What are the legal issues surrounding Concierge Medicine / Concierge Physician / Retainer Medicine? I found some good documents at http://www.cp2s.com in their Information Center (http://www.cp2s.com/infocenter.asp) but it doesn't give the low level legal issues that need to be addressed. |

As far as I know, there is no legal issues. These concierge medicine practices or "boutique clinics" are popping up slowly, mainly due to growing discontent with insurance restrictions and declining payments. I've heard that in Palm Springs, patients get doctors' home phone and cell phone numbers, and even pager numbers for 24/7/365 access if they pay up the right $$$. They also get preferential appointment times and clinic access. Hey, if you can afford it, why not? |

While the last comment was right in theroy, there is plenty to think about & know from a legal stand point. Each state has certain things you should know about the law, insurance regulations, etc. There was a case in West Virginia not to long ago that forced the Dr. to close his doors on his concierge practice. I will be happy to talk to you about the business model if you will post your e-mail addreess. |
