Membership Medicine offers a departure from traditional insurance-based primary care. Unlike the typical seven-minute appointments, our approach provides members with unrestricted access to their physician, ensuring ample time for personalized care. With an annual membership, patients can expect a higher standard of care and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their healthcare provider prioritizes their well-being above all else.

Patients pay a fee directly to Woodside Internal Medicine to become practice members. With this membership, all visits are included in your annual fee, eliminating the hassle of copays or unexpected charges for appointments. This membership model benefits both patients and providers in several ways. By moving away from the fee-for-service model, which often prioritizes quantity over quality, we can focus on delivering personalized care to each patient. With fewer patients to manage, our providers have the flexibility to spend more time with each individual, fostering stronger relationships and allowing for a more thorough and personalized approach to healthcare. One of the key advantages of our membership plan is the ability for patients to access care when they need it most. Whether it's for routine check-ups or urgent medical needs, patients can schedule appointments with their physician on the same or next day, ensuring timely access to quality care. Typically, patients in this model have better health outcomes and are more satisfied.

We offer two plans:Concierge Primary Care: $240 per monthExecutive Health: $420 per month Pricing is the same at every age.

Membership medicine is an alternative payment model to insurance, so our office does not file insurance claims for you. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you may be able to submit invoices for HSA reimbursement.

While we do not require insurance to join our practice, we strongly recommend carrying a health insurance policy to help cover costs for outside medical services.

We are considered non-participating providers of Medicare. However, we can refer you to specialists, hospitals, and imaging facilities. If a patient has a managed care plan or Medicare, those visits, hospital stays, and imaging are typically covered by insurance.

Membership is a one-year agreement that renews automatically each year. You can cancel at any time with 30 days’ written notice. Much of our work happens at the start of your membership, including your first evaluation, records review, and annual exam. Because of that, the first 3 months are a minimum term: if you cancel during that time, the fees for the rest of those 3 months still apply. If you’ve paid ahead, we’ll refund any fees for the time after your membership ends.

Yes, for Executive Health members. The Executive plan includes 2 home visits per year during business hours, within 15 miles of our office. Home visits are for planned care such as annual exams, lab draws, vaccines, or a follow-up after a hospital stay. They aren’t for urgent or emergency care. You can add more visits for a fee. Home visits aren’t included in the Concierge Primary Care plan.

Membership fees may be paid or reimbursed from an HSA or FSA. One thing to know: under new IRS rules that began in 2026, people with a direct primary care membership can keep contributing to an HSA only if the fee is $150 per month or less ($300 for a family). Our fees are above that limit, so joining may affect your ability to make new HSA contributions. FSAs aren’t affected by this rule. Please check with your tax advisor or benefits administrator before you enroll.

Starting in 2026, Bronze and Catastrophic plans bought by individuals are treated as HSA-compatible. That includes plans bought through a broker, as long as the same plan is also offered on the HealthCare.gov marketplace. Bronze plans offered through a small employer don’t qualify. These plans can be an affordable way to cover emergency, hospital, specialist, and imaging costs alongside your membership. Because our membership fees are above the IRS limit for direct primary care, joining may affect your ability to contribute to an HSA, so please check with your tax advisor.

This depends on your specific insurance carrier. Some modern plans allow you to submit your membership receipts to be credited toward your annual deductible. We recommend checking with your insurance broker or HR department to see if your 2026 plan supports "Deductible Crediting" for primary care memberships.

The process is simple: HSA Debit Card: Most of our patients simply use their provided HSA/FSA debit card to set up their monthly membership autopay. Reimbursement: Alternatively, you can pay with a personal card and reimburse yourself from your HSA account using our monthly receipts.
