YourMD is your personalized medical care program. Since our doctors treat a small number of patients, they are able to spend more time discussing your health issues and concerns. And because YourMD does not involve insurance companies for payment, you and your doctor will work together to set a course for your care without the limitations imposed by traditional health insurance plans.
What you’ll get from YourMD:
- A personal physician who knows you personally and understands your medical history
- An annual comprehensive physical exam and evaluation
- Follow-up appointment
- Up to 10 visits per enrollment year.
- Direct access to your physician - after hours via cell phone or email.
- Phone consultations may eliminate the need for office visits and save you time
- Covered parking and a private entrance/exit

Annual retainer fee is $2200 for family member; $1500 for the first child (under 18); and $1000 for second child. The fee can be paid in full or in semi-annual or quarterly installments. (Installment payments are subject to a $50.00 fee, per installment.)
Your insurance will come into play to cover costs outside what is included in the annual YourMD retainer fee. For example: X-rays, blood work (additional to Comprehensive Physical or patient specific), seeing a specialist, hospital stay, etc.
Please note: YourMD does not take the place of traditional insurance. If you do not have traditional insurance, we highly recommend an individual policy or catastrophic care policy to financially safeguard you and your family in the event of a hospitalization, surgery, etc. You can contact us for advice on this.
