[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m part of a concierge practice. I think the real benefit is that she doesn’t have a huge number  of patients, so she is very in tune with my health and knows me well. My appointments start on time and last as long as it takes for me to discuss everything I want to discuss. It’s also nice to be able to reach her at any time - evenings, weekends, holidays, she’s always available. We started using her practice during Covid because my husband got scraped up in a biking accident and the ERs and clinics were all completely overwhelmed with insane wait times. A friend recommended her, and she was able to get us admitted as a new patient and send a doctor to our house to sew him up and give us antibiotics (so we didn’t have to deal with the pharmacy) within a few hours. She does charge a pretty high annual fee and she doesn’t take insurance, but I think it’s worth it. [/quote]

There are plenty that DO take insurance. Your added CM fee (of $100-300/month) is what allows them to take all the time you need at each appt.  It allows them to have 1/10 to 1/4 of the patients they previously had to have to make ends meet.  [/quote]
