Membership
-
We operate on a membership model, however, if you are interested in a single workshop you can sign up for $62 and get access for four weeks to all upcoming live workshops and the entire library of previously recorded workshops and classes. Cancel your subscription anytime within with first four weeks to avoid being charged for the second month.
-
No. Concierge medicine generally involves a yearly fee of $3000-$5000 and then visits are still submitted to insurance for reimbursement. Direct Primary Care is not concierge medicine because individual visits are included in the membership fee along with group sessions and workshops. This model was used by most primary care doctors (without the group sessions and workshops) before for-profit health insurance took over.
-
Yes, the membership fee includes medically necessary visits with Dr. Rosenberg, up to 3 personal email questions per month, same-day scheduled callbacks for urgent matters and routine callbacks scheduled within 2 days. Visits will be scheduled in the same way that they are scheduled now and will be 30 minutes for regular follow ups and 60 minutes for more complex follow ups.
-
Membership fees are Health Savings Account (HSA) eligible.
-
You will receive a link to set up automatic monthly payments which will begin on March 15th and be deducted on the 15th of each month.
-
Membership is month to month and you can cancel at any time.
-
Yes, you can. Contact membership@drgwennrosenberg.com if you prefer to pay for the year up front.
-
It is very important to us that everyone has access to this community regardless of financial situation. Please email membership@drgwennrosenberg.com to discuss options which include income-based scholarships and work-trade.
-
If you have trouble using video platforms, please contact membership@drgwennrosneberg.com. Matt, the membership coordinator, has worked in a college IT department and he is a kind and patient teacher. I am hopeful that someday soon we will be able to gather in person for some of the workshops and events.
-
No. This whole program is being put together by me and I am an introvert. I will never pressure anyone to say or do anything in a group setting. You are welcome to keep your camera off and message or email questions (even afterwards).
Insurance/Fee for Service
-
I will not be in network with insurances so non-members will pay me at the time of service and I will give them a superbill and receipt to submit to insurance for reimbursement. Some insurance policies have a separate deductible for out of network services.
-
The membership option gives us the flexibility to provide financial support but the office visit fee does not have this flexibility. Please contact membership@drgwennrosenberg.com and Matt will call you about financial support.
-
If you are paying for visits and want to have access to workshops and seminars, you can pay a monthly fee of $62 to have access to all workshops and seminars. This membership will be available to anyone who has established care with me, even if they choose to see another doctor for regular visits moving forward. As of right now, I am not offering membership to people who are not current patients. If someone you know is interested in becoming a workshop and seminar only member but is not a current patient they can email membership@drgwennrosenberg.com and we will contact them once we get a sense of whether we will have room for more people.
-
It is a deep value of mine that I provide access to natural medicine for all people, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Also, Husky never pulls the shenanigans like the for-profit health insurances do. They are very easy to work with and they are not profit-driven so they do not benefit from playing the games that for-profit health insurance does like denying claims to delay payment or requiring my billers to call and be on hold for three hours.
General
-
I appreciate everyone who made calls to BCBS about the downcoding situation. Unfortunately, people who called were lied to about how the coding works or told that my office submitted the bill with the lower code. The representatives acted like they didn’t know what downcoding or level of care adjustments were. I felt mad that they told people these false things and also I’m not surprised. If you called BCBS and were told something like this and you would like me to show you the level of care adjustment on your bill, you can email me at clinic@drgwennrosenberg.com.
-
I will still refer you to specialists and order labs and imaging as needed. Those visits and labs/imaging will be covered by insurance as long as they are done at an in-network facility. If you have a large deductible plan, I will help you navigate discount lab and imaging services.
-
Supplements will continue to work as they do now where I can send a prescription through the online pharmacy (Fullscript or Wellevate) and you can get them at a discount and have them shipped to your home, you can get them at the time of your appointment or you can let us know that you would like to pick them up and we will put them out in the box for you.
