In our ongoing series around the COVID-19 crisis, we plan each episode with the specific aim of delivering you, the listener, actionable items you can do right now. To ensure that during this crisis you can solidify and strengthen your business while continuing to serve your patients at the highest level, we're bringing you two of our favorite people in healthcare. Joining us today is David Goldhill, CEO of Sesame and Dr. Allison Edwards who runs a direct primary care facility, to talk about how you can adopt the right strategies for doctors to overcome this crisis.
Highlights
How a personal tragedy and a timely New Yorker article set David Goldhill on the path from being a top media exec to one of our leading voices in healthcare. Why incentives and priorities are a huge motivation and focus of David's research.
What we saw was an opportunity to create something of an alternative health economy outside of third party reimbursement.
David Goldhill
The Direct Primary Care Marketplace: A guide for practices and patients. The solution for high deductible patients you can't collect from.
We elected to not bill insurance in our clinic simply because we wanted to make sure that we were actually working for our patients as our customers.
Dr. Allison Edwards
Insurance made it difficult to treat patients: How helping under-served populations in an FQHC drove Dr. Edwards to DPC. The DPC Speed Advantage: How Dr. Edwards was able to adapt and pivot without having to convince government or insurers, she just had to convince her patients. The NEW Channels, Formats, and Expectations for the doctor-patient relationship. An overview of the video platform, payment, and scheduling with Sesame. What you can and can't do through Telemedince in Primary Care. A rundown of the Virtual Check-in Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
