Cutting out the medical middle man
A trend, known as "direct primary care," is currently experiencing a boom, as are the dental-practice membership plans. According to Business Wire, between 2017 and 2021, direct primary care experienced 241% growth in memberships and 159% growth in clinicians setting up practices. This suggests not only do doctors love not having to hire people to haggle with CMS or insurance companies over every service they perform, but patients also love not having to worry about co-pays and confusing bill statements.
