Piney Grove Family Medicine (PGFM) represents a personalized healthcare approach centered on the patient and provider relationship.
We do not participate in insurance plans. Instead, we offer an affordable monthly membership fee that encompasses all of your primary care office appointments.
As a member, you also enjoy added perks such as on-site laboratory services, which may come as a surprising source of long-term savings.
You can reduce the need for many visits by directly reaching out to us through email and text, which is a feature typically unavailable in traditional healthcare practices.
We've successfully negotiated favorable rates for laboratory testing. Better yet, we pass these cost savings directly on to you.
Good health is what we all strive for.
Chances are, however, you will at some point get sick or injured.
Piney Grove Family Medicine will be there for you, able to give you the care you will need without long waits or expensive Urgent Care co-pays or ER fees.
With out-of-pocket deductibles close to or over $5,000, it doesn’t take much more than a trip or two to Urgent Care or the ER for the cost of Piney Grove Family Medicine to be well worth the low monthly fee.
Yes, sort of… but with a few distinct differences.
Concierge medicine has traditionally been described as a medical practice for wealthy patients who pay an expensive premium of upwards of $5,000 annually to see their provider.
Concierge providers typically still participate in insurance, so the rules and restrictions of health insurance are still in place.
Piney Grove Family Medicine offers patients concierge-like service and personalized primary care.
Piney Grove Family Medicine offers membership fees that are much more affordable and does not participate in insurance. This makes personal healthcare without hassles affordable to everyone.
Some have called it "concierge medicine for the average person."
Our providers can coordinate a patient’s care with the hospital’s team. If you require hospital care, you will likely be under the care of a specialist. Hospital and specialist fees are not covered by our membership. Other hospital charges and associated costs will still apply. That’s when your insurance will come in. Your Piney Grove Family Medicine provider will then pick up your care upon discharge. They will work closely with the specialists and hospital team upon admission and discharge so that there is continuity in all of your care.
