Since our patients have different needs, we have several service offerings.
Ongoing Care
We have had over a decade of exceptional success improving lives of our patients. For less than a price of a cup of coffee, $3.29/day, we want to give you that opportunity as well. Our ongoing care package includes:
- Being able to get in touch with the doctor and schedule an appointment with minimal delays. Virtual care is as effective in Rheumatology as in-person care (we started doing Telehealth before COVID-19 hit), and is generally available same week.
- Physical appointments tend to be less available, but are an option for those who need them.
- You have access to the physician when you need it. Not the nurse, not the assistant, not the insurance concierge.
- The doctor is working with you. Not with the computer, which is required by federal guidelines insurance companies and hospitals follow.
- We can also do multi-way virtual appointments with patients anywhere in the state of Texas, as well as their truest family members or friends anywhere in the world. We may not always be experts in your native language, but if you have a trusted partner who can translate, we don’t all have to be in the same room.
- If you have an insurance plan with out-of-network benefits, we can supply you with an in-depth receipt to support your claim after each visit.
This service is charged for every six months at the cost of $600. It is the base service we offer and all new patients come start our care with this subscription.
Rule-out service
Many patients come to us because their primary care doctor has found an abnormal value on their unrelated blood test, they learned about a condition that they think may inflict them, or they are concerned about a change in how they are feeling. These patients are seeking expert advise because they know there is a change in their body and they are typically right. That is why we start our relationship with them on an assumption that they will require the full service of a subscription.
However, there are occasional cases where there is no need for long-term care. If we make a mutual decision that subscription is not warranted, we’ll cancel all future payments.
Long-term Maintenance
Once the disease is in remission in the Doctor’s view, we can switch you to a maintenance plan at a cost of about a dollars a day. During this time you will have one check up visit every six months, during which we will review updated diagnostic results and review your well being. We can also update you on recent trends in the field of Rheumatology and see if any changes need to be implemented.
This services is charged for every six months at a cost of $300.
Resumption charge
Life is full of unexpected situations. We understand. However, restarting medical service in Rheumatology is often harder than starting from scratch. Which is why we have to charge a resumption fee of $600 to cover the extra effort required.
