[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the argument for concierge, and the doctor's office certainly isn't helping. Insurance doesn't pay enough? Doctor already charges more than insurance pays and doesn't post prices on their web site, so [b]why can't they just charge more for services? [/b] Is it something about being "in network" having hard price caps, vs out-of-network doctors who have reimbursements limits but unlimited prices? [/quote] That’s what they’re doing with concierge, genius.[b] [/quote] No, they are charging for a retainer, not for the medical services. [/quote] Depends on the practice. My doctor charged an annual fee and it covers all of the visits I need. No billing of insurance for visits. [/quote]
