Concierge Medical Practice Denver and Vail

In the past, many of the facets of concierge medicine were far more commonplace in general medicine. Today, fewer and fewer clinics are offering the services of a concierge doctor because they simply have too many patients and too little time. Instead, most patients go to a traditional clinic or doctor’s office only when they need sick care and spend extended periods of time in the waiting room. These visits are often very brief and singularly focused.  Afterward, the insurance company frequently denies payment and after arguing with them for many calls, some arbitrary portion of the bill is eventually paid by the insurance company. This leaves the patient with a surprise bill some months down the road.

A concierge medical practice works very differently. Rather than grappling with insurance companies over every single visit or discussion, concierge doctors and concierge medical practices use prepaid annual fees as a way to secure their time and services. And if you’re looking for a quality concierge medical practice in Denver or Vail, there’s no better option than thriveMD.

But before you decide to switch to a concierge medical practice like thriveMD, keep reading to learn more about the benefits of what it means to be attended by a concierge medical practice.

A concierge medical practice is a clinic or doctor’s office that allows you to pay an annual fee upfront to have a doctor you can see promptly for the time that you need. You can either make an appointment to visit the clinic or have a telehealth appointment with your provider. Concierge care was the standard form of healthcare for clients in decades past, but in recent years, concierge services have become much less common, especially as the healthcare system has become more difficult to navigate.

There are a lot of different reasons to consider concierge medicine. It’s not just about the simplicity of paying an annual fee or the freedom to prioritize your health and secure more one-on-one time with a provider. Some of the most important benefits you can expect at thriveMD include:

• Personalized Care: Since concierge doctors take on fewer patients than a traditional clinic, we have the ability to spend more time and attention with each patient. This can also allow you to coordinate and personalize your care with your physician. At thriveMD, we allow patients extra time to discuss their ongoing care.
• Wide Breadth of Knowledge: At our concierge medical practices, we specialize in a multitude of age and longevity-related areas of medicine. This way, we reduce the need for specialists and provide a comprehensive care plan and treatment — all from one practice. If outside care is necessary, our providers can typically recommend an excellent specialist to attend to the specific need.
• Preventative Care & Testing: Our concierge providers have the time and expertise to focus on preventative healthcare utilizing cutting-edge testing. This means you can optimize your care and get the treatment you need without having to jump through the hoops of a traditional clinic. 

• Hormone Optimization: Our concierge providers include this important longevity treatment as part of the annual fee. Changes in hormones are a natural part of the aging process, and many clinics do not offer hormone therapy without first consulting a specialist. We offer this service as part of the annual concierge longevity medical management. 

• Availability: At thriveMD, the phone is always answered during clinic weekday hours. With a limited number of patients, there is much more time spent with each patient dedicated to preventative care. You will also typically be seen promptly at your scheduled visit time.
• Longer Appointments: Since concierge doctors have a smaller set of patients, they have more time to give to each patient. At thriveMD, this is one of the greatest benefits we offer our patients. Each patient gets more time with their doctor to discuss health-related goals in depth. This way, our team can devise a care plan that makes sense and takes into account the overall well-being of each patient.
