What Is Concierge Medicine?
Concierge medicine is a primary-care model that has rapidly expanded in response to increasing dissatisfaction with America’s health-care system.
As a result, concierge physicians are able to reduce their patient load – from as many as 3,000 to, typically, about 600 – and promise same-day appointments, 24/7 access, and a spectrum of preventive screening testing for all registered members.
As a concierge practice, Exceptional Health charges an annual membership fee and carefully limits the number of patients to a maximum of 350 in order to best individualize each member’s care.
Exceptional Health accepts most health insurance including Medicare, and participates in most insurance networks. Contact us today if you have any questions regarding provider networks. We are happy to answer any questions you may have!
