These unique services ensure you receive the customized, one-on-one attention you need, exactly when you need it.
Because all professional services are performed by your practitioner and the practice, the practice will separately bill you or your health insurance plan for their professional services. The practice currently participates with several health insurance plans, including Medicare, and where applicable, accepts payment from those plans as payment in full for professional services, subject to applicable deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Please note that you will be responsible for any non-covered professional services.
Please check with your physician’s office to confirm whether they accept your insurance and your specific plan. Here is a list of insurance providers that are not currently accepted by Metzger Concierge Services.
You may pay the membership fee in one annual payment, or two (semi-annual) payments, or quarterly, or monthly. Payments are to be made to the company by automatic debit from your bank account or credit card. You will select your method and timing of payment. Certain processing fees may apply.
A qualified physician will cover for your doctor when necessary, but he/she will almost always be personally available by phone or the secure messaging platform (Spruce™), to respond to your medical concerns.
In order to provide better connectivity to your physician and the membership Program, you will be provided with a secure digital and mobile media application, Spruce™. This HIPAA-compliant platform can be used from your phone, other hand-held device, or computer to directly contact your physician, to attend telehealth visits with your doctor for necessary and useful information.
CCPHP physicians have the ability to consult with and connect you to over 60,000 Castle Connolly Top Doctors® in the U.S. and internationally, as appropriate. The mission of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. (CCML) is to help consumers find the best health care. The top doctors who are listed on the CCML website directory were nominated by their peers in an extensive survey process.
