The Facts About A Concierge Doctor
A concierge doctor works in the field of concierge medicine. This field is sometimes called direct care and involves patients paying an annual fee or retainer. This concept is relatively new, but is said to improve the relationship between a patient and their physician. In exchange for retainers and fees, these doctors offer enhanced care to their patients. These practices vary in payment method, operation and overall system. An estimated 5, 000 doctors in the United States work in this type of medicine.
