Send us Fan Mail What if the next big opportunity for your direct specialty care practice is working directly with local employers? Businesses spend thousands of dollars on employee healthcare every month, yet their employees may wait months to see a specialist. Meanwhile, you might have appointments available just minutes away. In EP 245, I’m breaking down why direct contracting with self-funded employers could be the next frontier for specialists. Learn how this model works, why employers may benefit from transparent pricing and faster access to care, and how you can start connecting with local businesses and benefits brokers. Direct specialty care isn’t just about building your own practice. It’s about becoming a valuable healthcare resource for your community. The opportunity is here. Are you ready to build it?
