Here’s 5 things you didn’t know about his Concierge Medical practice

What is concierge medicine, and how does it differ from traditional healthcare?
Concierge medicine is primary care medicine, which differs from the traditional primary care model in numerous ways. For example, in concierge medicine my patients will have access to me 24/7. Patient's will also be provided same day telephone or telemedicine visits, and office visits within 24 hours M-F.  Actually, on most days same day office visits are available, Monday-Friday. In certain cases, home visits within 24 hours will be provided. 
 
How much does concierge medicine cost, and what does the fee cover?
Concierge medicine is more affordable than you may think. For approximately the cost of $20 a day, billed bi-annually, you will have a direct, personalized relationship with your doctor that otherwise may not be available in a standard primary care model. 
 
What are the benefits of concierge medicine?
You will always be seen by a doctor; and never be seen by a mid-level Nurse Practitioner or Registered Nurse. A personalized medical experience is tailored completely to your needs. Each office visit will last as long as necessary to allow all of your medical needs to be addressed. In order to provide the best care and personalized experience to my patients, the number of patients enrolled in our practice is kept small. 
 
Will I still need insurance if I have a concierge doctor?
My concierge practice does not bill your insurance; however, it is strongly recommended to maintain insurance coverage. For example, any diagnostic testing, such as labs, and imaging, specialist visits or hospitalizations, insurance would be advised to cover those costs. 
 
Is concierge medicine worth it for my specific health needs?
Concierge medicine is perfect for busy professionals, those with limited time to sit in a medical waiting room, or to anyone who is wanting a quick, efficient, and quality primary care. For example, if you have a chronic condition, a demanding job, busy home life or are yearning for a doctor that doesn't make you feel like just another number, concierge medicine is a great option for you. By eliminating long waits to get an appointment, and less than 5 minutes waiting time in the waiting room, my concierge practice is a great way to receive primary medical care that offers a variety of ways to be seen quickly, whichever works best for your lifestyle and needs.
