[quote=Anonymous]I pay an annual fee of $3200 and get an extensive annual physical and all of my primary care appointments are covered (with no billing of insurance). As many appointments as I need. Which was a lot of them last year as my doctor put me on Wegovy and to monitor that she wanted monthly in person follow ups. I'm pretty stable on that med now, so I will be having weight management follow ups less often now, every 3 months or so. When I had an issue with a bad headache and left a message on a Friday, she called me that Friday night -- I wasn't expecting that, lol. I was impressed.  Patients are given a number to text her at any time.

She did a hearing test in office with my physical and caught hearing loss that requires a hearing aid (I was frustrated on the daily due to having trouble hearing, but I'm decades too young for a hearing aid to be normal so I never would have had my hearing checked on my own, just wouldn't have thought of it).

When Wegovy was taken from a tier 2 drug to at tier 3 this year, which meant I'd being paying over $600 per month, she did extensive paperwork to get me a tier exception so I now only pay $160 per month. I would have felt guilty asking my prior beleaguered pcp to do all that paperwork; with concierge I don't think twice about it. I appreciate it, but don't hesitate to ask.

There is no mid-level provider. I see my doctor for everything.

I also get a free appointment with a nutritionist each year.

It's been very good for me. My DH on the other hand, who has zero heath issues even though he's quite a bit older than I am, would never pay for concierge. [/quote]
