What does a concierge physician do for you?

A concierge physician looks after a smaller number of patients than a typical practice, so there is more time for each person. In return for a membership fee, patients usually get longer appointments, easier access to their own doctor, and care that is focused on keeping them well, not only on treating illness.

  • Time

    Appointments that are not rushed, with room to talk through your whole health picture rather than one complaint.

  • Access

    A direct line to your own physician’s practice, and often same-day or next-day visits when something comes up.

  • Prevention

    A plan built around staying healthy. Many practices begin with a thorough annual evaluation and build from there.

  • Coordination

    Help finding your way through specialists, tests and hospital care, with one physician who knows your history.

Every practice sets its own services. When you contact a practice, ask what membership includes.

The 4 Ps of care at a PPA member practice

  1. PersonalizedCare built around you, your history and your goals, not a fifteen-minute template.
  2. PreventiveAttention on keeping you well and catching problems early, before they become serious.
  3. ProactiveA physician who follows up and plans ahead with you, rather than waiting for you to get sick.
  4. ProfessionalPhysicians who have chosen to practice this way, with the time to do medicine properly.

Is concierge medicine only for the wealthy?

No. Membership fees vary widely from one practice to the next. Some models are priced for a premium service, and others are built to be affordable as a flat monthly fee. The best way to know is to ask a practice near you what membership costs and what it includes.

How the three membership models are paid for
ModelHow you payInsurance
ConciergeA membership fee, often paid annuallyThe practice typically still bills your insurance for covered visits
Direct primary careA flat monthly fee that covers your primary careThe practice typically does not bill insurance. Most people keep insurance for specialists, hospital care and emergencies
HybridMembership for some patients, traditional visits for othersDepends on which option you choose at that practice

Care is provided by the member practice and its physicians, not by the alliance. A listing records that a practice is a PPA member; it is not a clinical endorsement or a referral. If this is a medical emergency, call 911.
