The numbers nobody asks about
You can ask the DPC physician down the street about her EMR, her panel size, her lab pricing. Asking what she pays herself is a different conversation, and most physicians never have it. Enter five numbers you already know and see the arithmetic on your own practice.

Your arithmetic
No benchmarks, no scoring. Just your numbers, worked out.
What a rate change is worth
Most owners have never seen this number for their own practice.

Four questions worth asking before December
- When was the membership rate last changed, and what has happened to costs since?
- Is what you pay yourself running through payroll the way it should be?
- What do the last three months of cash look like, separate from the bank balance?
- What has to be true in the numbers before adding a physician?
The year-end calendar is on its way to your inbox, and it lays out when to look at each of these. A tax plan takes about 60 days to build, and strategies have to be in place before December 31 to count for the tax year, which puts the real decision point in late October.
The firm behind this month's episode
Goodman CPA works exclusively with Direct Care practices. Membership revenue, enrollment fees, cash pay pricing, employer contracts: no explaining how any of it works.
Every client gets a team of three, a CFO, an advisor, and an associate, so someone always knows the practice rather than looking it up.
My DPC Story listeners get 25% off the onboarding fee on full service. No code needed. Book through the link and mention the podcast on the call.
Named results are what happened for those practices, not a projection for anyone else. No direct tax or legal advice is being given.
How these are calculated
Annual membership revenue is your monthly rate times active members times twelve. It excludes enrollment fees, ancillary income, and employer contracts. The members-needed figure is your annual running costs plus the pay you named, divided by twelve months of membership at your current rate, and it does not account for tax, enrollment revenue, or costs that grow with panel size. Real practices are messier than this. These figures are a starting point for a conversation, not a plan.
