For family medicine physicians launching independent practices.
Family medicine launches — solo, group, DPC, concierge, and integrated full-spectrum models.
The blueprint applies. The details shift.
Family medicine economics mirror primary care broadly but with added complexity from broader scope (peds, OB in some practices, geriatrics). DPC and direct primary care are particularly viable in family medicine.
Phase-by-phase shifts.
Model choice (FFS vs. DPC vs. concierge) is central. Scope decisions (peds inclusion, OB inclusion) also matter.
See the full Phase 01 guide →Pro forma should reflect actual scope — full-spectrum family medicine has different volume math than narrower primary care.
See the full Phase 02 guide →Marketing benefits from being explicit about scope and population (full family vs. adult-only).
See the full Phase 06 guide →Start with the phase that matches where you are.
