Real Talk with Kid Docs

Episode 23. Direct Primary Care (DPC), Part 1


Listen Later

In this episode of Real Talk With Kids Docs we dive into the world of Direct Primary Care (DPC) with  our guests Dr. Phil Boucher and Dr. Deanna Barry. Both are pediatricians and owners of DPC practices and each with meaningful insights into the differences between the traditional fee-for-service practice and DPC. Dr. Boucher is the owner of Frontier Pediatrics in Lincoln, Nebraska and Dr. Barry of Barry Pediatrics in Bath, Ohio.

In Part 1 of our discussion we explore what exactly is direct primary care and what motivated them to make the switch to this practice model from the traditional fee-for-service practice. Practically, what does this mean for the practice of medicine and how have they seen their lives change in terms of career and personal satisfaction.

In addition to their roles as pediatricians and practice owners, Phil and Deanna also spend their time helping other physicians making the transition to DPC with novel business strategies and spearheading national events like the Pediatric Direct Primary Care Mastermind conference. 

Stay tuned for Part 2 where we will talk about what it’s like from the patient side to experience DPC.
