The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast

Today we sit down with KHANG T. VUONG, Founder and Chief Executive of Mira, the first open-access primary care network for uninsured and under-insured. Mira (e.g. www.TalktoMira.com), is the only open-access primary care network caters to 86 million uninsured and underinsured Americans.   Mira provides both upfront pricing appointment and low-cost monthly subscription for unlimited primary care visits at a fraction of insurance premiums.   To better understand this, TalktoMira is not an app. Mira is a personal health assistant who can be called upon via a phone, text, or simply on the Web 24/7 and everywhere you are. Instead of relying on an outdated doctor directory or making multiple phone calls, TalktoMira’s intelligent search algorithm only recommends options that work for the users.   TalktoMira doesn’t tie users into a membership if they don’t want one; users have the option to become a member or to use the platform when health needs arise.   In today's interview with Mr. Vuoung, we discuss: Help Doctors, Healthcare Executives and Patients Understand the technology of Mira TalktoMira's mission is to bring immediate, high quality, and affordable primary care to 86 million uninsured and under-insured Americans.   That's a big mission ... how will Mira move the needle in a crowded environment? The challenges Physicians face when approaching the care and treatment of the Millennial and Gen Y patient population(s). How and Why Healthcare Mobile Apps Are Working In Today's DTC economy?   How a New AI Virtual Assistant Helps Uninsured Find Affordable, Cash-Based Primary Care Services? How will mobile technology impact the payment relationship between insurance companies, doctors and patients? According to a recent article about Mira in Mobile Marketing & Technology, Cash patients often don’t know which doctors they can turn to for care, and often can’t find affordable prices for care.   TalktoMira works directly with doctors to get its users the best possible prices, regardless of insurance status. This provides people who can’t afford paying $3,000- $4,000 per year in insurance premiums an alternative to access basic healthcare. As 50 percent of healthcare access is how patients get to the doctor’s office, Mira also helps consumers figure out the most optimal options based on his or her location, surrounding traffic, and the wait time of each facility.[1]   Khang T. Vuong, the founder and CEO, who previously served as the corporate resident to the system CFO of a large, multi-state health system, has an essential role in the venture bringing his expertise in healthcare finance to help uninsured patients simplify the health delivery system.   Previously Corporate Fellow at a $8.5B health system with 43 hospitals reporting directly to the system CFO/EVP. Vuong also holds a Masters of Health Adminsitration from George Washington University. B.S. Biology Pre-Med, MBA from The University of Tennessee.   Email: khangv@talktomira.com   Vuong says, “U.S. healthcare is undeniably complex and confusing, especially for those who are without an insurance. Imagine having to navigate through the system with a hundred-degree fever, just to find out there is a long wait, or having to choose between your weekly grocery bill and a doctor appointment.” He adds, “This is so deeply personal to me because I came to the U.S. at a young age without my parents, and I went through this experience countless times myself.”[1]   Mira is rolling out its platform nationally now. Users can sign up for free early access directly on www.talktomira.com.   Primary care doctors are encouraged to become part of the network through the affiliation program.   Cited Sources   1. https://mobilemarketingandtechnology.com/2019/03/28/new-ai-virtual-assistant-helps-uninsured-find-affordable-cash-based-primary-care-services/ 2. www.DirectPrimaryCare.com 3. www.TalktoMira.com 4. www.ConciergeMedicineToday.com   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Each day, we receive countless requests from Patients online searching specifically for a Concierge Medicine Doctor.   Some of the comments they left included: “The Staff Is Difficult To Work With” “I Feel Like A Number” “He/She Spends Less Than 15-Min. w/ me per visit.” “Not thorough in tests” Patient Fatigue or Patient Burnout is all to real and unfortunately a number today no one even tracks.   If this saddens you or moves your spirit in any way, there’s hope. There’s hope because it means you and others like you care enough to try to change the status quo verses defend it. Simply stated, Concierge Medicine is a subscription-based or membership medicine healthcare delivery business model where the Physician is purposeful and intentional about blending certain characteristics of service and medical expertise into the rhythm of his/her organization and medical practice environment.   That may include: Finding unique ways to collaborate and communicate with Patients more thoroughly and effectively; Address specific healthcare needs and questions whenever they arise; It is a place where the Physician partners with each Patient individually to create a preventive lifestyle planning solution that is flexible and obtainable; It is a safe, comfortable, inviting, friendly and professional medical environment; It is a setting whereby the Physician loans his/her time, talent, expertise and resources to needs of the Patient.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Have you ever sat across from a Patient, a loved one or maybe a family member during the holidays and heard their story about how they overcame an illness, cancer or seemingly impossible health crisis? Usually they talk about the people and the individuals that were put into their path along the way. “   Then I met Dr. Smith … then she did this and this …” Or, “Then he introduced me to and told me to …”   We’ve probably never heard a story without a relational component. There’s always a mention of that Doctor, that specialist or that nurse. How can more Doctors be fully present? How can Doctors with all of the weight you carry into the practice and into the exam room elevate and dignify [verb: make (something) seem worthy and impressive] the Patient relationship?   Here are some additional questions that might help as well. In your practice today, ask yourself these questions:   - Am I making it easy to see the Doctor? - Is my team/staff equipped and forthright about what and where they see we can improve? - Have I given my team/staff permission to show me where we can improve? - How can we better navigate and serve Patients through the IN-BETWEEN moments in our practice? - Have I given my staff permission to look for those in between moments and act upon them? - How can we make our practice safer? (e.g. less germs; improved lighting; local artwork) - How can we make our office more predictable? (e.g. Schedule; time spent waiting; etc.) - IN A TRADITIONAL, PLAN-REIMBURSED Medical Office, Typically, your staff are the bookends [e.g. first and last people a Patient encounters] how can you make the “Farewell” more significant? - Here’s a thought/consideration … —What if … “I (the doctor) were the bookends … e.g. being the first and last person my patients see.” ? - If I am looking for unique ways to improve … is it really going to be better and what would make that change unique?   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.
