[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are they doing extra for $2200 a year if you still have to pay for appointments and your insurance is billed? That's what almost $200 a month, and for that I'd expect one charge appointment at least monthly.[/quote] Seeing far fewer patients and spending more time with them. People seem to be misunderstanding the concept of what you are paying for. Any doctor’s office has to pay for the office space and the salaries & healthcare of all of their employees. They either rely on insurance payments and book 5 patients an hour, 8 hours a day. Or they go concierge and see 4-6 patients per day and spend 1 hour with them. I view paying for concierge more as insurance (easy access when I need it) than fee-for-service. YMMV[/quote]
