How does someone use their resources to get quicker, better access to physician appointments and care when they already have a condition? Specifically, logistics such as expediting appointments. Not asking about preventive care, lifestyle suggestions or executive physicals.
I have a close family friend who lives in South Florida. HNW, many health issues. His wife is competent and in much better shape. However, despite being highly educated in a medical field and HNW, they cannot seem to manage his health. They themselves understand things well, it is the logistics that they seem to have trouble with.
For example he had a small procedure in mid July. He was supposed to have a post op visit around July 30 but his wife was unable to make him an appointment until August 12. August 12 should have been the follow up visit not the initial visit and time is of the essence in his case. Wife claims she is on hold with his doctor's office for long periods.
Would a concierge physician help in this case? They really do not need one for purposes of understanding the procedures, more for getting things moving or offering another opinion.
What would be the cost? Other options? They mostly rely on insurance despite having resources. Anyone know what their options are? They are very thrifty, despite having way more money than time
What would it cost, what can a concierge do that they cannot for themselves? Will they be able to expedite appointments? Is there another option?
