Grand Rounds: Exploring Direct Care Model with Dr. Rebekah Bernard

Being an employed physician who accepts insurance can be overwhelming with all of the administrative tasks we must go through to get paid. Have you ever thought of opening a clinic where you didn't take insurance? What would that look like? Dr. Rebekah Bernard joins us to talk about her experience as a Direct Primary Care physician. She also states other specialties are starting to follow suit and open practices around the US.  We explore how she got started,  how she helps her patients get the tests and procedures they need, how she documents, the financial side of DPC and more. Dr. Bernard is an advocate for physician wellness, physician-led care and preventing/treating physician burnout. She is an author and podcast host.  You can learn more about her at www.RebekahBernard.com.
