About Concierge Medicine

What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a personalized health care approach that provides patients with enhanced access to their primary care provider. 

In this model, our patients can pay an annual or monthly membership fee rather than billing through insurance. This direct care ensures priority appointments, extended consultation times, and expanded availability. 

The concierge model allows for a deeper patient-provider relationship, more time for comprehensive care, and additional services such as wellness planning and in-depth health assessments tailored to your unique needs.

How is concierge medicine different from traditional care?

Concierge medicine differs from conventional care in several ways, including:

Availability

Concierge providers offer extended office hours, same-day appointments, and expanded access, ensuring you always receive timely care. 

Traditional care typically follows standard office hours, with longer wait times for appointments.

Access

With concierge medicine, you have direct access to the Heart of Housecalls Team, including direct phone, text, or email communication. 

Traditional care may involve more bureaucratic layers before reaching your provider.

Time spent with patients

In concierge medicine, our team dedicates more time to each patient, allowing for in-depth discussions and comprehensive care. 

In traditional care, time constraints often result in shorter appointments.

Cost structure

Concierge medicine includes an annual or monthly membership fee that covers enhanced access and services. 

You can tailor your care to meet your unique needs and health goals. Traditional care is less personalized, with costs for each individual visit, test, or procedure often covered by insurance.
