Information for Medicare Members
Medicare Patients Are Welcome at Our Practice
Our direct primary care model is well suited to meet the needs of older adults. With more time for each visit, we’re able to thoroughly manage chronic conditions, medications, and preventative care — helping you stay healthy and informed.
Billing & Yearly Deductible
As your Medicare physician, we are required to bill Medicare on your behalf for certain medical services we provide. Also, Medicare participants are responsible to pay a yearly Medicare deductible, which we will collect for you. Otherwise, your membership is no different from our non-Medicare patients and will include all of the great conveniences and benefits not covered by Medicare.
Services Not Covered by Medicare
Here are some of the exceptional services not covered by Medicare that are included with your membership:
- A routine comprehensive medical exam with advanced screening
- 24-hour direct physician communication via email, phone, or text messaging through an advanced smartphone application
- Video conferencing (telemedicine) available to you for “face to face” appointments to avoid the inconvenience of a trip to the office
- Home visits for medically appropriate situations
- We will meet you in the emergency room when necessary to assist you in making medical decisions and to make sure your questions are answered
- We will visit you in the hospital to make sure your questions are answered and that you understand the self-care plan after your discharge
