Since our founding in 1952, Internal Medicine Associates has aimed to provide high-quality, personalized, attentive care in a small practice. Seventy-two years later, these goals now seem out of step with the health care system at large. To continue to provide you with the care you deserve, we realize we need to update our practice model.

The so called “small things” our practice does routinely–providing appointment lengths sufficient to answer your questions, seeing a physician instead of a nurse or physician assistant, receiving an answer from your physician when you call or send a MyChart message –are increasingly deemed non-covered or not medically necessary by health insurance. As the financial pressures of running an Internal Medicine practice increase, many other offices skip these entirely or provide them only to a privileged few.

That is a reasonable choice. However, the way we practice medicine involves certain care that insurance does not reimburse.

Payment will be due annually on July 1st to secure a spot in the practice. If you are interested in joining the practice at a later date, please contact the office.

The annual fee isn’t linked to any one service. To ensure you remain a patient of Internal Medicine Associates, all payments are due annually by July 1st to secure a spot in the practice.

No, this payment does not get applied to your deductible.
