There are a few cash-only medical practices. I know of one personally. They have been operating this way for nearly 20 years so it must be working for them.
I would guess that most of their patients are quite well off, given that they have the cash available to pay out of pocket. That probably eliminates quite a lot of issues for the practice, as that would tend to select for reasonably educated and high-functioning patients. They also don't have to deal with insurance companies or collections.
