DPC not Concierge Clause Samples

DPC not Concierge. This Agreement is for membership in Practice’s Direct Primary Care (“DPC”) Program and is not an agreement for membership in a concierge program. The difference between DPC and concierge is DPC provides patients with certain primary care medical services for the payment of a flat monthly fee. Concierge, on the other hand, involves patient’s payment of a flat monthly fee to obtain immediate or priority access to a physician but does not cover the cost of any medical services; patient’s insurance is billed for these medical services. Accordingly, while this Membership Agreement will provide after-hours access to Patient’s provider via telecommunication and provide Patient with an office visit during normal business hours for acute issues, Patient will not be entitled to an immediate office visit or access to his or her provider whenever Patient so desires.
