MEMBER BENEFITS

Membership healthcare, a hybrid of direct primary care and concierge medicine, is a healthcare model where rather than pay large annual insurance deductibles, our patients pay a monthly or annual fee to have full and easy guaranteed access to primary care services. This model has become increasingly popular in the United States as people seek to receive more personalized, less expensive, and comprehensive medical care. A monthly fee covers excellent primary care through office visits, annual wellness exams, basic office procedures, 24/7 access to your patient portal, fast prescriptions and easy refills, in-office testing, treatment of acute illness and enhanced access to your doctor via telemedicine, all with minimal wait times in the office. This is a huge benefit to those with high-deductible health plans who

want to minimize out-of-pocket costs for basic primary care.

 

The Lighthouse Difference

Most healthcare systems are built around volume.

We built Lighthouse Family Medicine around relationships.

Our membership model allows us to maintain a smaller patient panel so we can spend more time with each patient, provide better access to care, and focus on keeping you healthy—not just treating you when you're sick.

That's why our patients enjoy:

• Direct provider communication

• Less waiting

• More personalized care

• Better follow-up

• Convenient telehealth

• A provider who truly knows them

How We Think About Our Benefits

We want to make your life better and easier. It's about removing barriers so you can focus on the things you love, both inside and outside of work.

​You may be asking yourself, how can membership health care benefit me? Here are some ways in which membership healthcare can benefit you:

​

Access to Personalized Care

One of the biggest advantages of membership healthcare is that you can receive personalized care tailored to your specific needs. In traditional healthcare models, doctors often have limited time to spend with patients, and may not have the resources to provide individualized attention. With membership healthcare, you can build a closer relationship with your doctor, who can take the time to get to know you and your health history. This allows your treatment plans to be tailored to your individual needs.

 

More Time with Your Doctor

In membership healthcare models, doctors typically have fewer patients, which means they can spend more time with each patient. This allows for more comprehensive and attentive care. This can also reduce wait times for appointments.

 

Comprehensive Care

Many membership healthcare models include a range of services beyond primary care, such as wellness programs, nutritional counseling, and men's/women's health services. This can help you take a more holistic approach to your health and well-being.

 

Better Value

While membership healthcare may seem like an additional expense at first glance, it can actually save you money in the long run. After-hours access can save you unnecessary urgent care or emergency room visits. Without a third party getting in the way of your care these clinics can offer deeper discounts on laboratory services, in-house visits, and no-cost procedures. With more comprehensive care and better preventative measures, you may be able to avoid costly hospitalizations and procedures in the future.

 

Better Communication

Membership healthcare models often include features such as 24/7 access to your doctor via text, email, or in an emergency, direct phone calls. This can make it easier to communicate with your doctor and get the care you need when you need it. This is great for any quick questions you may have about a prescription or other medical approaches that are prescribed by healthcare professionals.

 

Increased Satisfaction

Because membership healthcare models offer more personalized care, patients often report higher levels of satisfaction with their healthcare experience. This can lead to better health outcomes and a more positive overall experience.

 

Improved Health Outcomes

By receiving more comprehensive and attentive care, patients in membership healthcare models may be more likely to achieve positive health outcomes. This can include lower rates of chronic conditions, reduced hospitalizations, improved overall health and well-being, and better mental health.

In conclusion, membership healthcare can offer a range of benefits for patients who are seeking more personalized and comprehensive care. This is a great option for those who are looking for a closer relationship with their doctor and a more holistic approach to their health and well-being.
