What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine is an innovative way for patients to get one-on-one access to their doctors. Concierge doctors limit their practices to a smaller number of patients, ensuring increased care and enhanced services. To limit the number of patients, concierge practices charge an annual or monthly fee.
What is included in membership to Balda Health?
Membership is “all-inclusive” for our pediatric and adult patients. You may speak directly with our membership coordinator for more details.
As a patient of Balda Health, you will have unlimited physician access by phone, text, and email. Appointments are usually available the same day and you are able to have as much time as needed during your visits. The doctors will coordinate your care with any specialists that you see and will spend time helping you to understand the full picture of your health and medical care.
How many patients do the physicians have?
Dr. Balda is currently at capacity and accepting patients by referral only. Dr. Freyman is currently accepting only a limited panel of new patients.
How is Balda Health different from other concierge practices?
As concierge practitioners, the doctors take care of every patient. Dr. Balda and Dr. Freyman are both approachable and personable, but keep patients privacy as an absolute priority. When you need to speak to someone on the phone, you speak directly with your physician. Our patients all have access to the physician’s cell phone number and many of them get to know each other on a personal level. The doctors live in Palm Beach with their families and are happy to have many neighbors as patients and friends.
Do the doctors make house calls?
Dr. Balda and Dr. Freyman will make house calls on the island of Palm Beach and in other local areas when possible. Additional fees may apply for any care provided outside of the office.
Will the doctor see me if I am in the hospital?
The doctors are both on staff at Good Samaritan Hospital and Dr. Balda maintains privileges at Jupiter Medical Center. If you are hospitalized, they will communicate directly with all physicians and specialists involved in your care. The doctors will come to the hospital directly whenever possible.
Do you take
insurance?
Our office is an out-of-network provider. Most patients receive reimbursement for a significant portion of their out-of-pocket costs. Labs and other services can be billed to your insurance directly.
