Why Direct Primary Care is the Future (#345)

Dr. Paul Thomas returns to highlight the momentum behind the Direct Primary Care movement and the revolutionary opportunities to break out of the insurance-based primary care model.  All that, plus the Flava of the Week about CVS Health’s new plans to locate Oak Street Health centers side-by-side with pharmacies. Does this latest announcement by a payvider signal that there is a new opportunity for profitable, consumer-first care, and how could it impact the rest of the ecosystem along the way?  This show is produced by Shift Forward Health, the consumer advisory firm that helps providers operationalize consumer-first health.
