WHAT IS CONCIERGE MEDICINE?

Concierge medicine, also sometimes known as membership or retainer medicine, has become more popular in recent years. It’s estimated that there are currently anywhere from 800-5000 doctors practicing concierge medicine in the U.S. today. Dissatisfaction with the standard model of healthcare has driven innovation and better service. We work with patients in Tampa to provide the highest level of primary care possible, including unlimited office visits, no waiting, and 24/7 access to your doctor. If you are looking for a primary care physician in Tampa, please contact us or view our membership options to learn more.

But what is concierge medicine, and what does it mean for your personalized care? 

Concierge medicine doctors provide their services directly to patients for a regular fee. Models vary, however a typical service has patients pay upfront monthly, and the costs vary depending on the services provided. While this was typically a luxury service, Insight Life Care has designed an efficient and affordable plan that allows unrestricted access to a real doctor when and where it is needed or desired. One of the biggest draws of retainer medicine is that it allows for a more personal relationship between a physician and a patient. There is no “middleman” to worry about. A concierge doctor can do everything from call a patient back to communicate over email or other online portals. It’s a way to receive personalized care while paying directly to your doctor instead of going through a third party or insurance company. 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH OUR CONCIERGE PRACTICE?

One of the biggest benefits of concierge medicine is that you will always see a doctor. Concierge doctors are the same as every other physician. It’s just a choice they have made to run their practice a certain way. 


So, don’t believe rumors that you won’t see a real doctor or that you will be given a “substitute”.  Maybe you already have a physician and they’re making the switch to concierge medicine. Your interaction with them won’t change. In fact, you might find that they spend more time with you and are more willing to interact if you have questions after your appointment. 


In addition to having a more personalized experience with your doctor, there are other benefits to our program, including: 
  • Faster access to your physician when you need them. This includes same-day appointments or fast responses to any questions you may have about your health. Additionally, you can access your physician 24/7. Whether that’s via a phone call, email, or through a specific online portal, you will have unlimited access whenever you need it. Medical situations don’t always occur during the day. If you need help in the middle of the night, early in the morning, or before you go to bed, Insight Life Care Concierge Medicine ensures you will get answers right away. 
  • A more personal relationship that can make you feel more comfortable with your physician. If you have a history of being scared of the doctor or uncomfortable at appointments, this can be a great way to feel more at ease. The appointments are longer than you might be used to, and you won’t have to wait to be seen.
  • Wherever you are, your physician can visit you. If you need a house call or need to be seen at your office, your physician will come to you for care. It might sound like an old-fashioned way of doing things, but there is something to be said about that personal touch that was “lost” for so many years!

As stated above, concierge medicine used to be reserved for people who could afford large monthly payments. Now, however, Insight Life Care is able to provide affordable care to its patients. If you do not have insurance or you’re looking for a cost-efficient alternative, this is a great option. Concierge medicine is more affordable than traditional healthcare solutions.
