At Balanced Physician Care, patients with Medicare Part B Coverage will pay a discounted membership fee of $99 per month to have convenient access to their physician. They will be able to reach their primary care doctor when and how it works for them. They will avoid long wait times at the office or on the phone. And, they will have a meaningful relationship with a doctor who knows them well and spends the needed time listening to their needs.
This means, those patients have chosen to pay for our monthly membership fee “out-of-pocket” to cover a majority of their needs without any copays (primary care visits, chronic care visits, acute illness visits, integrative/holistic consultations, sports medicine, phone & email questions, joint injections, skin procedures, gynecologic preventative services, & even 24/7 Urgent Care.)
Those patients are still able to use their medicare coverage for medications at the pharmacy, blood and urine samples at the lab, x-rays, MRIs and other imaging, specialist visits, and emergency room & hospital care. But, when they are sick with a cold, need a medication adjustment, would like preventative and wellness advice, or just have a question for their doctor, they are able to reach the physicians at Balanced Physician Care right away.
When they aren’t sure if the medication they just picked up at the pharmacy should be taken with a meal, they can call their doctor and get an immediate answer. When they feel a cold coming on and want some advice, they can reach their doctor that day. When they need a visit that works with their schedule, Balanced Physician Care Members can get same day or next day appointments – not the usual months-long-waits that other practices have.
