Dr. Nunamaker Deals With O-Care — Dr. Doug Nunamaker of Wichita, Kan. has dumped all his insurance companies and he and his patients are all smiles. He said that after five years he couldn’t take the red tape.
Nunamaker has switched to a “concierge” system where patients sign up for $10 per month for pediatric services, $50 per month for those under 44 and $100 per month for all others which give clients unlimited access to the doctors along with all medical services that can be provided in-house such as EKGs and stitches.
Only cash –including credit and debit cards– is accepted.
He says his income — about $200,000 per year — is about the same as before since he was able to dramatically cut overhead but patient care is greatly improved.
The patients are strongly advised, however, to carry a high-deductible insurance for emergency room visits and illness requiring hospitalization.
