What people are saying about Concierge Medicine- see below for excerpts of a recent article published in Forbes by Alan Prince.

Why You Want To Become A Patient At A Concierge Medical Practice by Russ Alan Prince, CONTRIBUTOR.

The number of concierge physicians continues to increase in large part due to patient demand. In evaluating this trend the appeal of concierge healthcare appeals for some core reasons.

According to Jeffrey Friedman M.D., Director of Medicine at Community Health Associates, “A large percentage of patients are basically uncomfortable with the quality of the available traditional primary medical care. They want to make sure they have high-caliber physicians and medical facilities for themselves and loved ones whenever the need arises, and they recognize the considerable limitations of the traditional primary care medical system.”

The ability to access state of the art healthcare is a major factor in people choosing concierge medicine. One aspect of this is that many high-quality concierge physicians act as healthcare advocates. “Most patients can meaningfully benefit from healthcare advocates if they have any sort of complex or difficult to diagnose condition. Complex cases become more common with age, especially with chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes,” says Friedman.

“Another strong motivation for individuals to use concierge medical practices is a desire for themselves and their loved ones to live a very long and relatively malady free life and want the same for their loved ones,” says Daniel Carlin, M.D., CEO of WorldClinic and author of The World of Concierge Medicine. “Advances in medicine are increasingly extending people’s lifespans. The use of biomarkers, for example, to identify potential illnesses and therefore be proactive in addressing possible medical conditions, is becoming essential to increasing the portability of living a great deal longer. This trend in medical advancements is only likely to accelerate. Proactively taking steps to live a long life without illness is referred to as longevity planning. Unfortunately, longevity planning is not characteristic of the traditional healthcare system but is embraced by many concierge medical practices.”

If you are confident that the traditional healthcare system will enable you to receive exceptional healthcare when you or your loved ones need it, including access to the latest medical diagnostic and treatment capabilities, then you might not benefit from a high-caliber concierge medical practice. Also, if you are taking actions that will result in a long and healthy life, then you might not benefit from high-caliber concierge medical practice. However, as evidenced by the growth in concierge medical practices, many physicians and patients are recognizing the limitations of the traditional healthcare system and are taking action. The solution today – in many cases – is concierge medicine.

Concierge Medicine FAQ’s- visit southshoremds.com for more information

What is concierge Medicine and how is different for traditional Medical Practices?

Concierge Medicine is a membership-based Practice model. Members pay a fee to join the practice which allows the Practice to enroll a much smaller number of patients. The advantage to the patient is increased access to your doctor, longer appointments and no extended wait times.

Is joining a Concierge practice Expensive?

Concierge practices vary widely in terms of services and pricing. Most are very affordable and likely on par with what most people pay for their gym membership, cable bill or cell phone bill. On average most concierge practices memberships are 120-150 dollars a month.

Do I need to have Health insurance?

Most concierge practices require you to carry health insurance. The membership fee- is just that- a fee to cover membership. Medical service provided including labs, exams, vaccinations etc will go through your insurance.

I already pay for Health insurance, why would I pay to join a Concierge practice?

Traditional medical practices depend on volume. To stay profitable, they must enroll large numbers of patients and schedule as may visits a day as possible. The typical primary care practice enrolls 2,000-4,000 patients. This generally translates to prolonged wait time for appointments, rushed visits, and inability to address all your needs in a single visit.
The Concierge model is a different approach, valuing quality over quantity with a focus on accessibility, comprehensive care and a more personalized approach. That typical concierge practice limits its enrollment to 300- 600 patients, vs 2000-4000 in traditional practices. Concierge practices generally provide 24/7 access to your doctor, extended visits, and appointments within 1-2 days. In addition, and perhaps more importantly your doctor knows you, not just your medical problems.

Who should consider joining a concierge practice?

We believe everyone can benefit for more personalized and comprehensive care. At South Shore Primary and Urgent Care we strongly believe that more attention, more access and truly having time to spend with our patients will not only improve their experience with medicine, but improve outcomes and overall health.

Our membership price is designed to be affordable. We offer exclusive services at an accessible price. We believe better healthcare should be an option for all who are looking for it.
