Why Concierge?
Why Concierge?
Concierge medicine puts a lot of focus on patient-doctor relationships which go a long way in the mental and physical recovery of a patient. It also lays emphasis on preventive care, which in theory, stops small health concerns from becoming major health risks. This practice would also go a long way in infectious disease management and chronic long-term disease management as well. These pros are at an ecosystem level. Looking closer at the individual level, it’s abundantly clear that concierge medicine allows for better doctor-patient relations, more time spent by a doctor on each patient, and a general humanization of healthcare which prevents doctors from looking at their patients as a bed number or a victim of any ailments. Companies are promoting high-deductible employee healthcare plans to reduce costs. However, these plans can lead to employees putting off doctors’ visits because of high out-of-pocket costs. Small medical issues become big issues, leading to absences and decreased productivity.
