After a high-impact first day of Hint Summit @ RosettaFest, the energy only builds. Day 2 dives even deeper into the future of Direct Primary Care, exploring advanced strategies, cross-industry insights, and real-world solutions to scale access and impact. Whether you're a startup founder, seasoned operator, or policy-minded innovator, the sessions ahead are designed to spark momentum and fuel meaningful change.

Let’s take a closer look at each session.

Direct Contracting for Primary Care: A 360° Case Study

with Steven Waldren, Phillip Blair, and Sabrina Singh MD

Phyx Primary Care surveyed every stakeholder in an 80‑employer ecosystem built around Anovia Health—Hint’s 2024 “DPC of the Year”—to gauge the real‑world impact of direct contracting. In this fast‑paced panel, participants share cost, access, and satisfaction data, spotlight the KPIs that win over finance and HR teams, and outline what true transparency looks like. Come for candid numbers and first‑person stories; leave with a concise playbook for proving that DPC lowers costs, elevates care, and keeps every player at the table.

The DPC Menu

with Kenneth Qiu, MD

For decades, primary‑care doctors have been what’s for dinner—carved up by insurers, employers, and government payers. In this talk, Dr. Kenneth Qiu flips the script and hands DPC physicians the menu. He walks through today’s five payer “courses”, and serves up real‑world pricing ranges, workflow impacts, and hard‑won lessons on administrative creep. You’ll leave with a simple framework for deciding which third‑party dollars belong on your plate, which still leave you on someone else’s chopping block, and how to stay true to the twin DPC pillars of fair pay and minimal bureaucracy while scaling a thriving practice.

Employer Trends in DPC

with Beth Holmes and Ben Aiken

Join Head of Hint Connect (Hint’s nationwide Direct Primary Care network), Beth Holmes to uncover how employers are incorporating DPC into their employee benefits. This talk will highlight relevant data points to help DPCs better understand how best to work with employers and how it can benefit their practices, and insights for employers who want to offer DPC as a benefit.

Systems & Execution to Develop Regional Anchor Customers

with Rushika Fernandopulle, MD and Travis Bockenstedt

Learn how to identify, win, and retain large “anchor” employer customers for your direct care practice. In this discussion, Rushika Fernandopulle, MD, and Travis Bockenstedt share the systems, plans, and onboarding tactics that turn proof-of-concept clinics into scalable regional networks with high-value contracts.

Empowering Employers through Fiduciary Alignment with DPC

with Mehul Agarhwal and David Pinkert 

Join Mehul and Dave for a conversation on the evolving role of employers in healthcare and how Direct Primary Care (DPC) can support their goals. This session will explore how employers are thinking about their responsibilities, the importance of data in decision-making, and what it takes for DPC practices to effectively engage and collaborate with employer groups.

Hint Community Kickoff

But before we dive into all that Day 2 has to offer, join us for the official Hint Summit Kickoff Party after Day 1. This is your chance to connect with peers, unwind, and celebrate the growing DPC community.

Whether you're brand new to DPC or have been involved for ten years, the night will be filled with great conversations, local flavor, and the kind of camaraderie that makes this movement unique.

We’ll see you there!
