Comprehensive primary and preventive care

October 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I heard about this doctors group a little while ago and it sounds so interesting. Qliance Medical Group is a medical practice which does not take insurance. They are kind of like your local gym but without a contract. You pay a 99 dollar fee to register with them and then a monthly fee after that. They have two options, Level 1 and Level 2.

On their website they say they also specialize in chronic disease management:

Qliance incorporates national guidelines and scientific analysis to provide our patients with state-of-the-art primary care for hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis and many other chronic conditions including primary care of some mental and behavioral health disorders. Your Qliance provider is available to provide education and training to manage your chronic condition. If your chronic condition changes and you need more specialized care than your Qliance provider can provide, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist health care provider and assist you in making decisions relating to their care.

When more specialized care is needed, we are available to assist in referrals to other health care providers. With your authorization, we will send each specialist a summary of your medical background and current issues and assist you in making decisions relating to their care. When you have completed your specialist evaluation, we will provide appropriate medical follow-up.

If you have insurance, we will seek to provide referrals to qualified health care providers covered by your policy. If you are uninsured, paying with a health savings or health reimbursement account or are otherwise paying out-of-pocket for your medical care, we will seek to provide referrals to qualified health care providers who have a policy of providing discounts to cash paying patients.

It isn’t too expensive but could make the world of a difference. If they make going to the doctor more enjoyable, it might be worth the monthly fee.

Has anyone done a program like this before? What are your thoughts? I might give it a shot and see if it works for me. I imagine I can use flex spending plan on it.

I don’t have money for the join up or the monthly fee so I don’t think it would work for me. If you use it supplementally as you’re considering it might work. I look forward to an update.

I might do it if flex plan covers it. Otherwise, it’s probably more than I can afford. The copays for doctors visits will offset some of the cost since a doctor visit is free there.

I’ll let you know.
