Confidence in #Delta Airlines totally shaken. Trapped in Albuquerque for 2+ days.

A6: I was surprised that nearly half of private physician practices were started from scratch (rather than by conversion). #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@MollyMaloofMD A5: Actually 80% spent less than $800/month. Not surprisingly, they attract patients from the same sources. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@ShereesePubHlth Thankfully, regulatory barriers are becoming less of a challenge. Many states passing laws to support DPC. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

A5: Financial sustainability remains an issue for both. Less for private physicians, but still an issue. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@JanetCabibbo Great point. The job falls to the practice to educate patients on the difference, and many are not good at it yet. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

A4: The biggest difference is the need for private physicians to actively market and sell in order to grow. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@JanetCabibbo It will be interesting to see the movement of functional medicine docs to membership models. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@PopHealthChick The survey stats certainly indicate you are right about the slow tsunami. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@MollyMaloofMD Excellent point. We are conditioned to think if insurance doesn't cover it, we don't need it. Not so. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@JohnSungKim I love the agile practice name. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

A3: One huge difference was the difference in staff challenges/retention. Private practices are clearly preferred by staff. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@Resultant Excellent point. We are living the oxymoron of the "insured, self-pay patient." It changes everything.
#kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

@ShereesePubHlth Totally agree. Part of the challenge is the mindset of primary care doctors. Money focus feels ugly to them. #kareochat

[Tom Blue @tom_blue]

It is increasingly clear that the only way to remain independent is to revisit the practice business model. #KareoChat
