As these concierge style medicine practices continue to grow all over the country in primary care, pediatrics, women's health and other specialties, practices need to be particularly mindful of the different legal considerations that affect these new practice models. Because patient membership fees are often paid in advance and the patient agreement usually contemplates a personal relationship with increased access to a certain physician, there are different legal challenges and practice issues that should be addressed at the outset of these practices.   Access the Full Interview (iTunes): LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW WITH JONNA D.

Photo Used With Permission.   The concierge model generally relies on increased access and time for patients because physicians have typically accepted fewer patients. Because of this, it can be very difficult to figure out the fairest way to negotiate a partner's exit and how these patients and fees paid would transfer in the event of such departure. Does the partner get paid only in a buy-out of the whole practice or will the practice buy-out the individual partner upon his or her termination? Would this be handled differently in the case of a retirement? Would the practice consider a buy-out only if another physician can be substituted and take over the patient panel? How then is the new provider paid if fees have already been collected for a given year? It is possible the patients reject the substitute physician regardless of the departing physician's recommendation.   Oftentimes, the agreements governing the practice's operations include long notice provisions prior to any termination or retirement because it is not easy to substitute another concierge doctor if one leaves. Also, the patients have paid for the personal relationship and membership with their own doctor, so they do not always feel that this relationship transfers to another doctor. Another thing to consider is if a doctor terminates or unexpectedly dies or becomes disabled and a new doctor cannot cover their patients, what happens to patient fees that have already been collected? The practice needs to consider whether these fees are returned to patients and then whether a new membership agreement is entered into with the new physician. All these considerations need to be addressed in the initial stages of the company's operations.   Cost Sharing/Expenses   Another issue confronting concierge practices is cost sharing and how to divide expenses in this type of practice models. Practices must decide if they are allocating costs based on each physician's patient panel size or based on their respective ownership percentages of the practice. Once you allow for different panel sizes, these differences can become quite problematic, and physicians can end up disagreeing on the fair allocation of these costs. Confronting these differences early in the formation of the practice and providing for them in the practice's operating documents can help avoid difficult and costly conflicts later for the partners.   Sales to Third Parties   Physician owners in a concierge practice also need to consider at the formation of a practice how the profits of the practice will be divided in the case of a sale to a third party. Will profits be divided based on a physician's ownership in the practice or based on an individual physician's production and fee generation? If a practice has providers with vastly different production and patient panel sizes, then this is important to consider because the higher producing partner may want a sale to a third party to take into account these differences. Another partner may feel strongly that profits should be divided based on ownership percentages in the practice entity, which may be equal even if the providers have different numbers of patients. Frequently, the potential buyer has their own considerations for valuing the practices and may ascribe different values to each physician's practice. The buyer may base its valuation of the practice on patient panel size and fees generated by each individual physician.   Regulatory Considerations   Concierge practices typically charge a fee for membership in their practice, which generally allows patients increased access to the physicians and their services. If the practice is accepting Medicare and/or commercial insurance, the fee cannot be charged for any service already covered by Medicare or insurance. Additionally, if the practice accepts commercial insurance, the fee must be scrutinized to be sure it is allowed under any agreement with a commercial payor of the practice. Some payor agreements may specifically prohibit any patient fee for membership in a practice. Some practices have reached out to their commercial payors directly when converting to a concierge practice and have had these commercial payors review and approve their patient agreements and membership fees.   Coverage and Licensing Concerns   Because of the unique access provided to concierge patients, some practices have added special coverage when these patients are out of state or on vacation. In light of their patients who winter in warmer climates, like Florida, California and Arizona, some practices have partnered with other concierge practices in these states to offer services to their “snowbird” patients. Health systems are taking advantage of these practice models also. For instance, Chicago-based Northwestern Medicine opened a concierge medicine office in Naples, Florida, and Ohio-based Cleveland Clinic also has opened concierge medicine practices in multiple Florida locations. Doctors, however, need to be aware that they need to be licensed in the state where the patient resides. Due to these licensing considerations, some concierge physicians are also obtaining licenses in other states to cover patients that often spend their winters in these warmer states.   Final Thoughts   The above issues are just some of the unique considerations facing concierge practices from Chicago to Florida and other states as well. Because each concierge practice has unique patient fee agreements to consider, there is not a “one size fits all” approach to advising these practices. Concierge practices should not overlook the unique legal and practice issues facing them, from patient fee issues to physician departures. These models have a variety of legal challenges that should be addressed at the early stages of the practice, so they do not lead to partner and patient discord later on.   Connect with Jonna D.

