Concierge medicine, retainer medicine, direct medicine and boutique medicine are all terms used to describe a new form of medical service in which patients contract directly with their doctor for medical services. By removing the third-party payer, your physician acts as your advocate, with no interference or conflict of interest from outside parties.

Concierge Medicine provides many advantages over a typical physician-patient relationship. It is a term used to describe highly personalized and individualized type of health care. This is a patient centered model, where the patient pays the physician directly without third parties such as insurance carriers/HMOs. The number of patients in the practice is limited so the physician spends more time with patients and provides more comprehensive personalized care. Patients get direct 24/7 access to the physician via personal cell phone and email. This provides peace of mind for you and your family knowing you have a highly trained expert managing your care when you need it most -at home, in the office or in the hospital.

Time, access and convenience for your peace of mind. One of the greatest benefits of a concierge style practice is having your physician act as your guide and help you navigate through the constantly changing medical environment. As a medical “concierge” the physician can help coordinate everything for you. This includes identifying which specialists you may need and facilitating the appointment, overseeing treatment programs, researching topics on your behalf and providing ongoing management of chronic diseases or plans to stay healthy and active. Concierge, boutique, private, personal-style physicians should be thought of as an important and integral member of your trusted team of advisors. The physician’s role is similar to a financial manager overseeing the health of your portfolio, or a specialized attorney advocating for you through the complex legal system. Concierge medicine is ideal for individuals who value and prioritize their health and want a personalized relationship with an experienced and trusted physician. Ensure you have the care you need whenever you need it. Contact Elite Healthcare Personal Medicine to schedule your initial consultation.
