1. The Direct Care Movement Is Mainstream Now
2026 is the year specialists can no longer ignore the shift—direct care is making headlines and attracting advocates like Mark Cuban, who’s cutting out middlemen and championing patient-centered care. The time to act is now.
2. You Have More Power (and Options) Than You Think
The old insurance model is broken, but you don’t have to play by those rules. Whether you’re worried about opening a new office, choosing your location, or deciding on cash vs. membership models, direct care lets you design your practice your way.
3. Support, Community, and Real Answers Await
Join Dr. Tea’s private Facebook group for monthly Q&As, peer support, and details on the next group coaching cohort. You’re not alone—connect, ask questions, and get ready to take control of your career in 2026.
