getting established somewhere new can be frustrating. In this episode you'll hear the loud streets of Tehran which is just another normal day for me as I go run errands. I'll tell you about navigating internet connection issues and buying SIM cards and just trying to not get swindled in day to day interactions.

It was relatively easy getting set up in Europe and running my virtual medical practice. But here in Tehran, it's a different story. From the Internet to the VPN to even opening a bank account, it's all complicated and frustrating. The frustration is worth it if you can enjoy the process and you have realistic expectations. What usually would take me 1 day in Spain has taken me nearly 2 weeks here in Iran. Then there is the time zone difference and the slow internet speeds. It's been fun, however. In this episdoe I'll give you my initial impressions and my prief interaction with the Iranian healthcare system. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads My online course: Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

As with any place I stay long enough in, I like to answer the question of whether I could see myself moving there and practicing medicine.

We all need help at some point in our career - the best way to get that is to know how to ask for it. It's worth putting some effort into it and understand why and how other clinicians can help us in our careers. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Heart Health Reddit

A medical practice doesn't have to be complicated. Physicians are in high enough demand that if you hang up a shingle you'll get plenty of customers knocking on your door. Sure, to ruin a super optimized medical practice where you optimize for profits takes a lot more work, but that's not what all of us need. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Heart Health Reddit

Physicians have a bit of turf war going on with PAs and NPs. A few decades ago, before we started having state licenses there were medical school pumping out physicians with little training.

Investing has been a big part of my professional career. With a lot of money coming in as a doctor I didn't know what I could do with that money early in my career. Fortunately I soon learned the value of investing my money to make it grow which has offered me opportunities I may have never had otherwise. ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Heart Health Reddit

Getting sued doesn't mean you're a bad doctor. It's also not a matter of guilt or lack of it. A medical malpractice suit is a civil case where the plaintiff and their attorney is trying to convince the jury or your malpractice company that there was enough evidence to claim that the physician's actions or lack of it could have somehow led to the negative outcomes the patient is claiming.

I spend $3,000 to hire a marketing and branding expert. Over the next few weeks we will have multiple meetings which I will post here in the form of a podcast.

it's time for me to bring on a marketing and branding expert who can help me define the exact customer experience that I should have and where I should position my brand in order to meet the right kind of audience. I finally decided to hire this person after spending $3,000 and I'll go over how I made this decision and why I think it is important.

GLP1s aren't bad and they aren't good. They are a tool and it's unlikely that all of their positive claims will play out and that all its criticisms will turn out to be true.

It's not hard to deliver good care to a patient but the odds are stacked against us with multitasking and a busy medical practice.

In the health insurance model, the health insurance company sends you the patient, but in private practice you have to go out and find your own patients.

Standing out is a good thing in medicine - usually. When you are doing a great job as a doctor, your peers and patients will give you subtle and not-so-subtle feedback which is worth paying attention to. And if you are doing a superb job as a doctor in a particular healthcare system but that system can't accommodate your ongoing improvement, it might be time to leave.

The healthcare economy has been on an upswing for a long, long time. A lot of profits have been made more than ever before and one thing we know is that when the few are profiting and the poor are screaming foul, something is gonna give. Whether it's new legislature or a bursting bubble or a new system replacing the old one or full economic collapse, there is something coming down that many might have a hard time recognizing early and be even less prepared for.

Should healthcare be a meritocracy? Perhaps. But it's first a business and trying to make it be anything other than a business may lead to frustration.
