Cardiac Point of Care
The Problem
The standard of care in the US is mediocrity – unpredictable costs and scheduling inconveniences. These frictions demotivate the average American to seek preventative care. The compromise: go back to work and kick the can down the road until minor medical problems become major ones.
It is very expensive to be sick in the US, with plans providing less than full coverage and with an often unpredictable and non-transparent variety of cash/out-of-pocket costs.
The Solution
We believe that exceptional health care should be accessible to everyone, especially in the realm of Executive Medicine. Our unique, mission-driven routine examination model with connected ongoing communications offers an unparalleled doctor-patient relationship with a commitment to equity in healthcare.
Investment in a better care prevention model, with services outside of and in excess of plan coverages, makes financial sense given the US healthcare system’s deficiencies and coverage gaps. Our cash services model delivers care that vastly exceed healthcare insurance plan coverages, so none of our cash services represent covered services and the fees cannot be submitted to plans. That said, we are in Medicare and in network with most plans, and, while the majority of our interactions will have nothing to do with insurance, we will occasionally be able to bill your plan for plan-covered care if/when we think that plan service makes sense for you. And we have designed our program’s cash fees to qualify as “medical expenses” such that employer and pre-tax funding (HRA, FSA, HSA and MSA) is available—check with your tax expert and employer plan coordinator for details.
Cardiovascular disease is frightening but it is not the destination. Your heart may be speaking to you and now you must listen. The goal of Cardiac Point of Care is to empower you with a new level of self-awareness so you can listen to your heart and take action to live the life you want. If you are at point A (Disease), we want to move toward point B (Health). If you are serious about this journey, you have to imagine what point B looks like to you. You must also acknowledge you are at point A and have the courage to understand why. When Cardiac Point of Care assesses your Cardiovascular condition in the context of your home, you begin to understand the barriers and pitfalls of your journey from Disease to Health. This sets the stage for a huge transformation and this is the magic of Cardiac Point of Care!
