Would your practice survive if you took a were no longer in it?

While it’s easy to pick on concierge medicine practice for its highly visible moniker, small medical offices outside of this niche space are often more guilty of this than concierge practices. Here are ten compelling reasons why this marketing strategy is flawed:   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   While concierge medicine aims to deliver exceptional care, making the physician the product can lead to significant setbacks. To succeed, practices must prioritize relationships, foster teamwork, and emphasize patient outcomes. By adopting a balanced approach that values both the physician’s expertise and the contributions of the broader healthcare team, concierge medicine can achieve lasting success and genuinely serve its patients.   1. Unrealistic Expectations Could Lead to Burnout   Prioritizing the doctor as a product places immense pressure on physicians, contributing to burnout—affecting nearly 42% of doctors (Maslach et al., 2018). A physician who is overwhelmed can’t provide the high-quality care patients deserve. On the one hand, it doesn’t take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it’s far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   2. Erosion of Personal Connection Reducing physicians to products undermines essential personal relationships crucial to healthcare. Strong patient-physician bonds foster trust and lead to better health outcomes (Hojat et al., 2011). If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   3. Increased Competition for Patient Loyalty This model promotes a focus on attracting new patients rather than nurturing existing ones, jeopardizing long-term relationships. Personalized care strategies tend to yield better retention than mere marketing tactics.   4. Unsustainable Business Models Investing heavily in the physician's image rather than improving patient care systems often leads to unstable business practices (MGMA, 2020).   5. Unrealistic Patient Expectations Marketing healthcare around a physician’s capabilities can foster unrealistic expectations, leaving patients disappointed when their complex needs aren't met. If you were no longer working and kicked out of the practice tomorrow, what would be left of your practice -- would it and could it survive without you?!   6. Neglect of Team-Based Care Emphasizing the individual physician sidelines the contributions of the healthcare team, compromising overall quality. Effective care requires collaboration among all team members (McGlynn et al., 2003).   7. Misguided Investment in Technology When the focus is on the physician, practices may overlook necessary investments in technology that enhance care and efficiency, ultimately affecting patient satisfaction (Albrecht et al., 2019). On the one hand, it doesn’t take long to resent the relentless pressure and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, it’s far too easy to get addicted to them – to like being at the center too much. Way too much.   8. Diminished Patient Diversity An overemphasis on a single physician can narrow patient demographics, reducing the practice's accessibility and diversity, which are crucial for enriching healthcare.   9. Revenue Over Care Focus When financial gain becomes the primary driver, patient satisfaction often declines. Research underscores that patient-centric practices yield better health outcomes and greater cost-effectiveness (National Academy of Medicine, 2019).   10. Missed Opportunities for Continuous Improvement Focusing solely on the doctor can stifle innovation. Continuous education and system enhancements are vital in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.   Disclaimers: THIS SITE AND ANY OTHER CMT MANAGED OR OWNED WEB PROPERTY by Concierge Medicine Today, LLC (herein CMT) DOES NOT OFFER MEDICAL, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially

Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially, but the number may grow in the future when HSA-qualified plan enrollees realize how cost certainty for primary care, a focus on maintaining health, and assistance in navigating other care based on price and quality dovetail with their financial and medical goals.   By William G. (Bill) Stuart | July 3, 2025   The Senate finished its version of the reconciliation bill and sent it to the next step in the legislative process. Which Health Savings Account provisions survived the upper chamber?   The Senate has been busy for nearly a month since the House of Representatives sent a reconciliation bill to the upper chamber for review. A reconciliation bill is particularly important because it can pass the Senate with 51 (of 100 or 101) votes. In contrast, all other bills must have a 60-vote majority if the minority demands that standard.   RELATED INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE AND INSIGHTS October 16-18, 2025 Industry's Annual Conference   The House bill contained 10 provisions to expand or enhance Health Savings Accounts. Of the 10, only two survived the final Senate vote of 51-50 earlier this week. In addition, the Senate added a topic that was not addressed by the House.

