This episode is also sponsored by PearsonRavitz– helping physicians protect their most valuable assets.
Many primary care physicians have moved to a direct patient care model where the physician works for him/herself and does not accept insurance. It helps eliminate many of the burdens that lead to burnout amongst doctors. But can specialists do it as well?
Dr. Lara Kenney is a hematologist-oncologist who says yes you can! She moved to this model in 2019 and talks about her practice. She also is the co-founder of Direct Specialty Care Alliance, which is an organization that is trying to help other specialists who are interested in changing their practice model as well as helping patients/physicians find resources for those who need referrals/resources.
