What are the advantages of boutique medicine versus traditional practice?

Less hurried, more personalized; easier access to physicians. Longer, uninterrupted visits; same day appointments and 24/7 access to doctors familiar with the patients.

Can I become a member of MD 2.0 even if I do not have health insurance?

Yes, MD 2.0 accepts patietns that do not have health insurance.  Patients with no health insurance will need to realize ancillary services such as labs, ultrasounds and xrays may be an added cost in the absence of insurance. With insurance these items will be billed directly. Also, you might consider paying your membership fee through your health savings account.

How does MD 2.0 work with my current health insurance provider?

Your membership fee allows for benefits not covered by health insurance. Your current insurance plan will cover traditional covered costs including xrays, ultrasounds and labs, among others.

Is MD 2.0 a provider for Medicare?

Yes, both Dr. Lubarsky and Dr. Poncy are credentialed Medicare providers.

What are the fees for membership?

We strive to keep membership rates reasonable and affordable. Please contact the office for more information regarding membership rates.

Is my concierge fee to the medical practice tax deductible?

The membership fee is generally tax deductible but it is best to consult with your own CPA.

Can I use my Health Savings Account from my employer?

Generally yes, but you may want to check with your accountant.

Can I submit my annual fee to my insurance company for reimbursement?

Since the membership fee is for value added benefits not covered by traditional insurance, the fee cannot be submitted or reimbursed by your insurance company.

Do I still have to pay my co-pay, deductible or any other incurred charges outside of insurance?

Yes. We are not an insurance plan, your membership is a “value-added-service” fee and so you must still pay your co-pay, deductible and any other charges that your insurance does not cover. Patients are responsible for any fees associated with lab work, radiology or any other procedures performed at an outside facility.

What happens if I have an Emergency, does Dr. Lubarsky or Dr. Poncy follow me at the hospital?

Dr. Lubarsky and Dr. Poncy both has full admitting privileges at Jupiter Medical Center and have been on staff for over 15 years. If you need to be hospitalized, either physician will continues to care for you there as well. If for some reason you are at another hospital, he will work together with the hospital staff and sub-specialists to oversee your health and condition during your hospitalization.

Who provides medical coverage should either Dr. Lubarsky or Dr. Poncy be not available?

Hard to believe, but even doctors need some time off too. In the rare event that both Dr Poncy and Dr.Lubarsky are away, they have chosen another concierge physician to temporarily fill-in so that you’ll still receive 24/7 care.

Is there a contract that spells out what services I will get?