Most private practice doctors are just copying the traditional healthcare model—but why? The mainstream system is broken, inefficient, and frustrating for both doctors and patients. If you're launching your cash-based or virtual medical practice, you don't have to do things the old way. In this episode, I challenge you to rethink every part of your practice, including: How patients actually find you (hint: it's not through your website) Scheduling & payments (you don't need a front desk or an EHR) Intake forms (do patients really want them?) Lab & imaging results (how to present them in a way patients actually understand) The future of medical records (voice notes, AI, and custom software) The best practices in medicine aren't just the ones we've always used—they're the ones that actually work.

Priyanka founded HealthClic in 2015, with a desire to create a concierge medical practice that offers families unparalleled access to a distinguished HealthClic physician. An expert who dedicates their full expertise to the well-being of you and your family. Someone who knows you so well that they anticipate your medical needs, advocate for you, and proactively research solutions before complications arise – almost like having a doctor in the family.   COMPANY OVERVIEW As London's first concierge medicine practice, with a patient list 98% smaller than the average GP practice in London, HealthClic physicians are renowned for providing highly discreet medical services to ultra high-net-worth families and an international clientele. There is a waitlist to join.   Concierge medicine, often known as ‘membership medicine', dates back to 1996 and is an advanced healthcare model from the U.S. where patients pay an annual membership fee to register with their primary care physician; in exchange for a higher level of service, and a smaller patient list. This is a much more exclusive model of healthcare delivery, that involves 24/7 physician access, same-day appointments, and highly personalised, comprehensive care.    HealthClic is meticulously crafted to serve the unique needs of families accustomed to frequent travel and multiple residences; with a highly exclusive patient-to-doctor ratio of 50 families to 1. As a practice, HealthClic excels in prioritising privacy, promptness, and excellence in care, catering not only to those in perfect health but also to those proactively managing their well-being, or those families undergoing a health crisis. Their dedicated physicians ensure longevity and safeguard your legacy with the utmost discretion and precision, making HealthClic the epitome of comprehensive concierge medicine.    LEARN MORE: https://healthclic.co.uk   © 2007-2025 Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

A physician recently shared a post about how medicine is a minefield—you can do everything right and still get sued, blamed, or burned out. The system makes it easier to destroy doctors than to support them, and many are leaving for good. But instead of waiting for change, what if you made a shift? Some medical settings are more supportive than others Switching specialties or clinical settings can make a huge difference There are many non-clinical career options Cash-based care (concierge, DPC, or fee-for-service) provides more freedom I also share my personal experience: How I handled a medical board investigation My perspective on lawsuits and the reality of getting sued Why cash-based medicine is a viable way to stay in medicine on your terms Listen in for real talk on the challenges of being a doctor today—and how to find a better path.

Most of the healthcare system is designed for patients who just need a quick fix—someone with a license to prescribe so they can move on with their day. But what about the 20% of patients who actually care about prevention, long-term health, and finding the right doctor? These are the people who are willing to pay for quality care—and they're looking for physicians who can guide them through the noise of the medical industry. In this episode, Dr. Mohammad Ashori breaks down the two types of patients you'll encounter in medicine, why the healthcare system is designed for the 80% who just want a quick prescription, and how you can build a private practice that attracts the 20% of patients who truly value good healthcare. If you're trying to figure out who your ideal patient is, how to market your practice, and how to stand out from the sea of mainstream medicine, this episode is for you.   ------ -Dr. Mo Mohammad Ashori LinkedIn Digital Nomad Physicians Website Telemedicine: Digital Nomad Health Website Physician Coaching & Consulting Dr. Mo Goodreads Build Your Virtual Medical Practice Online Course

