Hey Rob, this piece is super helpful perspective on DPC growth, thanks for sharing. I assume in cross-subsidizing, you are mostly referring to these providers running “hybrid” DCP practices, where they bill to insurance in a typical FFS model for part of their patient base?
Would also love to know how you’ve gotten in touch with DPC docs
I haven't personally seen a lot of hybrid DPC practices that also bill insurance. The cases of cross-subsidization I have seen come from outside of their own practice. A couple examples that seem more common: (1) moonlighting in a more traditional practice/health system/urgent care, or (2) their spouse makes a large income (often also a doctor).
I've mostly met DPC docs through people I met in health tech communities, my network, as well as through my own doctor.
