Ever wonder about our business model? Today Nick Soman breaks it all down. Read his post to learn more. ⤵️
Healthcare is funny because you can talk about the broken system all day long, but it's considered tacky to ask people how they make money. You might ruin the Busta Rhymes after party at #HLTH tomorrow if you interrupted "Gimme Some More" to ask who's paying the bills. 💸 Well, I'm tacky. So how does Decent make money? We DON'T accept kickbacks 💰, charge a % of savings based on made up numbers 📈, take commission on stop loss sales 🛑, make backroom exclusive deals for cash 🤑, or treat our families to lavish vacations on Big Insurance's dime 🏝️ (sorry Anna). INSTEAD, we give the employers we serve two options: 1) Pay the lowest possible rate for your Decent plan (typically 30-40% less than market, INCLUDING the cost of Direct Primary Care), and pay us a fixed admin fee per employee to help us cover our costs. If claims costs end up lower than expected, we keep the difference. 🕺 OR 2) Pay a bit more for your Decent plan to cover a slightly higher fixed admin fee. If claims costs end up lower than expected, you keep the difference. 💃 You can decide. We're happy either way. Both of these options motivate everyone to support your health throughout the year, so we can get you a great renewal 12 months from now too. It's all part of our diabolical plan to earn your trust and your business forever. Want to learn more, or get a quote for your small business or small business clients?

In honor of #NationalBossDay, we are celebrating one of DPC's truest bosses, Dr. Garrison Bliss. Our team had the privilege of meeting this healthcare pioneer at Hint Health Summit, and we're inspired by his unwavering commitment to transforming healthcare. Dr. Bliss, often hailed as the father of Direct Primary Care (DPC), embarked on a revolutionary journey in 1997 when he left traditional fee-for-service medicine. His mission? To create a healthcare model that prioritizes ethics, effectiveness, and the doctor-patient relationship above all else. Want to learn more about what makes Dr. Bliss a true boss in the DPC movement? Read his full interview on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/g7Sqgc9n Here's to Dr. Bliss and all the other healthcare innovators who are reshaping the future of medicine! 🙌 #DirectPrimaryCare #HealthcareInnovation #NationalBossDay

"To be a movement, you need to be solving a really really horrible problem for a large number of people. And it needs to be bigger than you." Loved talking about why we are building Decent, closing 50% of deals when we hit our price targets, and going into hypergrowth now after 7 years of grinding. 🚀 Brett Stapper asks fun questions like "Why is healthcare so f*cked?" (perverse incentives AKA everyone except the patient makes money when costs go up) and "How do we unf*ck it?" (take the power back, which we aim to do as an arms dealer to the Direct Primary Care movement) and "Which group in the ecosystem is most evil?" (the finance department at UnitedHealthcare). Featuring shout outs to Health Rosetta, Hint Inc., Chantal Rousseau, Jessica McCartin, FNP-C, CME, Laura Bock and QED Investors, Zach Noorani and Foundation Capital, Tomer London and Gusto, my wife and family, Rainer Maria Rilke, and the whole Decent team. Thank you all for your hard work, belief, and patience. 💪 I swore too much again - sorry dad - but I don't always get my point across well on these things and I did here. I hope you enjoy.

I am sitting in the audience with hundreds of Direct Primary Care clinicians at #HintSummit watching our relentlessly curious purple-haired VP of Product Sandy Dedo absolutely deliver talking about how Decent supports DPC. Last night Decent's Head of Direct Primary Care Dr. Ben Aiken won DPC of the Year for his work at Lantern Health. Both are among the best in the world at what they do and are dear friends. The night before we hosted a dinner with the founders and early luminaries of DPC, including Garrison Bliss and Clint Flanagan, MD and Mark Tomasulo DO, along with up and coming docs like Maryal Concepcion, MD FAAFP, Jonathan Bushman DO, James Gaor, Emilie Scott, Kyle Rickner and many others. The single best thing about building Decent right now is the feeling of being part of something bigger than ourselves. DPC is truly a movement, it's growing like a flower, and it's the best shot we've seen in our lifetimes at fixing what's broken in healthcare. And Decent itself is now so much bigger than me and my cofounder Richard. Thank you Sandy, Ben, and the thousands of people supporting Decent and building this movement together. I feel so grateful.