New HSA Provisions and Who Bears The Weight of Education In Your DPC Practice

The second provision solves a somewhat arcane HSA problem for individuals and families that have a special arrangement with their primary care doctor, known as a “direct primary care” arrangement.  Under these arrangements, people pay their doctor a monthly (or annual) fee instead of paying their doctor only when they are seen in person.  Today, DPC arrangements disqualify Americans from contributing to an HSA because the arrangements are incompatible with the current rules for eligibility to contribute to an HSA.  No longer, starting January 1, 2026.   By HSA Consulting Services; July 2025   To be sure, only three provisions passed the Congress today rather than ten provisions which passed the House six weeks ago.  Such is the “sausage making” process of writing laws.  However, the three provisions that did pass should have a big impact on millions more Americans and on how health care is financed in this country.  Here is a quick summary of these provisions.   RELATED INSIGHTS | PODCAST | JULY 2025 (LISTEN TO LATEST EPISODE ON THIS TOPIC)   Summary Opinions and First Glance POVs Note: "The law places a limit on DPC membership fees at $150 per month for individuals (or $300 for families). While this cap makes DPC more financially accessible to a broader audience, it also restricts providers’ ability to charge for more comprehensive services that could reflect the quality and availability of care. This limit may dissuade some quality DPC practices from expanding their offerings, potentially leading to a lack of diversity in services; The law defines DPC coverage strictly as primary care services delivered by a primary care provider. However, services requiring general anesthesia, prescription medications (other than vaccines), and certain lab tests don’t fall within this coverage. This limitation might lead to confusion and dissatisfaction among patients who expect a more comprehensive level of care." (Latest Episode on this topic)   "Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially, but the number may grow in the future when HSA-qualified plan enrollees realize how cost certainty for primary care, a focus on maintaining health, and assistance in navigating other care based on price and quality dovetail with their financial and medical goals." ~B.

The [Patient] Churn Concern

"Focus on the why people stay — not just that they can leave."   By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   Why are some small medical offices in low cost (i.e. sub $99/pmpm) cash-only subscription-based healthcare delivery talking so much [in the past year I've noticed!] about "the churn", "you can leave at anytime" or telling patients, "There's the door!" -- Every medical office has those difficult patients, I get it. Subscription-based care works best when it builds continuity and trust over time and sometimes that's just not possible with some people. Let's take a lesson from some of the best subscription models (like Netflix, Apple, Concierge Medicine, Executive Healthcare programs, Spotify) -- they don't constantly remind customers [ie patients] they can cancel — they focus on why the product is worth staying FOR!   "It's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients and FOR your local community!"   If you're building or promoting a subscription-based medical practice, focus on the why people stay — not just that they can leave.   LISTEN TO FULL EPISODE ...

"Welcome to an easier way to pay for healthcare."

"When I was in grad school Mark Zuckerberg rented my house to move 'TheFacebook' to California as seen in The Social Network." ~Andy Schoonover, CEO, CrowdHealth   LISTEN TO FULL PODCAST EPISODE LEARN MORE, Visit: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/   CrowdHealth provides you a portfolio of tools, seamlessly woven together, that creates a beautiful, low cost healthcare solution. We help you find awesome doctors, negotiate your bills, and fund those bills through a peer to peer funding platform...for less. Welcome to an easier way to pay for healthcare. 🧡   Founder's Story   I'm Andy, the founder of CrowdHealth, and I've seen firsthand the failures of the health insurance system. Years ago, my daughter battled recurring ear infections and a ruptured eardrum. After a necessary, albeit quick, procedure, I was slapped with an $8,000 bill. Our insurance company refused to pay, deeming it "medically unnecessary." Despite doing everything right, the insurance I had trusted in left us high and dry when we needed it most. That's when I realized the system was broken and decided to create CrowdHealth, a more compassionate and reliable alternative to pay for healthcare. Traditional health insurance is often impersonal and unreliable, with twisted incentives. At CrowdHealth, we're changing the narrative. We treat our members like family, assisting them on their health journey, and managing their bills at an affordable cost. We're creating a system where the focus is on keeping our members healthy, rather than profiting from their illnesses. Our goal is to redefine the meaning of "healthcare" in our society. The sad truth is, each year, 250,000 people with insurance declare bankruptcy due to medical bills. It's a clear sign that the existing system isn't working and serves to benefit the pockets of the medical industrial complex. Frustrated with the lack of justifiable reasons, I've stopped seeking answers and decided to build a better solution. And that’s what CrowdHealth is all about.   LEARN MORE, Visit: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/   CrowdHealth is a financial technology company, not a bank.

New Legal Considerations Ep. 🎙️ Concierge Medicine is Creating a Splash from the Windy City 💨 to the Sunshine ☀️😎 State:

Jonna D. Eimer is a health law and corporate attorney and shareholder at Roetzel & Andress in Chicago, Illinois. She represents numerous concierge medicine practices and has extensive experience with other innovative practice models. She also advises her clients – including physicians and physician groups, dentists, behavioral health clinicians, and other health care providers – in forming new practices, selling established practices, and negotiating employment and shareholder agreements, as well as guiding them with respect to regulatory matters. In addition, she counsels clients in forming management services organizations (MSOs) and navigating these sales to private equity. She can be reached at jeimer@ralaw.com.   By Jonna D. Eimer, Roetzel & Andress   Concierge medicine is on the rise, especially in the “snowbird” states like Florida, as practices and hospitals from Chicago and elsewhere have opened concierge practices to serve their patient populations in these warm locations. As these concierge style medicine practices continue to grow all over the country in primary care, pediatrics, women’s health and other specialties, practices need to be particularly mindful of the different legal considerations that affect these new practice models. Because patient membership fees are often paid in advance and the patient agreement usually contemplates a personal relationship with increased access to a certain physician, there are different legal challenges and practice issues that should be addressed at the outset of these practices.   Access the Full Interview (iTunes): LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW WITH JONNA D.

