Why Concierge Medicine?
Why Concierge Medicine? The problem with many medical practices today is they forget that healthcare was not designed to get you well, but to keep you well. Doctors need to be proactive, not reactive. Unfortunately, many times due to insurance restrictions, doctors are focused more on the clock than the diagnosis, spending an average of less than ten minutes with their patient.
Fees, What does concierge medicine cost?
During my many speaking engagements, this is without a doubt the most frequently asked question. In today’s society, where costs and financial obligations are weighing on everyone, how can people afford such a service as Prevention First?
People are often shocked and delighted to hear that this individual healthcare comes with a price tag that is less than your daily latte or monthly cable bill. In addition, it is proven that our Southampton, Bucks County, PA and surrounding area patients actually save money. This is due to lesser hospitalizations, cutting back significantly on insurance co-pays. Your health is an investment not an expense.

Concierge Services
At Prevention First Healthcare, a concierge medical practice in Bucks County, PA, we focus on the individual needs of our patients. Dr. Marc Rabinowitz understands exactly what those needs are. Through physician physicals, screenings, counseling and testing, we develop a proactive plan to keep our patients healthier and happier. We explore family histories, current medical conditions, and lifestyle choices. This allows us to map out a patient’s individual healthcare needs and provide specific remedies. It can include weight loss and nutritional counseling, exercise programs, smoking cessation and other tools, all specifically tailored to the patient.
Through providing this unparalleled attention by your doctor, we find our patients are hospitalized less frequently and require less medications. This substantially cuts back on co-pays and prescription costs. We pride ourselves in providing an upbeat, enlightening atmosphere where people feel comfortable and at ease. Our patients know that nothing is being overlooked in a continuing effort to keep them at their personal best. They have access to their healthcare records online, available through a secure password, and a special cell phone number where they can reach a doctor 24 hours a day.
Plus, we have relationships with specialists to help expedite testing and appointments. This significantly reduces wait time and a potential lapse in diagnosis. Finally, in those cases where an illness is diagnosed and reaction is needed, we strive to be there for our patients every step of the way. In these cases, we coordinate all aspects from house calls to hospitalization, if necessary.
When a patient joins our concierge practice, they are insuring that their healthcare needs come first. Our goal is for our patients to lead healthy, fulfilling, productive lives for many years to come. And that’s why we put prevention first.
