Are you a concierge medicine practice?

No. I am not a concierge physician.  Although we make house calls exclusively and are available 24/7, we don't consider ourselves a concierge practice. How am I different from a concierge physician? It is because we don't charge membership fees or any extra fees to be a patient in our practice. Medical visits are charged to your health insurance. Also, we take almost all insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid.

​

Will a home visit cost me more?

No, there is no extra cost for Dr. Postigo to see you at home.  He will collect a co-payment and bill your insurance as your Primary Care Doctor, not as a Specialist.

 

Do I have to be disabled or home bound to have a house visit?

No. You just need to be 65 or older.

 

Do I need a referral for a house visit?

No. All you need to do is call our office to setup an appointment.

 

Will I need to switch doctors? Can he be my primary care physician?

Yes, you will need to switch primary care doctors with your insurance carrier before  Dr. Postigo can see you. He will replace your current primary care doctor.

​

What type of patients do you see?

We see patients who are 65 years of age or older in the greater Rochester, NY area, including Monroe and Wayne Counties. For locations we currently service please call our office or view our service area map online.

 

Do you make exceptions for patients under 65?

While we understand that disabled and home-bound patients of all ages have a need for at-home care, we are not able to see patients under 65.  Dr. Postigo is a Geriatrician and focuses his care on seniors only.

​

Fridays from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

​

Do you have an office?  How do I get in touch with your office?

Yes, we have an office but we do not see patients in the office since the Doctor is traveling doing home visits.
