What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a membership-based primary care program. By paying a small monthly fee, you get exclusive access to your Innovative Medical Group provider, whether you need to update your immunizations or refill your prescription medication.

How do traditional medicine and concierge medicine differ?

Concierge medicine doctors are just like regular doctors; the difference is the services provided:


Traditional medicine

Traditional medicine uses a fee-for-service (FFS) model. Under this model, people visit their doctor’s office, pay a copay, and see their provider for 15-20 minutes. The experience tends to be rushed and can be cold and impersonal.

Furthermore, doctors have an incentive to see as many patients as possible to boost revenue.


Concierge medicine

Concierge medicine asks patients to pay a monthly fee upfront. Providers limit the number of patients they see so they can dedicate more time and energy to each person. This focus on quality time results in improved health and better treatment outcomes. 

What services does concierge medicine include?

Innovative Medical Group offers various services under the concierge medicine umbrella, including:

  • Telemedicine
  • Treatment of acute illnesses
  • Chronic care management
  • Medically supervised weight loss
  • Men’s and women’s health 
  • Preventive care
  • Primary care
  • Geriatric care
  • Prescription refills
  • Immunizations

Innovative Medical Group providers treat most injuries and illnesses, but if you need specialized care, they can refer you to nearby specialists and coordinate treatment between providers. 

What are the advantages of concierge medicine?

Enrolling in concierge medicine at Innovative Medical Group offers several advantages, including:


Shorter wait times

As a member of the concierge medicine program, you can contact your doctor anytime –– day or night. Since the team caps the number of patients it works with, they have greater availability. 


Unlimited primary care

Concierge medicine doesn’t require a copay for every visit. Your monthly fee covers everything, from bloodwork and physical exams to prescription refills and immunizations. If you have a chronic condition, like diabetes, concierge medicine may save you money.


Stronger relationship with your doctor

Since the Innovative Medical Group team limits the number of patients it sees, the providers have more time to spend with each person. That lets them get to know you better. They learn more about your health and lifestyle, making it easier to treat you.
