One of the biggest trends in healthcare is cash-based practices… Direct primary care, concierge medicine, and other types of medical practices that are opting OUT of the payor system. This approach allows healthcare providers to spend more time with their patients and less time dealing with red tape. So how does this affect your malpractice insurance? Are there any benefits to going cash-only? Are there any drawbacks from a medmal perspective? Well, in today’s episode we’re going to talk about malpractice insurance for cash-based medical practices. We’ll give you the information you need to get covered correctly AND make sure you’re taking advantage of all available discounts.
