Why did the doctor choose this route and what does it mean for me as a patient?

 October 27, 2008

To my dear patients,

By now, most of you are aware that I have restructured my practice model, effective September 1, 2008. We now practice under a retainer style, annual membership model. Following the “121Dr” fee-for-care model, we now charge a single annual retainer fee for unlimited access to care!!  I am rapidly reducing my practice size to allow time for the personal, preventive primary medical care that I truly love.  My many years of experience in family practice and as a national expert in bio-identical hormone therapy allow me to facilitate the vast majority of patients’ medical needs without restriction or hassles. Now, one annual fee for unlimited access to care includes longer appointment times, my personal cell phone, home phone, 24/7 access, e-mail and same business day appointments. My personal goal is to deliver timely, highly personal and comprehensive services. It is all about having a one to one relationship with you, and I heartfully request you join us!! I want to be your personal physician.

As you are well aware, I have long held the belief that our modern health care system is neither healthy nor caring. The predominant health care model in our country is overly burdensome.  The model has a negative effect on both patients and health care providers.  Sadly, it significantly benefits insurance companies and drug manufacturers, and I don’t see many patients getting REALLY better.   In our model of care, I work directly for the patient’s I love, not for some uninvolved third party. I severed the ties of the abusive relationship I once had with insurers and the government by changing to a "fee-for-service" model and now I think I can do it even better with Dr Ewin’s "fee-for-care" model!

 Please view the videos of Chris Ewin, MD at www.121DrConsulting.com. He is the founder of 1:2:1Dr and articulates the problems in health care and some solutions; he is helping me in my practice conversion.

 Your stories of renewed health and wellness remind me daily that this is the right course.  It has taken much effort to make this model work. Each of your lives encourages and blesses me.  I want to do the best job I can for those who have chosen me. This means reducing my practice size by 66% and doing a better job for those who stay with us.

I know this new concept may be difficult for some, and is it not my intention to hurt anyone, but I feel the cost will be well-worth the price.  (Having paid more than this recently to restore one bad tooth, the comparison cost seems very low!) More importantly, it will ensure the patient doctor-patient relationship to which I aspire.

 For some of you, funding may be available through your flexiable spending or cafeteria accounts.

I invite you to join my remodeled practice.  Please consider joining now. We were 1/3 full after only 10 weeks of offering this membership! I also warmly welcome referrals from your friends and family members. This is the type of practice that I always wished for when I decided to take the long path to become a family physician, and partially achieved with my retail model. We always offer a FREE “meet and greet” appointment if you are unsure about us and our vision. We advise you strongly to review your current health plan. Is there real value in what you get for your current insurance premium? Can you increase your deductible, reduce your premium and get greater value paying us instead? We would LOVE to have you join our cutting edge, friendly, warm, medical home.

Thank you for your love and support. Your stories and successes are what motivate me.  I look forward to seeing you in the office as a joining member soon!

Most respectfully yours,

 Ellie Campbell, D.O.
