Why Nurse-Led Clinics Are The Infrastructure No One Saw Coming, An Interview with Alicia Ortiz.

The data is clear: fewer doctors, growing populations, worse outcomes. The bottleneck? Primary care access.

In this episode, Alicia Ortiz explains how Duet is flipping the script, helping nurse practitioners launch independent practices in underserved communities, and pushing insurers to finally pay them what they're worth.

She shares:
 • Why the physician-led model is unsustainable and how NPs fill the gap
 • How Duet handles the operational complexity so NPs can focus on care
 • The economic model behind pay parity and market viability

“There’s really no reason why we can’t have enough primary care providers out there. There’s plenty of people to do this.” – Alicia Ortiz

Whether you're solving for cost, equity, or scale, this is the frontline of health system reform.

Listen now. The care model is already changing. The market just has to catch up.
