Concierge Medicine Q & A
What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine gives you an option to the way you pay for and receive medical care. When you choose concierge medicine, you pay the provider directly instead of going through health insurance.
This approach involves paying a predetermined fee for a specific group of services. The fees for other health services you may need are fully disclosed, so you never need to worry about a surprise bill with inflated prices.
Though you pay your membership fees and Dr. Hundert doesn’t file insurance claims, you can still submit the bills for additional services (not included in your concierge membership) to your health insurance provider.
What are the benefits of concierge medicine?
In addition to receiving expert medical care without hidden fees, concierge medicine delivers benefits such as:
Privacy
When you or your physician submit a claim to your health insurance provider, they have open access to all your medical records. Though this is the standard practice, it also means you don’t have privacy.
Freedom to choose your own health care
Insurance companies can approve or decline tests and procedures you may need. With concierge care, you can make the best decision for your health and generally pay lower fees.
Extra time with and unparalleled access to your doctor
All concierge patients receive the following benefits:
- 24/7 access to Dr. Hundert
- Extended visits
- Little to no wait times
- Same and next-day appointments
- Wellness benefits
- One-on-one health coaching
By offering concierge medicine, Dr. Hundert can carry a smaller caseload. As a result, you don’t need to wait weeks for an appointment, and appointments aren’t rushed so he can get to the person in the next exam room. Most importantly, your care is fully personalized.
