Concierge and DPC work off a membership model either paid by the patient or sometimes the patient’s employer. Concierge clinics usually charge a retainer fee and may bill the patient’s insurance companies for covered services. DPCs, on the other hand, are independent, small businesses that work directly for patients not insurance companies, hospitals, or corporations. This allows for total price transparency! Concierge and DPC Services: o Extended office visits, 30 mins or longer o Direct access to a physician via phone, text, and video conference o Same-day and next-day appointments o Unlimited office visits, no co-pays DPC - An agreement is made between patients and doctors for all primary care services for a flat, low monthly payment. It is an affordable way of providing high-quality, personalized private medical care outside the current insurance-based or government-based (Medicare and Medicaid) system. This allows easier more convenient access and more time with their physician. It reduces the overhead and expenses and will enable doctors to spend their time on patient care passing the savings on to patients. Our goal is to keep overall costs low providing high-quality care to patients of all incomes and levels of insurance coverage. This leads to fewer tests, medications, ER/urgent care/hospital visits, and overall lower total cost of care. Other benefits include discounted in-office prescriptions, wholesale labs, pathology, and imaging (see benefits). In both models, patients enjoy the individual attention and communication they deserve from their physicians. Physicians are also better able to focus on patient care with fewer distractions or burnout.
