Getting personalized care is an important part of making sure that you’re maintaining your health. If you’re looking for a way to get personalized and affordable health care, look no further than concierge medicine in Washington DC. Our team at Weekend Whitecoat offers medical care that’s tailored to your needs with concierge medical services. We want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your membership, so we’ve assembled a short guide to help.

Ask questions

One of the best things you can do to get the most out of medical services is to ask your doctor questions. Don’t be afraid to address small irritations, recurring pains, or questions about getting older. You can easily find a lot of information online about what you’re experiencing, but you’re not going to get a personalized answer. Your Provider knows you and understands your body so you can learn more about the recurring pain in your shoulder directly from your Provider than you can by searching the internet.

One of the benefits of concierge medicine is time. You’re going to have more time to visit at each appointment, so you don’t have to feel rushed in getting in and getting out of your appointment. Your Provider can benefit from this by not having to rush through each visit, but you can also benefit by having time to ask questions about your health.

See your PCP when you need to

One of the reasons many people avoid visiting their PCP is because they don’t want to pay the copay for the visit. With your concierge medicine services, you’re paying for your membership anyway. Aside from your yearly house calls, you can access your provider via telemedicine whenever you need it. This allows you to see your team when you’re not sure if you have a cold, a sinus infection, or you’re simply dealing with allergies. Your concierge provider is more accessible than any provider you’ve ever had so you should take advantage of that.

Get your flu shot

One way that you can maintain your health each year is by getting your flu shot. Each of our plans includes an annual flu shot so that you can make sure that you’re taking care of your health and those around you during the cold and flu season.

Formulate a wellness plan

Putting together a wellness plan on your own can be difficult. You probably have an idea about what you need to do to improve your health, but your Healthcare provider has insight that you don’t have. After getting lab results, you can work with your PCP to identify areas where you can improve your overall health. This might include an exercise plan with a nutrition plan that will help to reduce cholesterol, combat high blood pressure, or address any other areas you might be having trouble with.

Don’t forget your annual physical

Aging happens slowly over time, but you’ll find that your age starts to sneak up on you. It can feel like one day you’re healthy enough to eat cheeseburgers several times a week, then before you know it your PCP is telling you to cut back to once a month. Keep track of your body and how you’re aging by getting an annual physical. Our team at Weekend Whitecoat offers plans that start with two house calls each year and one of them is for an annual physical. Don’t skip your physical so you can establish your baseline each year.