My wife often jokes that I read 4-5 books simultaneously. It's true! If you own a digital book reader or use an audiobook app like Audible to consume books, then you've probably jumped between a title or two as well, depending on your mood.   By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   I personally love bouncing between a few titles and topics. I think the secret is listening or reading one chapter at a time once or twice a week! Then, I jump onto a podcast path, perhaps with a similar author I find interesting in the car or during a workout.   But finding the right balance between learning and pleasure is important, especially FOR Doctors!   Reading a few books simultaneously helps me avoid getting stuck or bored. If a book or a chapter is too slow, allow yourself to skip a track or jump a few pages. Life is too short, and there are too many great books to push through painfully.   Throughout nearly the past two decades here at Concierge Medicine Today, we compiled a list of books that either I've read and found helpful or your peers and those we've interviewed over the years here at Concierge Medicine Today, our conference, the Concierge Medicine Forum, or our podcast, The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast, have been recommended to us on this topic.   Note: If you're specifically only looking for books about Concierge Medicine, we included a few recommendations at the end of the article we would offer for your consideration as well.    In keeping with what we've learned today … “The best leaders are readers!” — here are some of the titles your peers have mentioned and a few more books that have come across our path we recommend Physicians consider —   Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection" by Charles Duhigg" "Radical Candor: Fully Revised & Updated Edition: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity" Hardcover – Big Book, October 1, 2019 by Kim Scott "No More Waiting Rooms: A Customer Service Road Map to Help Remarkable Medical Offices Navigate Their Way Towards an Irresistible Practice Where Gratitude Is on Repeat!" by Michael Tetreault "Counterclockwise: Using Peptides to Renew, Rejuvenate, and Rediscover" by Dr. Suzanne J Ferree "Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" Paperback – December 29, 2020 by Greg McKeown (Author) "Designing for Health: The Human-Centered Approach" Hardcover – November 13, 2023 by Craig Joseph (Author), Jerome Pagani (Author) "Untangle Your Emotions: Naming What You Feel and Knowing What to Do About It" Hardcover – February 13, 2024 by Jennie Allen (Author) "Unstoppable Brain: The New Neuroscience that Frees Us from Failure, Eases Our Stress, and Creates Lasting Change" Hardcover – April 30, 2024 by Kyra Bobinet (Author) "Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success" by John C.

