In June, Kareo partnered with the American Academy of Private Physicians (AAPP) to launch the Practice Model Perspectives Survey. This survey sought to gain a better understanding of independent physicians’ perceptions around various payment models, including private pay, concierge and traditional fee-for-service. The results of the survey were released at the AAPP 2015 Fall Summit on September 25.

While the survey shows that there are challenges and benefits for both private and conventional practice models, it also showcases a changing mindset among independent providers. Over 45% of providers said they were considering a switch to a direct pay, concierge, or other membership models in the next three years.
