We run a primary care clinic. The specific type of clinic we run is called "direct primary care". There are around 800 clinics like ours in the United States but the service is generally catered to the wealthy. For more details about the scope of practice you can read the following link.[0] When we cannot provide a service in house we usually help someone navigate the medical system. There is a lot of information asymmetry when dealing with healthcare and we help even that out for our clients. We also partner with other companies to get reduced prices on imaging, labs, and other services.
I don't believe you can run an entire hospital on this model. Hospitals/insurance are best suited for unpredictable events. Our model is great for chronic and predictable events.
