Just found out my Doctor is going independent. He is going to have a patient base of 500-600 patients, no more. He will be available 24/7. Same day or at worse second day office visits guaranteed. $65.00 a month to join his practice. UNLIMITED office/in hospital visits at no additional charge. Plus there are many lab tests that are also included in the 65 dollar fee. he has negotiated VERY reasonable fees (really really cheap) with outside labs such as:


Basic Chemistry Panel
CBC
Comprehensive Chemistry Panel
HBA1C
Lipid Profile
PSA
TSH
Urinalysis
Vitamin D Level

None of the above tests carry a charge of more than $19.00!

Any other testing will be sent to, or patient will be referred to a regular lab for tests. Those tests will be billed as regular insurance fees.

He will NOT take any insurance, payment will be cash on the barrel head.

Not sure if Patty and I should join this or not. We've both got insurance, but he is a GOOD doctor, something that is getting harder to find all the time. So for both of us it would be $130.00 a month.

I have insurance through work here AND Tricare. Patty has Medicare and Tricare. So insurance coverage for us doesn't cost us anything.
The quandary we are in is if the $65.00 or $130.00 a month would be worth it just to have him as a doctor?
