Medicare Concierge is a membership service designed specifically for Medicare or Medicare Advantage patients. It offers many of the same benefits of our DPC model, allowing for enhanced services and care beyond what traditional Medicare offers.

Unlike DPC membership, we bill Medicare for services.

To the member, the experience should be as seamless as it is for a DPC member: simplified access to care when you need it!

Direct Primary Care (DPC) and Medicare Concierge are both designed to make it easier to contact your provider, get appointments when you need them, and have longer, more in-depth consultations.

In practice, members of the two plans would experience the same simplified access to quality care.

The primary distinction lies in how we, the provider of care, must handle insurance. Due to regulatory requirements, we bill Medicare for specific services under the Medicare Concierge membership. Dr Bass is happy to discuss with you further if you would like.

Our Medicare Concierge plan bridges the gap between what Medicare offers and what our patients truly need. With this membership, patients can schedule same or next-day appointments, receive more time with providers, have priority access, reduced waiting times, and enhanced communication. It's designed to maximize the quality of the care you receive while offering benefits similar to a direct care model.

For example, while Medicare allows a lot of freedom to choose your own provider, often the earliest appointment with that provider is weeks, or even months, off. In our view, that's just not how healthcare is supposed to work. We aso believe that there are additional services like extended counseling for lifestyle modification that can greatly benefit your health.

We generally offer the same discounts to both memberships, but occasionally there will be differences. For example, if Medicare covers a particular treatment, such as a Kenalog shot for allergies, you won’t have to pay for that optional service.

For services and products not covered by Medicare, we’re pleased to offer the same discounts we offer to our DPC members.

Basically your membership fee covers all costs your care with your physician. You can think of it as if the clinic has to pay for something related to your care you will receive a bill for that medication, lab or supply. If the clinic has costs for things such as lab, imaging or costs related to in office procedures we will bill you for those costs. We will be transparent about costs so there will not be any surprise bills. For labs and imaging we will bill our costs plus a small administrative fee. For any othe office procedures performed, your costs will be for the supplies for that procedure and not any additional physician charges.

No matter whether you are busy at home waiting on a repairman, away at college, stuck in a carpool line, have a can’t miss work meeting, or out of the country, we can care for you via a telemedicine appointment.
