What your membership includes
Your annual fee covers your primary care with me. Not a menu of add-ons. Here is what that means in practice.
- Your annual physical: 45 to 60 minutes, with an EKG, and a Pap smear for women when guidelines call for one.
- Up to five more visits through the year, 30 minutes each, in the office, by video, or at home when clinically appropriate. Two video visits count as one office visit.
- Same-day or next-day appointments.
- Direct access to me through the patient portal and by phone.
- Medication refills within three business days.
- A full explanation of your lab work, imaging, and results from outside physicians.
- Coordination with your specialists, and with hospital and nursing home teams when you need it.
- No co-pays for anything your membership covers.
What your membership does not cover
Membership is not insurance. Keep your health plan for lab work, imaging, specialist care, prescriptions, and hospital stays. Labs I order are billed to your insurance. Covered services are set in your Patient Agreement and reviewed each membership year. For visits beyond those included, see Cost and Payment in the FAQ.
