Episode Description

Primary care physicians are burning out, and patients are paying the price. With the average primary care visit lasting just 15 minutes, the volume-based treadmill is pushing doctors out of the profession and leaving patients without meaningful, preventive care. 

Larry Kutscher, CEO of MDVIP, joins host John Marchica to make the case for a fundamentally different model. They dig into why membership medicine may be the structural fix that value-based care never delivered, and how reducing patient panels from thousands to hundreds could be the key to restoring both physician fulfillment and long-term patient outcomes.
