Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine—LECTURE: Freedom Healthworks: The Transition to Direct Primary Care

Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Room EC-130 Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences, Cold Spring Rd, Indianapolis, IN, United States

BRI Adam Habig Adam Habig of Freedom Healthworks

Direct Primary Care: Could it be your business model once you're a practicing physician? All are welcome to join BRI-Marian University chapter members for refreshments and to hear Adam Habig, co-founder of Freedom Healthworks speak about what made him interested in Direct Primary f-healthworks-logoCare (DPC), what DPC is, along with how his company is helping doctors in Indiana transition to DPC models. You can watch a short intro video to Freedom Healthworks here.

Adam Habig is a native of central Indiana with thirteen years of experience innovating within the realm of health care delivery. In 2003, Mr. Habig co-founded the biosciences technology firm ISPRIT Systems, which pioneered the use of a sophisticated information technology platform to better diagnose and manage complex chronic illness, ultimately ascending to the role of Chief Executive Officer of the firm. ISPRIT anticipated the elevation of chronic disease prevention and management as a chief cost control, ultimately attracting the attention of some of the world’s leading companies within the health insurance and diagnostics fields.

BRI Adam Habig Freedom HealthworksIn 2013, observing the rapid changes pervading healthcare delivery, Mr. Habig co-founded Freedom Healthworks to unleash the innovative potential of direct primary care on a broad scale. Our full service, turnkey model enables doctors to regain their freedom by joining the rapidly expanding movement to disentangle from the insurance and government-driven payment system. Physicians can once again deliver high quality care free of interference while setting prices their patients can afford. Patients regain the freedom to purchase routine primary care and preventive services (90% of all medical care) directly from their doctors for clear, standardized prices, while relegating insurance to its traditional role as a safeguard against catastrophic events. A licensed attorney, Mr. Habig maintains an independent law practice in addition to his leadership duties with Freedom Healthworks. He currently resides in Indianapolis with his wife, Megan.

SPN 23rd Annual Meeting, Grand Rapids, MI

Dr. Beth Haynes, BRI executive director, moderated a Docs 4 Patient Care panel on health policy in a breakout session. CON laws and other aspects of healthcare policy were discussed.

From the SPNAM.org official website: The SPN Annual Meeting started in 1993 in Traverse City, Michigan. A dozen people met in a room with the hope of building a robust network of state think tanks throughout the country. Today, the SPN Annual Meeting brings together over 900 people from around the country, including state and national leaders, influencers, and professionals.

We believe that being good enough is not enough to win in the rapidly evolving political environment. We can’t afford to be outgunned, outmanned and outspent. The future of the country depends on it.

That is why the State Policy Network has hosted the Annual Meeting for 23 years running.

This year, the Annual Meeting is returning to the state where it all started. Freedom fighters will gather in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with an intentional focus on developing the solutions and skills to advance freedom at both the state and national level. Through the lens of our 2015 theme – Experience Freedom – we will consider ways to sharpen our solutions and strategies and help our core audiences envision their need for freedom. We will inspire and challenge ourselves to give Americans opportunities to experience the benefits of freedom to their everyday lives.

The program focuses on building leaders, refining operations, cultivating excellent communication and outreach strategies, analyzing policy priorities and training top-notch fundraisers. The SPN Annual Meeting is also the only outlet where state and national leaders can chart collaborative strategies together. SPN purposefully creates an environment to facilitate connections and build coalitions.
