About Guardian24/7 Premium Global Concierge Medical Care

Posted on March 25, 2010 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

What it is – How it works

[By Staff Reporters]

According to their website and TV infomercials, the principals of www.Guardian247.com developed the medical systems and protocols for the President of the United States [POTUS], senior White House officials and members of the President’s cabinet to ensure the best possible medical care anywhere in the world.

Today, the convergence of telemedicine technologies and reliable telecommunications has enabled a business model for this same level of service to be brought to the private sector – for the first time.

Telemedicine Enabled

Utilizing state of the art telemedicine broadband capability, and pre-positioned medical equipment, a team of former White House physicians administer services that are purportedly nearly as effectively as if they were on location, saving hours of time and anxiety for routine medical needs – and possibly saving a life in an emergency situation.

Like an Emergency Room

The company favors a core concept known as A ReadyRoom™ that is an installation of medical equipment, supplies and medications pre-placed and installed in a client’s primary residence and/or remote vacation home, jet or yacht. Custom-tailored to the needs and the client and his/her family and location, the ReadyRoom’s™ state of the art technology allows Guardian’s physicians to direct the proper use of the medicine, supplies and equipment either via telephonic or through advanced video teleconferencing links. The model is reminiscent of an emergency room; always on-call, available for use and expensive.  

Assessment

For those who recognize that their most important asset – is their health –  this company has a serious concierge medicine type solution that is not available to the masses. As CEO of Guardian 24/7, Jonathan Frye leads the company’s efforts to provide presidential-level medical care to clients; anywhere and anytime.

    Timing Faux Paus

    Interesting post for the few elites – right after health reform was passed for the many unwashed masses.

    I’d like to know how the compensation model works for contracted physician practices. I’d like to especially know if there are any radiology concierge medical practices. And, are there networks in Alaska?

    I am a radiologist from Alaska and want to be a concierge physician. So, please provide me these details.

    More Pros and Cons of Switching to Concierge Practice

    Ann – Did you know that the most common medical practice size is 2,000 to 3,000 patients. With so many patients to see, a doctor has limited time to spend on each person, making it difficult to establish strong doctor-patient relationships. This is why concierge medicine is gaining popularity.

    http://www.physiciansnews.com/2013/05/22/pros-and-cons-of-switching-to-concierge-medical-practice/?utm_source=5.23.13&utm_campaign=11713&utm_medium=email

    With this model, doctors are able to provide more attentive care while maintaining the same revenue flow. There are many factors to consider before a traditional medical practice can make the switch over to concierge medicine.

    ‘Mystery Shoppers’ Found It’s Easier To Get Appointments When Paying Cash

    When a team of medical “mystery shoppers” tried to get primary care office visits as new patients, they discovered that they needed private insurance coverage or had to be willing to pay at least $75 in cash upfront — or the majority of providers wouldn’t see them.

    Researchers assessed new patient access to primary care providers. Their study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, asked a couple of important questions about insurance coverage and access to healthcare in the U.S.

    Anyone surprised?

    Ethics

    Is it wrong for very experienced doctors to opt out of Medicare / private insurance and collect what the market will pay?

    At the end of the day, I believe we will increasingly see two-tier or multitier care systems here in the United States.
