The Dr. Mollie James Show

Dr. Matthew Bunte spent ten and a half years at a Kansas City health system. He liked the people he worked with and the research he was doing. So what made him leave and open an independent cardiology practice? Dr. Mollie James asks the founder of Arrowhead Cardiovascular Consultants what it actually took to open the doors. He explains why his vascular registry changed how he thought about prevention, who he called a year before opening, and how he and two colleagues ran the practice on day one. They also get into the decisions patients see firsthand. Who calls the referring doctor back? Which services can happen in the office? How do you find the direct-pay price when a practice also accepts insurance? In the comments, tell us one thing you wish your primary care doctor and specialist had discussed before your last visit.
