Breaking the Insurance Mold in America

I can't wait for you to hear from today's guests, Drs. Jana and Lara Baatenburg. These sisters stuck together through their undergraduate degrees, into med school, and even into their residencies. They now own their own practice where they employ a unique type of medical care: concierge medicine.

After a few years practicing, they both knew they wanted the opportunity for a more personal connection with their patients. While the sisters explored a few other possibilities, they ultimately landed on "concierge medicine," essentially a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly or annual "membership fee."

This practice style allows doctors to have fewer overall patients, giving them more time to focus on each patient individually. It also allows them to be a lot more accessible to their patients if they need to be seen last-minute. And, in many cases, the membership fee can actually cost less than insurance premiums while providing a higher level of individualized care.

Join us as we dive into Jana and Lara's world of patient-focused healthcare that thrives outside "traditional" practice models.
