'Wealth care' or next big thing in medicine?

Posted on by

Dr. Alan Sheff, who charges patients an additional $1,800 a year, is able to spend more time with his patients.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Patients can receive this type of comprehensive service from a growing number of primary care doctors who've switched to concierge medicine. But it comes at a price, often hundreds or thousands of dollars a year, and at a time when many Americans are already struggling to afford their insurance and medical care.

Concierge doctors generally charge patients a membership fee -- typically $1,800 a year -- outside of the traditional insurance system. They often have fewer patients -- usually no more than 600, compared to 2,500-plus for a typical physician -- so they can spend more time with each one.

Beyond those common traits, there are many models of concierge medicine, which is also called private physician or direct pay practices. Some doctors target the wealthy, charging five-figures to handle all aspects of their health care, from negotiating bills with hospitals to being in the operating room. Others charge a flat rate of $50 a month for appointments.

For some physicians, the annual fee covers all office visits. At other practices, it only buys patients a comprehensive yearly exam, as well as same-day appointments and after-hours access.

Whatever the model, patients still need traditional insurance to cover specialists' visits, hospitalizations and other diagnostic testing, such as MRIs.

Many doctors shy away from the term "concierge" because it connotes that it's for an exclusive club. They are not practicing "wealth care," as a few of those interviewed termed it.

Instead, these doctors are increasingly positioning themselves as health care providers for middle class Americans who value wellness.

CHANGLUN: The Health Ministry will monitor the price of medicine to ensure patients are not burdened by expensive medicine after the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in April next year.

Deputy Minister Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya said the price of medicine in private hospitals and clinics may experience an increase of between one and two per cent, but not all.

He said several types of medicine were exempted from GST, such as panadol, which was commonly used in hospitals and clinics.

Patients seeking treatment from government hospitals need not worry about GST as the cost of medicine is funded by the government, he told a news conference after a health programme with the people at Kampung Tradisi here yesterday.

He said private clinics and hospitals in the country must comply with the ceiling price of medicine and medical treatment set by the Health Ministry so that it would not burden patients.

Should patients be imposed expensive medicine costs after the GST is implemented they can lodge a report with the Health Ministry.

Dr Hilmi said the ministry was also negotiating with medicine suppliers to standardise prices to avoid uncontrolled price hikes.

On the flood situation in the east coast, he said the ministry has deployed 322 personnel including 157 medical personnel stationed at mobile clinics.

So far none of the flood evacuees have experienced health problems such as food poisoning. There are enough personnel at flood relief centres to monitor the health of evacuees.

I advise flood victims, especially children, to avoid playing in flood waters as it may cause illness, he added. Bernama
