Is there really a way to walk away from insurance & still run a profitable business?
My guest this week, Dr. Rob Lamberts is doing just that! He is the owner of a direct primary care practice in Augusta, GA. What is direct primary care? Basically, it involves the client or patient paying a flat fee (for Dr. Rob, it’s between $35-50/month) that gives them access to their primary care physician. No copays. No other out-of-pocket expenses. Just one, simple, clear, and defined fee that is pain every month.
