Around 2008 I got a letter from my doctor in VA that he was leaving the medical group he was with and going concierge. It think it was a $1500 annual fee, no insurance accepted, but you get personalized service, direct access, no long waiting periods for appointments, etc. I was moving to AZ, so I didn't care.

Just got the same letter from my doctor here, whom I really like and whose medical group I really dislike. This letter didn't mention pricing or terms and conditions, said that letter is coming in a month or two. I don't know that I use enough medical care for this to make financial sense to me. The new office would be a 15 min. instead of two min. drive from my house. I go in twice a year for blood work and script refills.

Anyone here been through this? Is it worth it?
