Membership Model
The traditional model of primary care requires providers to prioritize high patient volumes over high quality care. Most of their appointment slots are 10-15 minutes, and are often “double-booked.” A typical family doctor has 2,000-3,000 patients on their panel. There are many reasons for this system, but it is without a doubt not in the best interest of individual patients.
At Valle Health we have created a patient-centered approach to deliver personalized care of the highest quality. Dr. Ward’s patient panel will be limited about about 1/10th the size of traditional practice. He will have the time to address your needs, and craft a personalized plan for your health.
Cost
$3,000 per year (or $1500 every 6 months)

Insurance: At Valle Health we accept nearly all forms of insurance. Your insurance will be billed in a similar way to a traditional doctor’s office. This is separate from your membership fee.
No Insurance/Out of Network: You will be billed a flat rate for individual visits, in addition to the membership fee above
