What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a membership-style healthcare plan in which you pay a monthly or yearly fee to Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions. 

Your investment goes toward expanded access to healthcare, with special members-only benefits like personal contact with Dr. Passarelli. Most or all of your visits to Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions are covered by your concierge medicine fee. 

The practice accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare, but for the most part, insurance only covers basic necessary care. So, concierge medicine can work alongside your health insurance to ensure you get the most complete medical care possible.

What services are available through concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine offers services such as:

• Direct contact info for the doctor, around the clock (email and phone)
• Comprehensive  health and wellness screenings
• More frequent appointments than your insurance covers
• Health Coaching and lifestyle support, like smoking cessation, weight loss, and stress management
• Chronic disease management, including monitoring remote monitoring
• Mental health care
• Prompt specialist referrals where needed
• Supervision of Palliative care and end-of-life care where needed
• House calls (within the Greater Chicago area)
• Telemedicine appointments (within the states of Illinois, Arizona, and New York)

At Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions, your medical care is always personalized, so Dr. Passarelli provides whatever type of care suits your situation best. 

How is concierge medicine different from traditional medicine? 

Beyond the fee-based structure, one of the biggest differences between concierge medicine and traditional medicine at Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions is the relaxed approach to appointments. 

The concierge fee allows the practice to maintain fewer patients overall, so you can have longer, unhurried appointments whenever you need them — with plenty of chances to ask questions, discuss goals, and get customized healthcare advice. 

The smaller patient roster also allows Dr. Passarelli to really get to know her patients, ultimately allowing her to customize your medical care and support your optimal health long-term. 

At Integrated Express Healthcare Solutions, you get a truly elevated medical care experience every time, thanks to the concierge medicine program. Patients of all ages (six months and up) are welcome, and families can join as well.
