Concierge Medicine Q&A

What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a unique medical model that expands your access to personalized, high-quality health care. With concierge medicine at Calabasas Medicine Group, you pay a concierge program fee. 

Concierge care is like a subscription program that gives you improved patient-physician communication and more customized care. Your office visits are still billed to your health insurance company, but the concierge medicine fee covers the personalized care insurance doesn’t provide. 

What are the benefits of concierge medicine?

The concierge medicine program at Calabasas Medicine Group offers many advantages, including:

  • Extended non-rushed office visits (60-minute physicals, 45-minute follow-ups)
  • Expedited (often same-day) appointments
  • Prescription refills
  • Review of all your current medications 
  • Customized aftercare summary following each visit
  • Little-to-no wait time for appointments
  • Direct phone, email, and text contact with the team
  • In-office ultrasound studies: echocardiogram, carotid ultrasound, and aortic ultrasound
  • In-office lab draws
  • Advanced lab testing, including BioFire respiratory virus panel (PCR analysis)
  • Coordination of specialist care 
  • Periodic chart assessment to make sure your health is optimized 

The concierge medicine program gives you the personalized and detail-oriented care you need, whether you need chronic disease management or are a healthy person focusing on preventive medicine and maximizing wellness.
