[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a doctor who takes virtually no insurance, which means I pay out of pocket, submit my receipts, and get whatever percentage my insurance offers for out-of-network.  But all that is worth it because when I have an appointment at 10:00, I get seen at 10:00.[/quote]

[b]I get this concept but it's different from paying $45 monthly fee for better service at your doctors office. [/quote][/b]

I can tell you from personal experience that although the concepts are different, they can be linked.  I posted earlier about paying 45/month for privia for my internist and how much I like him.  I later posted that my gyno (reiter hill) won't spend more than a minute with me.  What it didnt occur to me to mention was that my internist charges the $45/month and does not take any sort of insurance I've ever heard of.  Like the above poster, I pay out of pocket and get reimbursed whatever my insurance co pay for out of network.  It's still worth it for me, but I will say that when I have a minor cough that might otherwise send me to the dr I am more inclined to just call or see if it will go away than to go and see him for 250 out of pocket.[/quote]
