Is Your DPC Actually Profitable? The Honest Financial Conversation with Osprey CFO

Most physicians who open a Direct Primary Care practice master the clinical side quickly. The harder part? Building a business that can actually sustain itself and pay you.

They cover: → The two financial problems that show up in nearly every DPC practice → Why the systems that worked when you opened stop working as you grow → The salary trap: why "I'll pay myself next month" is more dangerous than it sounds → How a $5 pricing adjustment can meaningfully change your bottom line → What financial partnership actually looks like vs. just having a bookkeeper → Why financial strength is your best protection against private equity 🌲 FREE DOWNLOAD: DPC Financial Decision-Making Tree Not sure what to outsource or when?
