We shift the focus back on you, the patient.
Our goal is to get back to the fundamentals of healthcare.
In the standard healthcare model, the individual patient is no longer the focus.
Time between patient and physician is dictated increasingly by the health system and insurance reimbursement. Physicians are incentivized to see more patients, resulting in shorter visits and rushed interactions with each individual. Consequently, a typical primary care visit often focuses on brief analysis and quick fixes without an explanation of diagnosis or in depth test result review. This method overwhelms patients and leaves them with more questions than answers.
The current system also does not optimize technology. Without maximizing technology, communication directly with the physician is difficult and when questions do arise may result in numerous needless visits. Lastly, without cost transparency, patients don’t know the final cost of a visit and can be surprised with expensive bills. These influences are increasing physician burnout and the ideal of having the same physician for 20+ years is less common.
Empowered Health is different.
First, we use a membership model. This increases cost transparency and eliminates the middle-man, health insurance companies, with involvement in standard primary care visits. With insurance no longer dictating appropriate medical decision making, time and resources can be spent to focus on health promotion or getting to the root cause of an issue. You wouldn’t wait for your car insurance to approve new tires before you upgrade bald ones, would you?
Secondly, we optimize technology in order to maximize convenience. What can be taken care of outside of an office visit should be. Our approach improves both patient and physician satisfaction, allowing for the reemergence of the 20+ year physician-patient relationship.
