from The Direct Care Podcast For Specialists · host Tea Nguyen, DPM
Send us Fan MailMost doctors leave insurance… but still run their practice like they’re in-network.I did the same thing at first.I thought direct care simply meant putting cash prices on my services and charging patients per visit. But staying fee-for-service kept my practice transactional, unpredictable, and financially stuck.In this episode, I’m sharing why I shifted away from CPT-code thinking and started building packages, memberships, and long-term patient relationships instead. Because patients don’t just want appointments — they want a clear plan, real results, and someone who can guide them from pain to solution.
