Patients and employers have historically been the victims of our high-cost inconsistent quality “sick-care” system. The key to addressing our escalating healthcare costs and overall population health is unlocking the value of the primary care physician.
Primary care physicians can exercise the role as patient and employer advocate through the Direct Primary Care (DPC) / Advanced Primary Care (APC) models. Patients can establish a relationship with the DPC/APC practice either directly through a monthly premium or potentially through their employer. Consultants, brokers, and third-party administrators are partnering with self-insured employers and incorporating DPC/APC practices into value-based benefit designs.
The real value of the DPC/APC practice is their ability to not only directly provide care and health coaching, but also, if needed, the ability to navigate patients to value-based providers either within or outside the community. The DPC/APC practice will also stay with you throughout your healthcare journey.
