As we watch the healthcare debate roll on, many patients are wondering if they will ever get to see a real doctor again.
Some doctors are turning their practices into concierge medical practices.
For an annual fee (around $1500-$2000 per year), doctors agree to provide direct access to a small number of patients. Focusing on health and wellness,patients actually have the opportunity to invest in their health under the auspices of a physician. Office visits are longer and based on the need of the patient. After hours contact is with their physician.
Both the physician and patient win. This type of practice is growing and it will bring back the doctor - patient relationship that has been missing since the HMO days.
