Our Program
What is a Membership Medical Practice?
Dr. Weinstein has a membership medical practice for which the patient pays an annual fee, similar to the Patient Centered Medical Home model, where he limits the number of patients in order to provide personalized and intensive healthcare beyond the usual and customary.
Why Is There A Membership Fee?
A fee is the best way to preserve the standard of care that you deserve and have come to expect from us. We do not want to compromise our ideals and resort to an assembly-line style of practice that would severely limit our face-to-face time with you. We will focus on a fewer number of patients and provide a higher level of personalized service. Meaningful patient interaction is what attracted us to primary care in the first place.
The membership fee includes services that are not typically covered by health plans (non-covered services) and still allows us to continue to take your commercial insurance (including Medicare) and bill them in the traditional way.
What is Included In My Membership Fee?
The Screening & Prevention Program Includes:
(Please Note: These services are NOT covered by insurance.)
- Comprehensive Executive-Style, Head-to-Toe Physical Exam
- Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) Ultrasound Screening
- Body Composition Scan
- Printed materials to help you get started with your personalized nutrition plan program and stay on track
What is Excluded from My Membership Fee & Benefits?
Your Annual Membership Fee does not cover any additional office visits, diagnostic testing, or procedures rendered by Dr. Weinstein. For these services, you will be responsible for the Co-Pays, Co-Insurance and/or Deductible as per your insurance coverage contract.
