What is a concierge practice?
A concierge practice is a medical practice designed to avoid dealing with medical insurance and reimbursement programs. In most cases, concierge practices don’t accept insurance and charge you fees for the medical care you need instead. Some newer concierge practices use a hybrid model, so physicians can continue taking insurance while also caring for Medicare patients.
Dr. Tagdiri and his practice are part of Concierge Choice Physicians (CCP), one of the nation’s leading privately owned concierge medicine companies. This organization provides doctors like Dr. Tagdiri with models that improve doctor-patient relationships and enhance revenue models.
Concierge practices are also called boutique or retainer practices.
