What is Concierge Medicine?
Concierge healthcare has many forms and names (“boutique”, “retainer-based”, “VIP” or “membership”) but they all have one thing in common. You become a “member” of a practice and in return you get benefits above what a physician can offer otherwise. Benefits can be 24/7 access – including email and cellphone, or no-rush same day appointments, true wellness and chronic health monitoring, VIP physicals with genetic testing, and so on. The doctor can do this because instead of having to care for on average 2000-4000 patients, they take care of 300-600 patients with time and resources that they couldn’t do otherwise given the realities of independent healthcare.
Paragon Private Health is not just an expert at helping physicians convert their practices, we also help them manage the concierge program to ensure that the level of service is maintained and that patients are getting quality care. We are as discerning in choosing doctors are they are in choosing us. The physicians remain independent and practice care the way it should be done, patients get the better health services they deserve, and Paragon gets to manage the magic that makes it work.

Conversion Type:
Full Practice
A full practice conversion to a concierge medicine program is the most well-known type of concierge model (aka retainer-based). This type of conversation means your patient panel will be reduced to about 20% of your current panel but your income will not decline. All enrolled patients pay an annual membership fee and health insurance still works as is customary for covered services. The annual fee is for non-covered services such as direct physician access, more time and other value-enhancing benefits that we customize. Full conversions have the best value proposition for physicians and patients. Solo and Group practices alike can expect a better quality of life, increased income and more fulfilling job satisfaction.

Conversion Type:
Hybrid Practice
A Hybrid program is another type of concierge medicine model. This type of program allows you to keep 100% of your patient. Patients choose the level of care they prefer – concierge personalized care or traditional care. As with a Full Program, all enrolled patients pay an annual membership fee and health insurance works as is customary for covered services. The annual fee is for non-covered services such as direct physician access, more time and other value-enhancing benefits that we customize. Hybrid Programs typically enroll about 5% – 10% of the physician’s patients. A hybrid is ideal for physicians who are not ready to fully commit, want to test the concept, would like to increase their income or those who may not have the demographics to support a full concierge program. Many physicians begin with a hybrid program and then transition to a full program after 12 – 24 months. Hybrid programs are suitable for both solo and group practices.

Specialist Concierge Practice
Paragon has unique experience in creating customized concierge medicine programs for a variety of specialties including; cardiology, pulmonology, rheumatology, obstetrics and gynecology as well as sports medicine. Our methodology is proven and can be applied to a variety of additional specialties. Although many of our physicians practice primary care in addition to their specialty, that is not a prerequisite for implementing a concierge medicine program

I’m so glad my doctor switched to concierge! I’ve been seeing Dr. Long for years and have seen how much harder it was to get an appointment. Now he calls me! I really appreciate the peace of mind I have now, knowing I’m really being taken care of.
