Dr. Torres-Hodges talks about the business aspects of running her private practice, the advantages she had with having physician parents. She discusses exploring membership-options but prefers fee-for-service. Direct Care offered her time to work at a free clinic one day a week as a way to give back and connecting with patients since she can spend more time with them free of insurance restrictions.
Listen as to why she's sees those coming out of training adapt easier than those of transition from an insurance-based practice.
Is there a formula that will determine the success of a direct care? Not yet but some market research will help.
A common misconception about Direct Care is that is serves only the wealthy but that is the exact opposite of what it does.
"We did not go into medicine to do all the minutia."
"There is no magic formula...there is a lot of trial and error."
"We need to instill working smarter, not harder."
