What if all docs were on retainer?

Joseph Zebley, an FP in the Baltimore region, switched his practice to a retainer model where he charges patients an upfront, annual fee of $1,500. He also downsized his practice from 1,500 to 600. He encourages other doctors to do the same, as it has increased his income and allows him to spend more time with patients.
