Does insurance cover concierge medicine services?
While the monthly concierge medicine fee is separate from health insurance coverage and an out-of-pocket expense, North Star Clinic will bill many insurance companies for any covered services, such as office visits. The practice is in-network for several major insurance providers, so check with the office to find out if yours is one of them. The office can also bill Medicare.
How much does concierge medicine cost?
Your cost depends on your age. North Star Clinic offers monthly memberships with extremely reasonable fees. The fee schedule includes different rates for each of the following age groups.
- Ages 2-20
- Ages 21-45
- Ages 46-64
- Ages 65 and up
If three or more members of your family enroll in the concierge medicine program, you get a 10% discount. Call one of the friendly office staff to discuss the reasonable fee schedule.
Is job-related medical care part of concierge medicine membership?
If you’re not a member of the concierge medicine plan at North Star Clinic, you can still access any type of work-related medical care. This includes medical care for workplace injuries, drug screenings, employment physicals, and occupational testing.
North Star Clinic currently offers COVID-19 testing without requiring a concierge medicine membership.
If you’re already a concierge medicine plan member, work-related medical care isn’t covered under your private plan and will be billed outside of your membership.
If you’re looking for 24/7 phone access, unrushed visits, and quick appointments, concierge medicine at North Star Clinic can make it easy. Call the office or click on the online provided booking tool to arrange your visit now.
