[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. This is the wave of the future. My PCP and neurologist both charge concierge fees. And my neuro once recommended me to someone who didn’t take insurance at all! I’m afraid care is going to become bifurcated between those who can afford extra fees and those who can’t.[/quote] As great as the ACA was, giving everyone who didn't have insurance access to primary care meant more patients than doctors could possibly handle. We had kaiser, but once enrollment swelled, seeing PCPs in a timely manner became impossible. We left for BCBS plus concierge and consider it the price of being able to see a doctor in a reasonable time frame [/quote] Only the laziest or least intelligent doctors are PCPs now (unless they are running a practice with underlings.) PCP is a job for Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant now. [/quote]
