Ellicott City Doctor Puts Patient Care At The Forefront
Jeffrey Kaplan, MD follows his heart - refusing to bow to the demands of a dysfunctional health care system.
- Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) December 11, 2018 - Longtime Baltimore resident and internal medicine physician Jeffrey Kaplan, MD has joined the nationwide movement of independent physicians transitioning to a membership-based concierge practice.
In order to provide the level of care and service which are the hallmark of this model, Dr. Kaplan will maintain only about 15% of the patients he currently cares for.
“This decision did not come lightly. However, the demands of our health care system have deteriorated the patient – physician relationship. That’s unacceptable to me. The only way I can continue to provide the time and attention my patients are accustomed to is to transition my practice to a concierge care model. The reality is, I would be retiring if I did not do so.” Said Dr. Kaplan.
Transitioning a primary care practice to a membership-based model provides the physician with the time required for each patient and their individual care needs. In turn, that allows the physician to practice more proactive care than our traditional health care system promotes, with an emphasis on prevention and wellness.
In most concierge practices, the cost is about the same as a daily cup of a specialty coffee. In return, patients receive 24x7 direct physician access, same day or next day office visits of 30 minutes or longer and other benefits which commercial health insurance and Medicare alone do not provide. Studies indicate that concierge practices improve patient outcomes as time is the essence of quality.
So that he can focus all of his attention on providing quality patient care, instead of distracting administrative demands, Dr. Kaplan chose Paragon Private Health to create, implement and manage his concierge program.
“After years of dealing with the health system’s challenges, and mounting frustrations, the concierge program will allow Dr. Kaplan to continue to provide an enhanced level of care to his patients’ while keeping their best interests at the forefront,” Hiren Doshi, CEO of Paragon Private Health.
