Concierge medicine is a healthcare model that offers personalized, high-quality care with enhanced access to your physician. Unlike traditional healthcare, concierge medicine typically involves a membership fee, which allows for longer appointment times, same-day or next-day appointments, and a stronger focus on preventive care. At Wave Wellness, we emphasize a holistic approach to health, ensuring that all aspects of your well-being are addressed.

The membership fee covers a wide range of services, including extended office visits, comprehensive health assessments, preventive care, and 24/7 access to your physician. While the fee includes many services, there may be additional costs for certain tests, procedures, or specialist referrals. However, our goal is to minimize out-of-pocket expenses by providing as much care as possible within the practice.

One of the key benefits of concierge medicine is the enhanced access to your physician. At Wave Wellness, Dr. Velasco is available for same-day or next-day appointments, and you have direct communication with him via phone, email, or text. This ensures that your health concerns are addressed promptly and efficiently.

While the membership fee is typically not covered by insurance, we do accept most major insurance plans for services that fall outside of the membership benefits. We can help you navigate your insurance for any additional procedures or specialist visits. The goal of concierge medicine is to enhance your care experience, and we strive to make the billing process as seamless as possible.

If you need specialist care or hospitalization, Dr. Velasco will coordinate your referral and work closely with the specialists to ensure continuity of care. Our network includes top specialists, and we assist in arranging appointments and follow-ups to streamline your healthcare journey.

Preventive care is a cornerstone of concierge medicine. At Wave Wellness, we focus on comprehensive health assessments, regular screenings, and personalized wellness plans to detect and address health issues early. This proactive approach helps prevent chronic conditions and promotes long-term health and well-being.

Longer appointment times allow for more thorough evaluations and in-depth discussions about your health. This means Dr. Velasco can spend more time understanding your medical history, addressing your concerns, and developing personalized treatment plans. The result is a higher level of care tailored to your unique needs.
