Simplifying Healthcare: Dr. Blake Hansen's Journey to Direct Primary Care
In the latest episode of Doing Business Right, our host, Dr. Bryan Raya, sits down with Dr. Blake Hansen, the founder of Simplified Health DPC. Dr. Hansen's journey from a teenager disinterested in medicine to a passionate advocate for patient-centric healthcare is a story worth listening to.
A Twist of Fate
Dr. Blake Hansen didn't always dream of becoming a physician. In his teenage years, medicine was far from his mind. It wasn't until he embarked on a church mission trip that he discovered his love for helping people. The experience opened his eyes to the profound impact healthcare professionals can have on individuals and communities.
The Frustration with Traditional Healthcare
After completing his medical training, Dr. Hansen joined a traditional healthcare practice in Springdale. However, he quickly became disillusioned with the system's shortcomings. The lack of price transparency, limited appointment availability, and insurance company bureaucracy left both him and his patients frustrated.
Creating Simplified Health DPC
Driven by a desire to provide better care, Dr. Hansen took matters into his own hands. He founded Simplified Health DPC, a membership-based direct primary care practice that focuses on simplifying healthcare for patients. Members pay just $79 per month and gain unlimited access to Dr. Hansen for same-day or next-day appointments, telehealth consultations, labs, injections, and more—all without copays or billing surprises. He's even gone the extra mile by adding an in-house pharmacy to enhance the practice's value.
Advocating for Patients
One of Dr. Hansen's core beliefs is that patients should always come first. While he handles most primary care needs, he encourages his patients to maintain catastrophic insurance coverage for surgeries and emergencies. He shared a heartwarming story about preventing an unnecessary ER visit for a patient suffering from a severe migraine. Dr. Hansen's dedication to being a patient advocate sets him apart.
Doing Business Right: A Focus on Customer Service
Dr. Hansen's approach to doing business right centers on delivering exceptional customer service and patient care. He firmly believes that prioritizing patient satisfaction will ultimately drive revenue and lead to word-of-mouth referrals. His message is clear: invest in your product, invest in your customer service, and honest revenue will follow.