Eimer is a health law and corporate attorney and shareholder at Roetzel & Andress in Chicago, Illinois. © 2024 Roetzel & Andress. Photo Used With Permission.   The concierge model generally relies on increased access and time for patients because physicians have typically accepted fewer patients. Because of this, it can be very difficult to figure out the fairest way to negotiate a partner’s exit and how these patients and fees paid would transfer in the event of such departure. Does the partner get paid only in a buy-out of the whole practice or will the practice buy-out the individual partner upon his or her termination? Would this be handled differently in the case of a retirement? Would the practice consider a buy-out only if another physician can be substituted and take over the patient panel? How then is the new provider paid if fees have already been collected for a given year? It is possible the patients reject the substitute physician regardless of the departing physician’s recommendation.   Oftentimes, the agreements governing the practice’s operations include long notice provisions prior to any termination or retirement because it is not easy to substitute another concierge doctor if one leaves. Also, the patients have paid for the personal relationship and membership with their own doctor, so they do not always feel that this relationship transfers to another doctor. Another thing to consider is if a doctor terminates or unexpectedly dies or becomes disabled and a new doctor cannot cover their patients, what happens to patient fees that have already been collected? The practice needs to consider whether these fees are returned to patients and then whether a new membership agreement is entered into with the new physician. All these considerations need to be addressed in the initial stages of the company’s operations.   Cost Sharing/Expenses   Another issue confronting concierge practices is cost sharing and how to divide expenses in this type of practice models. Practices must decide if they are allocating costs based on each physician’s patient panel size or based on their respective ownership percentages of the practice. Once you allow for different panel sizes, these differences can become quite problematic, and physicians can end up disagreeing on the fair allocation of these costs. Confronting these differences early in the formation of the practice and providing for them in the practice’s operating documents can help avoid difficult and costly conflicts later for the partners.   Sales to Third Parties   Physician owners in a concierge practice also need to consider at the formation of a practice how the profits of the practice will be divided in the case of a sale to a third party. Will profits be divided based on a physician’s ownership in the practice or based on an individual physician’s production and fee generation? If a practice has providers with vastly different production and patient panel sizes, then this is important to consider because the higher producing partner may want a sale to a third party to take into account these differences. Another partner may feel strongly that profits should be divided based on ownership percentages in the practice entity, which may be equal even if the providers have different numbers of patients. Frequently, the potential buyer has their own considerations for valuing the practices and may ascribe different values to each physician’s practice. The buyer may base its valuation of the practice on patient panel size and fees generated by each individual physician.   Regulatory Considerations   Concierge practices typically charge a fee for membership in their practice, which generally allows patients increased access to the physicians and their services. If the practice is accepting Medicare and/or commercial insurance, the fee cannot be charged for any service already covered by Medicare or insurance. Additionally, if the practice accepts commercial insurance, the fee must be scrutinized to be sure it is allowed under any agreement with a commercial payor of the practice. Some payor agreements may specifically prohibit any patient fee for membership in a practice. Some practices have reached out to their commercial payors directly when converting to a concierge practice and have had these commercial payors review and approve their patient agreements and membership fees.   Coverage and Licensing Concerns   Because of the unique access provided to concierge patients, some practices have added special coverage when these patients are out of state or on vacation. In light of their patients who winter in warmer climates, like Florida, California and Arizona, some practices have partnered with other concierge practices in these states to offer services to their “snowbird” patients. Health systems are taking advantage of these practice models also. For instance, Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine opened a concierge medicine office in Naples, Florida, and Ohio-based Cleveland Clinic also has opened concierge medicine practices in multiple Florida locations. Doctors, however, need to be aware that they need to be licensed in the state where the patient resides. Due to these licensing considerations, some concierge physicians are also obtaining licenses in other states to cover patients that often spend their winters in these warmer states.   Final Thoughts   The above issues are just some of the unique considerations facing concierge practices from Chicago to Florida and other states as well. Because each concierge practice has unique patient fee agreements to consider, there is not a “one size fits all” approach to advising these practices. Concierge practices should not overlook the unique legal and practice issues facing them, from patient fee issues to physician departures. These models have a variety of legal challenges that should be addressed at the early stages of the practice, so they do not lead to partner and patient discord later on.   Connect with Jonna D.
