Sorry @khnews , but opting out of Medicare does NOT mean leaving Medicare patients behind. Quite the contrary, it means abandoning improper top-down interference in the patient-doctor relationship. khn.org/MTA5MTIwNw

Replying to @SeemaCMS
@SeemaCMS @rshawnm @aafp oh, CMS will pay up $50-100 per phone call? What if i told you that they could pay #directcare $50-100 per month for unlimited phone calls, home visits, office visits, PLUS free procedures and 95% savings on meds & labs :) aafp.org/news/government-med…

Germany tests a LOT. They are containing the virus. Why Germany? "Germany does not have a public health laboratory that would restrict other labs from doing the tests. So we had an open market from the beginning." npr.org/2020/03/25/820595489… The US, sadly, had the opposite:

As a former health insurance exec, I don’t think any story better illustrates my old industry’s racket than the one I’m about to tell you: Right now, as we enter the worst public health crisis of our lifetimes (#COVID19), health insurers are still raking in record profits. (1/11)

We all know that the DPC provision was tortured to make the score look pretty as a solo bill. The language was horrific, why it never moved. Let's not pretend that anyone cares about the score of this current $1.3 T bill. Put the right language in there. We have that language.

Yet another reason states like NJ, NY, and TX must join the vast majority of states that allow physician in-office dispense!

Anyone with some connections that could help the @aafp and @dpcalliance convince @MartyMakary to speak to 300 or so #directprimarycare physicians and #burnout primary care docs considering #DPC ?? We have very little money to offer but we have to at least ask....HELP US

Any #DPC docs want to share their experience and help set the record straight about the false equivalency between concierge medicine and #directprimarycare?

Thanks to @chiproytx for sponsoring the Personalized Care Act #HR5596 in support of #DPC and #HSA expansion. It is the House companion to @SenTedCruz @SenatorBraun #S3112. Please ask your lawmakers to co-sponsor these great bills! congress.gov/bill/116th-cong…

A patient came to our practice in need of a PET scan. She had been quoted $7,000 for the test and offered a cash price of $5,000. Our price through our partner is $1,627. The savings on one test paid for nearly 4 years of primary care. #PriceTransparencySavesLives #DPC

Because we are not beholden to third-parties and their EHR requirements, DPC physicians place our priority in providing the high-touch personalized care by giving time and attention to our patients, not to the EHR.
The healing patient-physician analog relationship is in critical condition ⁦@kevinmd⁩ ⁦@PPA_USA⁩ ⁦@IndDrs⁩ ⁦@AAPSonline⁩ ⁦⁦@DavidBalatHC⁩ ⁦@FreedomWorks⁩ ⁦@njosteopathic⁩ #DoctorsThatDO #Free2Care #FreeToCare kevinmd.com/blog/2019/11/the…
House Ways and Means just approved HR 3708 for consideration by the full House. Please call and ask your Representative to Vote NO on HR 3708 and support a reintroduction of the original Primary Care Enhancement Act of 2017 (then known as HR 365). bit.ly/fixhr3708

So explain to me @MassGovernor @RepDanCahill why physicians in MA can not dispense wholesale meds to patients but CVS MinuteClinics can prescribe and have the script filled two aisles over? This could save MA residents millions of dollars
#directcare practices have hit a new record! Saving patients $11m on medications. Saving almost $100k every week -- NOW thats how you fix healthcare :)
