    I was part of a #familymedicine group for 12 years. Gave that up 9 years ago and started a #directprimarycare practice working for patients, not insurance companies.

    It's a much more effective way to deliver #primarycare compared to insurance or government #feeforservice and should be part of any #healthcarereform

    Much of this is due to #feeforservice billing paradigm and prepaying for routine care via #healthinsurance

    For #primarycare, it's simpler to dump both. That makes primary care efficient enough that we can provide it (and free phone calls and messages) for $44 to $99/month when the hospital clinic down the street is charging $173 to $351 per visit.

    Save the insurance for big , expensive problems.
