Executive Medicine doctors and physician groups are coming together to customize health programs for groups of executives and independent businesses with an objective of reducing the lost productivity time. At the core of many Executive Healthcare packages is an Executive Physical. In many instances, the doctor will travel to company facilities in order to perform a basic physical for all executive members. In others, as in the case of Elite Executive Direct, the office visit is an option, but executives are given the benefit of in-depth diagnostic treatment, which allows for an even more in-depth analysis of their health than what is typical. This level of physical, given at a time that is convenient for the executive, is to have a positive impact on the bottom line.

The average wait to see a physician is 68 minutes. There is no wait with the Executive Direct Health associates for executives. Executive Direct works around the schedule. Nor does Executive Direct rush the visit. The visit is complete only when all of the concerns and questions answered. For those who prefer to communicate in writing, Executive Direct is only an e-mail away. Executive Direct physicians travel with hand-held e-mail devices around the clock for quick response. Of course there are times when one just wants to speak directly with the doctor on the telephone.One of the first things given to a new patient is the doctor’s personal cell phone number. Wherever business or pleasure takes you, Executive Direct is just a phone call away.

Concierge Medicine

Concierge medicine goes by many names, boutique medicine, retainer medicine, executive health, VIP medicine, and personalized medicine. By any name, concierge medicine is the solution for doctors trying to maintain their integrity and independence in today’s difficult healthcare environment.Concierge medicine is a new style of practice with old roots, in which doctors limit their patient base in order to provide patients with personalized service, high quality care, 24-7 availability, and other amenities. In exchange for this enhanced personal attention, patients pay physicians an annual fee. This concierge fee enables physicians to increase their compensation while managing their workload. In addition to receiving an annual fee, most concierge physicians continue to receive reimbursements from health plans and private pay clients. Concierge medicine is a relationship between a patient and a primary care physician in which the patient pays an annual fee or retainer. This may or may not be in addition to other charges. In exchange for the retainer, doctors provide enhanced care. Other terms in use include boutique medicine, retainer-based medicine, and innovative medical practice design.The practice is also referred to as membership medicine, concierge health care, cash only practice, direct care, direct primary care, and direct practice medicine. While all concierge medicine practices share similarities, they vary widely in their structure, payment requirements, and form of operation.
