Treating chronic lung diseases means pulmonologists need to spend a lot of time with each patient, but this isn’t always feasible under the traditional insurer-based structure of the healthcare industry. Difficulties in receiving reimbursement also force pulmonary medicine practices to see as many patients as they can fit into their schedules, which means less time spent with each individual. As the ones ultimately holding the purse strings, insurance providers also can restrict promising treatments for pulmonary conditions they don’t see as profitable.
For these and many other reasons, a growing number of pulmonologists are choosing to convert their practices to the concierge model. Working within this subscription-based framework frees doctors to provide care in the way they see fit, and they can manage the number of patients they see so they can give each one the attention needed. Specialdocs Consultants has helped countless providers make the switch, and we can do the same for you and your practice.
The Benefits of Concierge Pulmonology
Because patients pay for services directly to their providers, the concierge model cuts out a lot of the red tape pulmonology practices typically encounter. This can lead to a wide range of benefits for pulmonary specialists and their patients, including:
- Stronger Relationships: When you don’t need to pack your schedule with patients just to make ends meet, you can take your time and get to know each of your patients as people. This means you’ll provide better care and your patients will trust you more.
- Stronger Work-Life Balance: Burnout is a serious problem among healthcare providers, but the concierge model offers you some much-needed flexibility. With more control over your schedule, you’ll be able to spend more time outside of the office. You’ll also find the amount of time spent on paperwork and insurance claims cut down to a significant degree.
- Higher Job Satisfaction and Improved Care: When you can spend more time with each patient, you’ll be able to focus more on their treatment without having to worry about hustling them out the door for the next appointment. This means you can offer pulmonary rehabilitation that’s much more personal and effective than under the standard model.
