[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so opposed to this trend. They are charging you a retainer to be their patient. Trying to work less and make more. Cutting out all but wealthy patients.. Reeks of greed, but around here they can get away with it.[/quote] I'm OP and the thing is, I'm not wealthy. This would be a big financial sacrifice.[/quote] +1 My parents have been concierge for over a decade and they are LMC (never made more than $40K/year combined)---they did it when their dr of over 20 years went concierge and they didn't want to loose them. They love it and I love it now that they are in their 80s it gets well used---when you have an appt it's always at least 30-45 mins---none of this 10-12 mins and out. The extra fee you pay allows the dr to spend more time with you, because insurance is not paying for that extra time. My parents choose to pay ~$250/month for them to have this privilege. [/quote]
