Concierge medicine is traditionally defined as a relationship between a patient and primary care physician in which the patient pays an annual fee or retainer. This fee can range anywhere from $2,000 to $30,000 a year. Many concierge doctors also bill insurance or Medicare for actual medical visits.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model for primary care being embraced by patients, physicians, employers,payers and policymakers across the United States.The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care provider.

Absolutely. Having a personal relationship with a primary care physician will help prevent adverse medical issues.

No, and this is a significant benefit to our patients. Insurance companies have become the third wheel in the doctor-patient relationship. Removing the influence of third-party payers allows us the freedom to treat our patients without interference. We act in the best interest of our patients, and not the best interest of the insurance company’s bottom line.

We recommend that our patients continue to carry a major medical plan. This will ensure financial assistance should hospitalization or referral to a specialist be necessary.

In providing superb care with unprecedented types of access, we seek to prevent or reduce hospitalizations and specialty referrals. In instances where these types of care are required, we will work closely with other specialists during your stay in the hospital.

Yes of course! Because illness and injury do not respect regular office hours, you may call, text, or email your physician any day and at any hour.

We help to provide such care – yet another freedom we enjoy together as a result of our independence from the restrictions of insurance companies. Because we’re familiar with your medical history, we can streamline your care when you’re sick away from home. In the age of telemedicine, many illnesses can be diagnosed and treated with a simple conversation by phone or webcam. We’ll locate the nearest pharmacy and order the medications most appropriate for your present circumstances.

Yes. We are very fortunate to work with the leading health insurance companies throughout South Carolina who are able to build custom healthcare insurance plans. They are able to develop very comprehensive plans that remove much of the waste and inefficiency from a typical, bloated policy. We have been able to save young families nearly $1000/month and many businesses 30-50% while still providing a higher level of care.
