A More Practical Health Care
System
• Private healthcare insurance is available in the US but is not really considered
more practical than the concierge doctor. Also, private healthcare does not
always pay 100% of the medical bill in any event. So, expensive healthcare
insurance has no advantage over the concierge doctor. For example, most
doctors will not give out their private mobile telephone numbers for reasons
that most do not make house calls and therefore you need to make an
appointment to visit his rooms. A concierge doctor will do just the opposite.
You can make a call and he will visit you if required. There may be some tests
to be conducted or X-rays all of which he can organize whilst visiting you.
• In the event that a patient may require an urgent appointment with a
physician there is a good chance he might have to wait a week or more unless
there is an emergency in which case a hospital visit may be needed. A
concierge doctor will respond almost immediately and will even visit you over
a weekend. Most private physicians do not operate over weekends or public
holidays however, you have paid for your concierge doctor to be on call
twenty-four hours out of twenty-four. These are benefits you will only get with
this sort of service.
• Concierge doctors can also join a nationwide group such as MDVIP. This
company which happens to be based in Florida operates countrywide. Here the
doctor will limit his patients to a maximum of 600 whilst your private physician
will have a patient base of over 2000 in all probability. If you are traveling
country wide and out of reach of you own concierge physician, an MDVIP office
in another state will provide you with the same facilities and assign a
concierge doctor to assist you.
