WellCraft Health seeks a Family Practice Physician to join their direct primary care model that offers better earnings, less administrative overhead, and improved work-life balance through a supportive, patient-centered environment. Physicians benefit from a salary plus patient enrollment revenue formula, with potential earnings exceeding $400,000 and a flexible four-day work week near Lake Gaston. This innovative practice model rejects traditional insurance-driven medicine, focusing on personalized care and financial sustainability.
Join The GREAT ESCAPE from Insurance Driven Medicine
We are seeking to employ a Family Physician who:
(1) desires a significantly better medical practice environment
(2) WILL HAVE GREATER earnings potential than health insurance dependent medical practices
- How? Earnings are comprised of Salary and Benefits. Salary is derived by a formula that Annually calculates Patient Enrollment Revenue minus (-) Operational Expenses
- Earnings? YOUR FIRST YEAR EARNINGS will be a guarnteeed minimum of $250,000. We will
be actively adding contracted business employees. As your primary Patient Enrollment increases,
so will your Annual Earnings. A Physician with 540 Enrollees will earn more than $400,000.
- Two years ago, a senior manager of an international corporation with a Roanoke Rapids
location approached us to develop an employee health program. We had to turn that
request down, an estimated $460,000 - $640,000 contract down because we did not have
sufficient professional medical staffing.
- March 2025 we were asked to join a national IPO being formed. In May, we turned the offer
down because we want to add additional professional medical talent, grow the company to
sufficient size so that each of our prospective partners efforts could be rewarded for their
efforts. Give us a call !
(3) wants to achieve a better work/life balance with a 4 day work week schedule
(4) longs to rekindle the joy of being a physician again through more personal medical care
(5) will have more control over their schedule w/ less admin overhead, lowering stress
(6) enjoy fun, sun, boating, nature, kayaking, and a large number of area events
(7) may be contemplating a future retirement location
We seek personable physicians with various skill sets and different experience bases who want to provide better medical outcomes for their patients AND enjoy their medical profession again. WellCraft Health is a supportive home for those who have become frustrated with what the medical system has become. Over 2,100 medical practices, like WellCraft Health, in the US are now direct pay medical practices who have rejected the health insurance driven model of medical care, now dominated by hospital systems and private equity firms.
Special Notes: We have financial stability & better earnings BECAUSE we contract directly with our patients, earning on average over $1300 per year per patient, and have low overhead. A family physician with a panel of 520 enrollees will earn over $400,000 AND enjoy Lake Gaston amenities.
Hit the water & enjoy life ! Let the big systems have the worries and the problems
Over 85% of primary care practices operated by hospital systems are financially subsidized by the hospital system. In 2024 and 2025, 62 hospitals were part of bankruptcy filings adversely affecting the employment of physicians in MI, IL, PA, MA, FL, NJ, AL, AR, TX, and LA. The hospitals most at risk are owned by private equity companies. We have no such concerns. We are free from insurance company billing overhead and have no risk from denial of 3rd party payments.
Health care's hidden problem: hospital primary care losses
"Health care is constantly evolving, and it s no secret that many hospitals are bleeding money when it comes to their primary care practices. On the low end, a hospital loses $127,000 per year on a primary care physician. Anecdotally, a rural hospital in Indiana expressed that they lose nearly $500,000 per year!"
A recent posting on X: Wall Street Apes on X: "IMPORTANT Starting October 1, 2025 Cigna Health Insurance announced they will start using an algorithm to automatically down code what physicians do to reduce payments THIS IS FRAUD, if a doctor up codes it s illegal, but CIgna decided they can make their own rules If you " / X
"DPC: the prescription for financial health (3rd party article from Kevin,MD Blog)
DPC practices provide an innovative solution to this conundrum. They operate on a profitable subscription-based model, where patients pay a monthly fee for comprehensive primary care services.
Why DPC works
Financial sustainability. DPC practices are financially sustainable, eliminating the losses associated with hospital-employed primary care. Physicians can focus solely on providing high-quality care to their patients.
Transparency and trust. DPC practices are transparent about their financial model, fostering trust between patients and physicians. Patients know exactly what they re paying.
Rural health care savior. Since DPC practices only need a few hundred patients to be profitable, they are able to operate in areas that a hospital-subsidized practice cannot. DPC practices are a lifeline for rural hospitals. They can partner with these hospitals to provide primary care services, ensuring that rural communities have access to essential health care."
To Our Prospective Family Physicians:
Mid Career Physicians: The nature of primary care has changed. Primary care has largely become the realm of advanced practitioners. Almost 50% of primary care physicians in several national surveys have become disenchanted with their chosen profession and the direction of medicine. The doctors indicated a desire for less stress, more satisfaction, better earnings, and better Work / Life balance.
WellCraft Health is a GREAT opportunity to get off the gerbil wheel and LOVE being a doctor again, with easier hours and BETTER compensation. The future of family medicine is direct primary care.
New Graduates: Dr Carol Rupe is a former USAF and USUHS FP residency instructor, a mentor, and a national expert in family medicine, women's health, and senior health. We plan to implement a four day work week WITHOUT twelve hour days. There is no place better to build your career and future earnings than at WellCraft Health. It is definitely worth a phone call or email inquiry.
Senior physicians: Lake Gaston is an excellent area to retire in. Extend your career with an easier schedule, fewer hours, and a more supportive medical environment. Part time employment options will be available. We need a full time physician first because we have more demand than we can fill.
Physicans seeking part time employment: Please keep our contact info. Drop us a note. We plan to add this capability in the future.
