In this episode, we dive into the inner workings of a membership-based medicine clinic from inside the nation's 6th largest health system, Trinity Health. My exceptional guest is Dr. Bill Baer with Mercy Health Concierge Medicine in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Bill starts by sharing details of his journey into concierge medicine after starting off as a pharmacist. You might be surprised to hear who the biggest influencers were in driving him away from traditional fee-for-service care models. How dramatic are the differences in Dr. Baer's practice compared to an independent model? Should we expect more and more membership-based medicine models to pop-up across the Trinity Health network? What are Dr. Baer's perspectives on the future of membership-based medicine? Join this episode to hear those answers and much more.
