S3E03 - Leaving the Bigs with Ryan Rourke

Healthcare Solutions

Do you know your doctor? Does your doctor know their own prices? What if you want to improve that situation? Would you be able to? Does your doctor even have the ability to innovate?

Ryan Rourke is a Senior Insurance Advisor, Sales Leader, and a Disciple of Disruption. Rourke has been consulting in the healthcare industry for over 20 years. He has worked with numerous market segments and industries. He’s been to the “Bigs” and seen success there. Now it’s time to bloom where he’s planted. Now, he works as a Senior Advisor with AMR Benefits Management, LLC, a much smaller, local, neighborly benefits consulting firm with a unique ability to evolve with his clients and innovate where they need it most.

Healthcare professional and host, Cristy Gupton, interviews Ryan Rourke about primary care. They discuss the importance of affordable healthcare, along with the importance of a strong connection between doctor and patient. Direct Primary Care is the perfect model allowing primary care physicians to improve access to care and the outcomes inherently found in a highly connected, mutually beneficial doctor-patient relationship. Employers should take a page out of the Direct Primary Care playbook to use in their own healthcare game plan. In the game of employers vs. the Bigs (i.e. big insurance, big hospitals, big pharma), a DPC play is like hitting a home run.
