Concierge Medicine & Access
What is membership-based (concierge) medicine?
Membership-based medicine (also called concierge medicine) is a practice model where patients pay a membership fee for enhanced access and personalized care. This allows your doctor to maintain a smaller patient panel, creating time for extended appointments, same-day availability, and genuine relationships. It's about changing the system of primary care so doctors can practice medicine properly.

How is TejoMed different from a traditional family medicine doctor?
Traditional GPs manage thousands of patients, resulting in rushed 15-minute appointments, weeks-long waits, and limited accessibility. At TejoMed, your doctor cares for a limited number of members. This means more time to listen to you, understand your health goals and concerns, and guide you through life. You get same or next-day sick appointments, extended consultation times, direct phone and email messaging access to your doctor and care team, 24/7 availability for urgent concerns, comprehensive annual assessments with advanced diagnostics, and personalized wellness planning. All of our doctors are fluent in English, Portuguese, and some with additional languages. You’re not a number - you’re a partner in your health.

Can I reach a doctor at night or on weekends?
Yes. For urgent medical concerns, you can call 24/7 and reach your care team. For emergencies, always call 112 first.

Do appointments really start on time?
We respect your time and we schedule realistically so you are not left waiting. This is possible because of our smaller patient panel and realistic scheduling.

What is in the comprehensive annual checkup?
Your annual assessment includes detailed medical history review, thorough physical examination, advanced diagnostic testing beyond standard bloodwork (tailored to your age, gender, health history, and risk factors), cardiovascular assessment, body composition analysis, health risk evaluation, and comprehensive review of all results with your doctor and more. Together you'll develop a personalized wellness plan focused on prevention, health optimization, and longevity.

How is this different from a regular physical?
Standard physicals typically include basic vital signs, brief examination, and routine bloodwork completed in 15-20 minutes. TejoMed’s comprehensive physical goes beyond a routine checkup. You get extended time for careful evaluation and discussion, a personalized prevention and wellness plan based on your results, and ongoing follow up throughout the year. It's proactive medicine, not just annual checkboxes.

What is the personalized wellness plan?
Based on your comprehensive assessment results, your doctor creates a customized health strategy addressing nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, preventative screenings, and health optimization - all aligned to your specific goals, risk factors, and lifestyle. This is not generic advice; it's a roadmap built specifically for you, with regular monitoring and adjustments throughout the year.

Do you accept insurance?
TejoMed works alongside insurance and the membership fee is not covered by insurance. The membership provides things that insurance typically doesn’t cover (e.g., a dedicated relationship with one doctor, a small panel, comprehensive checkups, longer unhurried visits, direct communication, and more). Your insurance is used labs, tests and specialist referrals when applicable, while membership ensures you have a doctor who actually knows you.

Additional services often covered by insurance are billed separately and include lab tests, imaging, specialist, medications and supplements, advanced diagnostic procedures, and certain additional services like travel consultations or vaccinations. Many of these services are reimbursable through insurance.
