The son of two physicians, Christopher Habig has seen first-hand the impact they made on their community. However, as he shadowed doctors in hospital systems, he noticed their dissatisfaction. This led him to trailblaze the Direct Primary Care (DPC) industry. Since 2016, his companies have launched and supported 130 DPC practices across 37 states in the US. After launch, clients have the option of becoming an employee, owning their own business with full assistance, or having an entirely independent practice.
Chris and I discuss the Concierge/DPC business model. He explains how DPC allows physicians to make twice as much money while seeing fewer patients, leading to a better work-life balance. He also gives the benefits of DPC for rural healthcare and the potential for specialists to adopt this model. Christopher stresses the importance of providing options and enabling physicians to practice medicine as they were trained.
As more physicians embrace DPC, the future of medicine looks promising, with improved patient care and a return to the values that inspired many doctors to enter the field in the first place.
“Just making physicians their own boss, that is the best way that we have seen time and time again to help solve burnout.” - Christopher Habig
