RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 3A
From: Elliot Udell, DPM
Concierge practices are not always direct-pay practices. My doctor flipped his practice into a concierge practice. The deal is you pay an annual fee for the honor of being a patient but have to pay or have your insurance pay for each visit. The annual fee may be 2K a year. If the doctor has 1,000 patients in the practice, the doctor makes $200,000 a year before turning the key in his door. The rest is gravy.
I visited an eye center for a cataract procedure. They let me know that my insurance would cover the procedure, but the laser they use to open the capsule would cost me 2K out-of-pocket.
