Your health insurance might assign you a primary care doctor but is that really the best primary care doctor for you? You can choose your own and never lose that doctor. Here's how.
Great breakdown. The corporate primary care model rewards throughput and revenue generation. It is basically irrational from a health perspective and patient outcomes. I had to see it up close in 2022 and study it for a couple of years to fully process how bad it is. Now that the dust has settled I can't imagine being seen in corporate primary care again. I don't need DPC any more though since my DPC doc progressed me to the point where i don't need her! I guess that last fact explains why normal GPs do what they do.
Thank you for sharing. For some people the traditional primary care model still makes sense - they don't need a lot and don't want a lot, and are comfortable dealing with any health crises when it happens with the help of their insurance. For others, the short appointment times and the cookie cutter approaches aren't enough.
