The problem with today's healthcare

Today’s healthcare is based on a fee-for-service model. Since insurance companies continually reduce the amount they pay for each service, it forces medical care providers to order extra tests and procedures as well as conduct unnecessary visits in order to make a living. This model needs to change in order to reduce the cost of healthcare. WhiteGlove House Call Heath has addressed this issue for routine medical care by creating a “fee-for-duration-of-time” model, also known as a membership. This model charges just one fee for a membership plus a small visit fee each time the service is used. This model caps the cost of routine care for WhiteGlove members. The annual membership fee is about the cost of one visit to an urgent care clinic. And, WhiteGlove comes to its members at work or at home, 365 days a year, from 8am to 8pm. The small visit fee of around $35 includes medical care, generic Rx medications, foods, beverages, and over-the-counter remedies. With thousands of members in Texas this model is being met with a lot of interest and is being supported by three of the largest health insurance companies in the country.