You and I can't always choose how or when to leave a job. And sometimes life isn't fair. The point is that today, considering the legacy you're about to leave behind [at your current workplace], you honor the people you've worked beside and the patients you've served.   A message from the Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   A Sept. 3, 2024, MGMA Stat poll found that 27% of medical groups report having a physician leave or retire early in 2024 due to burnout, compared to 68% that did not and 5% reporting “unsure.” Even more interesting is that a larger percentage of physicians in another survey expressed a likelihood of leaving their current position within the next few years, with some studies showing up to 35% considering a departure.   Whether you're contemplating a leap into the world of concierge medicine or just daydreaming about your dream job, here are three simple questions you should consider if and when you decide to make a big move in your career!   But before we spotlight those questions, we should pause for just a minute and talk about the legacy you're leaving behind—the people and patients you've served along the way. Physicians leave organizations every day and continue to do amazing things. And when you end a job or a position at a hospital or practice where you've worked well, that's part of your legacy, too. Legacy isn't just about the end of your career or estate planning.   You and I can't always choose how or when to leave your job. And sometimes life isn't fair. The point is that today, considering the legacy you're about to leave behind, honor the people you've worked beside and the patients you've served. Legacy, as we're discussing it today, isn't something you should ignore because you got your feelings hurt or emotions are getting the best of you. Ignoring your legacy has the potential to undermine the life that you've lived and the gifts that you've given to the patients you've served, the colleagues you've worked next to all these years, and the opportunities you've given other people. So yeah, this a big deal. So asking these questions and really thinking about your legacy and who and what you're leaving behind is an important conversation with the people around you right now.   Who can you turn to for guidance? We all recognize the value of sound advice intellectually but it's crucial to seek counsel from individuals within your network who won't simply tell you what you want to hear but rather will support and guide you in making critical decisions and help you identify your blind spots. Think about creating a list of these people and reach out to them. Consider taking them out for lunch and telling them beforehand what you'd like to discuss. This will shorten the pleasantries and help shortcut the discussion around your primary concerns about a job transition.   How much time will it take to heal the emotional and psychological wounds of the past workplace experience?  Emotions often play a pivotal role in our decision-making. However, what will happen in six months when you discover that the new job has its own set of dysfunctional workplace issues? Allow yourself time to heal from the weight of the last workplace experience. There's nothing worse than finding yourself a decade from now (or perhaps retired) and still traumatized by the same set of emotional wounds you never allowed to properly treat years ago.   Will you take a leap or build a runway? Financial concerns are not always the primary factor when it comes to changing careers or jobs. Often, it's about better hours, a supportive boss, or more family time. Many physicians contemplating career transitions tend to overlook the “what if” questions: What if this doesn't work out? What if I don't enjoy the area? The list can be endless. When seeking career advice from trusted individuals, be cautious of platitudes. These can create a misleading sense of confidence. For instance, when you share your story, some may advise you to “Just take a leap of faith.” But where is your parachute? What does your financial runway look like if it doesn't pan out? Others might suggest, “If you build it, they will come.” While these statements may hold some truth, they often lack a foundation in reality. If your next career move doesn't succeed, what will you stand to lose? What are your exit strategies? How long is the contract? Who will be your actual boss?   At the end of day, you and I, the colleagues you know, your friends and associates, we all have something in common. That is the unfortunate reality that we will not be remembered necessarily for our finest hours, but our final hours. That's very sobering for all of us and the reason why we're so passionate and repetitive about our mission – and that is to be FOR Doctors. Because at the end of the day it's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your patients and FOR your local community.   Bonus: Here are the five books we encourage any Physician to read if you're in a season of career transition.   “What To Do Next: Taking Your Best Step When Life Is Uncertain” by Jeff Henderson (Author) “Necessary Endings” by Henry Cloud “The Doctor's Guide to Concierge Medicine” by Concierge Medicine Today (Author) “Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success” by John C.

Choosing the right health care provider is essential for aligning with your personal health goals, especially as new information emerges about the healthcare system. It's important to find a provider who understands your preferences, whether that involves a delayed vaccine schedule or exploring advanced testing options like DNA analysis and hormone evaluations. Traditional medical models often prioritize pharmaceuticals and high-volume care, but concierge medicine offers more personalized services tailored to your unique health needs.Setting clear health goals, such as weight loss, disease management, or overall wellness, can help guide your healthcare journey. Providers who specialize in advanced treatments, like peptide therapy and hormone balancing, offer more holistic approaches to conditions that are often just managed in traditional settings. Understanding the role of insulin resistance, gut health, and diet in your long-term well-being is crucial for preventing chronic diseases and achieving lasting health improvements.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 - Introduction01:06 - Choosing the Right Provider02:30 - Concierge Medicine vs Traditional Care03:49 - Setting Health Goals06:02 - Peptides & Metabolic Health07:27 - The Importance of Finding the Right Provider09:44 - Artificial Sweeteners & Health Implications11:09 - Insulin Resistance & Brain Health12:26 - Cholesterol Myths

“I'm going to say something that people claim isn't true, but it is. I'm an ear nose and throat doctor. I don't remember your eardrum from last year.

