After working as an employed physician in a major hospital system for 8 years, Dr. Jeffrey Gold began to get increasingly frustrated with the bureaucracy of insurance-based medicine that resulted in less of his time spent on caring for his patients in the way he envisioned since he was considering medicine as a career. In 2014, he opened the first independent Direct Primary Care practice in Massachusetts – Gold Direct Care PC. Based in Salem, MA he currently cares for 700 patients and has an Internal Medicine physician partner and recently added a Family NP. He has also formed a side business called the Starseed Group LLC which hopes to have DPC doctors, benefits advisers, TPAs, and self-funded employers collaborate to build employer sponsored plans that have DPC as the “seed” of the plan with direct contracting for all other services. Dr. Gold has been intimately involved in helping other MA primary doctors escape the fee for service world and MA now has approximately 15 independent DPC physicians. He is a co-founder in both the New England DPC Alliance as well as National DPC Alliance. He also is a member of the Direct Primary Coalition. Join this conversation as he shares more of his story and what his advocacy is all about.
