“Right now, the value-based care reward is coming into the payers far more than it’s coming into the providers.”
A primary care provider shortage is on the horizon. Between resolving coverage disputes, trying to get reimbursed for services, and limited time with patients, PCPs are burnt out.
But what if we reimagine the primary care payment model to work better for providers and patients?
In this episode, we sit down with Mary Tracy Mock to tackle one of the most urgent and complex issues in healthcare today: the state of primary care and the payment arrangements shaping its future. Mary is a seasoned healthcare executive and veteran of value-based arrangements.
We break down the pressing primary care workforce crisis, and how outdated reimbursement systems are contributing to provider burnout and could soon lead to primary care “deserts.” Mary makes a compelling case for a radical reimagining of how we value and pay for primary care — from capitation to Direct Primary Care (DPC) and beyond.
Whether you’re a policymaker, provider or patient, this conversation will challenge your assumptions — and offer real solutions!