You assume all associated risks. We strongly encourage you to perform your own due diligence and work with a trusted advisor or professional or a competent attorney who understands your unique practice needs.    Today, we're discussing why it's crucial to routinely revisit your Communication Policy with a trusted professional or a competent attorney with knowledge of this space. But first, let me say this to the Physician who needs to hear it: A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a form of self-care. Not only is it for the Physicians' mental and emotional health, but it's also for the Patients' benefit. A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy helps maintain a healthy work-life balance, gives structure to your responses, and is critical to a successful marriage! In concierge medicine, a good communication policy and a secure messaging platform should free Physicians up to do what they do best. These two things working together should give you, your Practice and your Patients the freedom to respond to messages at their convenience, address questions promptly, and automatically document interactions in the patient's EMR. Don't look at them as a way to restrict communication. That's what the rest of healthcare attempts to do. You're different, and that's okay.   A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a set of personal rules that become a matter of professional conscience. Remember, "... it's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients, and FOR your local community." A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy can help you avoid regrets that might otherwise occur. A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a choice you make for yourself and will impact you and those closest to you.   READ FULL ARTICLE ...   (C) 2024 Concierge Medicine Today LLC  

Today on the show, we welcome Chloe Harrouche. Chloe is the founder of The Lanby, a concierge primary care practice in NYC. Her goal is to reimagine what it's like to go to the doctor from every touchpoint. At age 23 Chloe was diagnosed with breast cancer and experienced our broken healthcare system. Through her experience, she found no one to coordinate care across specialists, no hospitality, and no emphasis on wellness and nutrition which gave her the drive and mission to create The Lanby, a full replacement for your primary care needs and beyond.  Today we discuss Chloe's own journey with breast cancer, fertility challenges and ultimately creating a comprehensive solution for primary care coordination that can meet the unique needs of each patient.

Compared to a generation ago, information and strategies to maximize health and longevity are widely available. Is your primary care physician working those strategies with you?Most primary care practices are driven by accountants and insurance companies for efficiency. But determining the unique needs of each patient really requires more time. Prevention of illness may require tools that are not covered by insurance.The concierge model of primary care aims to build a partnership between the patient and the physician. Dr. Theresa Burick of the Burick Center for Health and Wellness explains how her concierge practice identifies priorities for patients and uses a wider range of tools to achieve greater health and wellness. The health care industry has changed over time. Concierge medicine is growing to get people out of the Sick Care System and into the Health Care System.

This episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast is with family medicine physician Dr. Jana Baatenburg MD. She is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and Owner of Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024! Dr. Jana shares her path to becoming a doctor and how athletics factored in. Dr. Jana opens up about her struggles with RED-S and underfueling, including 12 years of amenorrhea -a missing period- and bone injuries. She talks about how finding CrossFit and a community of athletes who believe that stronger is better for performance kickstarted her RED-S recovery. Dr. Jana highlights how gaining weight led to big performance improvements, as well as finally regaining her period after 12 years! We discuss some of the body image and weight gain challenges she faced, and how ultimately her desire to stay injury free and enjoying the sports she loved motivated her recovery.  Dr. Jana is just one of many doctors and healthcare professionals I meet who have struggled with nutrition, and if that is you too, do not be ashamed. Even dietitians with extensive nutrition education can struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating and RED-S. We go on to discuss Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician and how concierge medicine is bringing better healthcare to patients.  TOPIC TIMESTAMPS: 4:00 Dr. Jana's path to becoming a family medicine doctor  7:00 Dr. Jana's athletic background in running and CrossFit  10:00 Dr. Jana's RED-S experience: amenorrhea, weight control 14:45 How CrossFit helped Dr. Jana's RED-S recovery 17:35 Gaining muscle (and weight) to improve performance  20:10 RED-S consequences: 12 years of amenorrhea, injuries and poor bone health  23:20 Period/ hormonal recovery  24:20 Weight gain and body image challenges; Working with a sports dietitian  28:20 Nutrition struggles as a doctor/ healthcare professional 31:00 Long-term bone health consequences and repeat injuries  34:30 Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician; Treating lifestyle/ chronic conditions 39:30 Concierge medicine practices: giving patients better healthcare; Dr. Jana's practice: Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024!  Follow Dr. Jana and Concierge Medicine of West Michigan @cmwestmichigan, and your host, Lindsey Cortes, on Instagram @female.athlete.nutrition  Natural Cycles: Check out Natural Cycles here and 20% off subscription plus free thermometer!
