Re: [MBZ] Hillarycare. was: Barum Tires
The cost sounds pretty high. How old are the applicants? Kids tend to cost a bunch to service. Same as old folks. I pay $1800 per annum for 24/7 365 service. Docs have a select number of clients so they can provide adequate care. The healthy do cover the sicker clients. But the fee also covers all in house testing in my case. My group has radiology, lab, cardiac, and all procedures are on the house. No nickel and dime crap with billing, its covered. I need a bone set and cast, on the house. I think they just purchased a MRI. My doc used to be standard practice, then moved in house because he could not afford the overhead of inso and paperwork employees. Now he can afford to continue being a doctor and provides great service. clay - Original Message - From: "Dan Penoff via Mercedes" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Cc: "Dan Penoff" Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2016 6:49:39 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hillarycare. was: Barum Tires Wow.

Re: [MBZ] Hillarycare. was: Barum Tires
+1 Go for it. I have been using this service for a decade and it rocks. My group uses age based fee structure because old folks have more issues. You still need normal coverage to deal with outside providers and hospital work. The positive is that you get service really fast and there is no rush to process you out of the room. My doc takes lots of time to talk things over, discuss options fully, and knows my issues fully. Not getting passed around to the bullpen. I call and get seen in 24 hours. He has full records of his work, instead of having to interpret what some other medico performed. clay - Original Message - From: "Dan Penoff via Mercedes" To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Cc: "Dan Penoff" Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2016 4:56:25 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hillarycare. was: Barum Tires We are looking seriously at a "concierge" physician practice.

Re: [MBZ] Hillarycare. was: Barum Tires
We are looking seriously at a "concierge" physician practice. The wife has multiple medical issues, none life threatening, thank goodness, but a number that are chronic and require her to see a doctor or doctors monthly if not more often. After looking at what we pay out in deductibles, it's approaching the annual fee of a concierge physician's service. In this case we would essentially pay out the lump sum annually and she could see them as many times as she needed, and also (hopefully) get a higher level or quality of care due to the doctor not having to run a conveyor belt practice to stay solvent. We'll see. We're still researching this. Dan Sent from my MBPad There is also medishare.
