How a subscription membership practice works
The subscription membership practice, also known as concierge medicine, is a growing trend in the American medical marketplace. In it, patients are given premium care in exchange for a recurring membership fee. This has many advantages for patients, getting rid of the long stays in waiting rooms that can result in half a day or a whole day away from work just to get a ten-minute visit with the actual doctor. This makes preventative care easier to practice and helps keep patients healthier. According to Matt Jacobson, CEO of concierge practice SignatureMD, “In the U.S. we allocate 3 percent of our healthcare spending to prevention, and yet 72 percent of diseases plaguing the country are preventable. Concierge medicine is based on the principle that up-front investment in wellness will result in a reduction in acute healthcare episodes.”
Subscription membership practice also means the doctor has fewer patients to keep track of, and is able to give each of them the attention they deserve. The subscription membership practice is popular among those who have tried it. According to Concierge Choice Physicians, 98 percent of patients polled said that communication with their doctors had improved.
