Hello, my name is Dr. MacLeod. I'm a physician.
How does membership work here?
A membership practice charges patients a regular fee, often monthly or yearly, to belong to the practice. Many of these practices care for fewer patients, so visits can be longer and easier to book.
What the fee covers varies. It often includes office visits and ways to reach the doctor by phone, text or message. Some practices also bill insurance for visits, while others do not. Hospital stays and specialist care are usually outside the fee. A written agreement often spells out what is included.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your doctor can explain what your own membership includes.
Thanks for watching.
