America’s complex health care system has transformed the very personal doctor – patient relationship of patient care into an assembly line of medical care delivery. Thus, in 2002, a new and different alternative to the current health care system was born. Concierge or retainer – based medicine programs seek to restore the doctor – patient relationship based on trust, quality, access, time and education.
Your personal physician from Personalized Care will carry a smaller patient practice. Patients are treated by their own physician, who will have the time to develop the necessary doctor – patient relationship in our new world of patient – centered care. This environment will help to promote better health and wellness guidelines, while eliminating rushed and fragmented care, thus helping to eliminate medical care oversights and errors.
This new health care delivery atmosphere will provide a dedicated and experienced medical professional, who will have the time and compassion to treat their patients without the limitations of patient referrals, prior authorizations, pre-certifications…
Allow your medical professional to become your health advocate for all aspects of your health care. Your medical care with Personalized Care will assure to you and your family, a new level of access to your physician and care.
Personalized Care will charge a fixed annual fee for their services which are not covered by your insurance or Medicare. You must retain your health insurance to cover the costs of medical specialists, hospitalization and other services not provided by Personalized Care. The need for additional care may arise and if so, your physician from Personalized Care will act as your health advocate to help you navigate the complex medical system. We will always be available to help you to make all of the necessary health connections for your care.
Your will always have access to your own physician, 365 days per year and 24 / 7, as necessary. You will have access to your physician’s personal cell phone number, supported by email, text messaging, live answering service plus other electronic communications. Appointments will be available either same day or the following day, to allow for convenient patient care.
The health benefits of concierge medicine can be summed up in a single word, “Time,” for patient-centered care. There will be time for the doctor to listen to the patient and for the patient to listen and ask questions of their physician. The new health focus will be for greater participation, prevention, predictive measures and proactive interventions. Your concierge physician is the modern-day, Marcus Welby, MD, who will be your patient-centered, modern-day professional, with the time and skills to help you when you need it most.
