[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]What is "concierge service" at a physician's office?  Is there actually a price you can pay to be a VIP?  With preferential treatment?[/b]

All the other outsourcing -  do what works for you!

But if "concierge service" means paying a special fee so that you can oust some other sick person from having a prime appointment slot, that's not cool.  Not blaming you, OP, but I am blaming the physician who set this up.  And I sure hope I'm wrong.[/quote]

yes and its getting VERY popular with the area pediatric practices...not sure how i feel about it[/quote]

Really - which pediatricians do this? That just seems wrong.

My understanding is that concierge service means that there's one doctor who has only say, 20-24 patients total -- and this doctor is at the disposal of his or her small group of patients, who pay a large set amount per year (kind of like a retainer fee). The doctor does house calls, arranges for tests, etc. At least that's what I've heard based on reading about this in newspapers/magazines -- I've never actually met anyone who does this. [/quote]

Many doctors do this now especially since insurance has gotten terrible in the recent years. It mostly the top doctors who would rather not deal with insurance and patients will stick with them.[/quote]
