Open Enrollment for Employers' DPC Patients
Before employees chose your DPC clinic they will have to go through an “open enrollment” process. This process occurs yearly and allows time for benefits advisors and employers to explain all the employee benefits. These are usually long, boring meetings but do offer critical time for employees to ask questions and understand their health plans. Getting involved in this open enrollment process is a must for DPC docs as it is crucial for starting a relationship with employees (and employers -- they will be patients too).
You should ask the employer and the benefits advisor to keep you involved and plan for time off to attend those meetings. Ideally, they will allow you time to speak at open enrollment to share your DPC passion with employees. Plan to be available to answer employee questions at the end of this meeting.
(This will likely blow employers’ and employees’ minds, as they have never had a physician actually come speak to them about anything -- let alone about increasing access to care and lowering costs!)
Open enrollment meetings are a great time to “meet and greet” some potential new patients!
