>concierge doc

Can you please elaborate? I need something like this and I'm willing and able to pay for it.

How would I get started finding one?

Another term for this is direct primary care.

Basically, like a doctor with a membership club. Generally doesn't take your insurance, although some services might covered by your insurance.

Good example is MDVIP - https://www.mdvip.com/. I have no relation to the company other than being a customer. I pay $1,600 a year for my Mom to be a member and it's the best money I've ever spent.

Would it still be good to have insurance in addition to this, in case of disaster?

[jeanlucneptune]

Yes, you definitely should have a health insurance plan of some type. Your concierge doc fee will not pay for a visit to the ER, which can bankrupt the average person who doesn't have coverage.

Thank you. My local practioners are terrible and border on being unethical.
