Our Practice
Over the last several years it became clear that the current medical system was not meeting the needs of our patients. Many patients were frustrated by poor access to their physician, long waiting times for short appointments, slow responses to phone messages, and physicians who no longer called on their patients in the hospital or nursing home. We knew that on average 40 cents of every dollar our patients spent was wasted on trying to get their insurance companies to pay for their care.
At Vantage Physicians, we are deeply committed to providing prompt, friendly, quality medical care to our patients. Our practice model allows us to focus on our patient’s needs rather than the requirements of their insurance carrier. We are free to focus on the primary interaction in healthcare: the patient-physician relationship.
Vantage Physicians, founded in 2006, is a Direct Medical Practice: a unique and growing model of healthcare where the consumer pays the physician a direct monthly fee, reducing the paper work, labor and waste involved in billing and rebilling insurance carriers.
