• Concierge medicine works

  Posted on October 26, 2014

  Forbes recently published an article showing that concierge medicine more than paid for itself through fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays for those who use a concierge practice.

  Savings also come from less paperwork due to third party providers having no role or a limited role in how health care is provided.
