Embracing a Simpler, More Transparent Approach to Family Medicine in Vienna, VA
We are moving away from the complexities of traditional fee-for-service billing to a straightforward, membership-based model. Let’s explore the evolution:
Moving from the Old DocTalker Model:
- Previous System: Pricing varied based on the duration of each visit, leading to unpredictable healthcare expenses. Patients often faced uncertainty regarding the final cost of their appointments.
- Cost Structure: Each interaction, whether an in-office visit, a quick email exchange, a phone call, or a virtual consultation, was billed separately.
To the New Vienna Family Medicine Membership Model:
- Transparent, Fixed Monthly Pricing: Enjoy peace of mind with predictable healthcare costs. Our new membership offers clear, upfront monthly rates determined by age group, simplifying your healthcare budgeting.
- All-Inclusive Membership: Your monthly membership fee covers unlimited access to care. This includes all office visits, phone consultations, email communication, and virtual appointments – all without any surprise additional charges.
