How does PrivaMedis differ from other concierge practices?

At PrivaMedis we offer much more than conventional medical care—we act as your long-term healthcare partner. By taking a thorough and comprehensive approach, we help patients with all aspects of their health, whether it’s preventive care and advanced diagnostic testing or coordinating with specialists, receiving hospital treatment, or recovering. Thanks to our solid relationships with top hospitals and our wide network of specialists, we stay actively involved at every stage and ensure smooth communication alongside personal advocacy. We also assist patients in exploring the latest evidence-based developments in longevity medicine, healthy aging, hormone optimization, and other forward-thinking therapies aimed at improving health and extending healthspan. It is this dedication to personal, private, proactive, and preventive care that truly distinguishes PrivaMedis.

What if I need to be hospitalized?

In the event you need to be hospitalized, we will remain involved in every aspect of your care. PrivaMedis physicians have met patients at the emergency room, expedited patient care, and served as a trusted advocate for hospitalized patients.

Who will cover for you when you are not available?

You will be seen by one of our PrivaMedis providers when your own doctor is unavailable.

Do I still need health insurance if I enroll with you?

Yes. Our medical practice does not take the place of general health insurance coverage and is not a health insurance program. You are advised to continue your Medicare or other insurance programs.

Will you be a ‘Provider’ for Medicare?

Yes. We will continue to submit claims to Medicare and to your supplemental insurance on your behalf for Medicare-covered services. Patients will be responsible for deductibles, copays and exclusions in accordance with individual insurance plan guidelines.

Will you be a ‘Provider’ for my commercial insurance plan?

We intend to remain in-network providers for most major PPO insurance plans and will bill your insurance directly for all covered services. Patients will continue to be responsible for deductibles, copays and exclusions in accordance with individual insurance plan guidelines. It is our intention that no insurance-covered medical services are included in your annual fee. We will not be able to accept HMO insurance plans in our new practice due to their restrictive nature.

Will Medicare or my private insurance reimburse my annual fee?

The annual fee is not reimbursable by Medicare or your commercial insurance plan.

Is the annual fee tax deductible or reimbursable through my FSA or HSA?

In many instances, the annual fee is payable through your HSA. You are advised to consult with your FSA or HSA plan administrator, employer, HR representative or tax advisor to clarify qualification in your particular circumstance.

What about lab, x-ray, specialists’ fees and hospitalization?

Your annual fee pays for membership in the practice, and for many other non-covered benefits. All procedures and services not performed in our office will be billed by the performing physician and/or entity.

What if I have an emergency?

Please know that you can contact us at any time; however, if you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately. If you have a non-urgent problem, please contact us first.

What do I do if I become ill while traveling or away on an extended vacation?

If the problem is minor, call us first. However, call 911 if you have a life-threatening emergency. Then call us. With the exception of controlled substances, most prescriptions can be ordered anywhere in the country. If you seek care at an emergency room or urgent care center out of our area, we would request that you have the doctor seeing you call us for coordination. We will be readily available for phone consultation with you and/or other healthcare personnel. If you should require hospitalization while away, at your request we will attempt to establish regular phone communication with you and your attending physician(s) to ensure continuity of care.

What if I need to see a specialist or a surgeon?

We are available to help you decide which specialist to see and to coordinate such consultations, should you desire. In this way the most appropriate resource is used, the earliest arrangements are made, and your applicable medical information is sent in advance of your specialist visit.
