Rebel Med NW Concierge Membership
We’ve been talking it up for awhile now, and it’s finally here. The Rebel Med NW Concierge Membership plans are live. Why have we chosen to go this direction? At the bottom of this newsletter you will find some links to articles across the internet from reputable publications documenting the struggles that have been experienced across the healthcare field in regards to insurance. You have probably yourselves experienced the frustrations and confusion associated with insurance billing.
Typically, concierge medicine has been associated with serving higher income communities. At Rebel Med NW, that is not our goal. We are trying to create a hybrid system that serves our whole community: Our own providers and staff, and the residents of our local community that come to us for care.
By choosing to be a Member at Rebel Med NW, you are choosing to put your money back into yourself, your wellbeing and longevity, as well as into your community. Your membership directly supports our small local business. Our revenue is shared amongst our doctors and staff – the very people who are seeing and serving the community – Our Community – everyday! It might take some re-prioritizing at first, but we have made our membership programs accessible and value-filled as an investment for the health of our patients.
With a membership at our office, you will be able to:
- Easily budget for your health & wellness services with a simple fixed monthly fee. Eligible for most Health Savings Accounts.
- Have better access to your provider through texting/messaging.
- Access to 24hr turnaround for urgent prescriptions and referrals.
- Access to urgent same-day add-on visits when needed.
- Waived administrative fees / blood draw processing fees
- Enjoy special Membership Pricing for our non-insurance services
- Inclusion to all VIP sales, events, and pricing
- Pre-invest in personal self-care through Membership credits that you can apply towards non-insurance services and procedures.
- Build and maintain a plan of lifelong wellness and self-care that works for you.
- All three of our Concierge Membership plans include the Vitamin Injection Membership within them.
- Our Radiant and Robust plans includes complementary spinal manipulation tune-up visits.
Here is an overview of our membership tiers
Resilient Membership
Best for those who would like a wrap-around for their insurance plans. With our Resilient Membership your insurance benefits are able to cover most of your medical needs at our office and the membership takes care of the fees. It provides better access to your doctor than your insurance alone allows, and builds in self-care incentives that you’ve already pre-invested for yourself.
Radiant Membership
This membership tier works well for patients who have insurance benefits, but those benefits don’t quite cover enough of the care that you need. The Radiant membership builds in more freedom for comprehensive care while still using what benefits are available from insurance. It provides better access to your doctor than your insurance alone allows, and builds in self-care incentives that you’ve already pre-invested for yourself.
Robust Membership
The Robust membership is for patients who want to budget for a more comprehensive healthcare partnership without the hassle of insurance involvement. You can still get labs, imaging, medications, and an allopathic PCP covered through your insurance plan, but you want the integrative and authentic care at Rebel Med NW as your primary health and wellness team. It provides better access to your doctor than your insurance alone allows, and builds in self-care incentives that you’ve already pre-invested for yourself.
