Medical Clinic of Houston offers patients the choice for a personalized practice experience with more service, support and connectivity

Innovative healthcare model from Concierge Choice Physicians allows for closer doctor-patient relationships

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Concierge Choice Physicians (CCP), the nation's leading full-service concierge medical service provider, announces its collaboration with Medical Clinic of Houston, L.L.P. (MCH), a premier provider of health care, including primary care, same day sick visits, and specialty care for the Houston area. This collaboration allows patients to enroll in a physician's Concierge Choice membership medicine program—an enhanced service designed to offer patients more time with their physician, and a more personalized and convenient healthcare experience.

As the healthcare marketplace has evolved, the need to support patients with a variety of care options has emerged.  MCH is one of a growing number of regional medical groups that have collaborated with CCP to offer patients the full range of high quality, on-demand health care options—from quick and convenient same day sick visit care, all the way to an exclusive and personal relationship with a physician who is thoroughly familiar with their health history and lifestyle. 

Select MCH internal medicine physicians offer two new concierge programs: CCP Hybrid Choice or a CCP Fullflex™ program.  The Hybrid Choice is a unique membership program that allows a physician to provide the utmost in enhanced service and support to just those of their patients who want a relationship offering greater convenience and availability, while continuing to see and care for all the other patients in their traditional practice. The Fullflex™ model is a customary concierge approach where all patients in the physician's practice are members. This program is ideal for patients who desire more comprehensive care, including extended, same-day appointments, and enhanced communication channels. Patients are able to choose the practice experience they want, and physicians continue to accept insurance and Medicare reimbursement, as before.

"We understand that healthcare needs vary, and our Concierge Choice programs provide patients with the flexibility to choose the level of care that best suits their needs," said Karen C. Rainey, JD, CMPE, Executive Administrator at MCH. "These programs also allow our patients to secure the kind of one-to-one connection that can be really difficult in Houston's high-need healthcare environment. Our physicians are able to practice a very personalized style of medicine to which they aspire. We are thrilled to offer this service at MCH, and we are so pleased by our patients' responses."

Patients who enroll in a Concierge Choice program pay an annual fee that allows physicians to provide services that go beyond what could be offered in a traditional practice. Patients benefit from:

• A greater focus on wellness with comprehensive annual exams including specialty lab tests not typically covered by payors
• Convenient appointments
• Direct communication with their physician both during and after office hours
• Enhanced medical advocacy
• Coordination with other healthcare providers

"The last few years have been an incredibly stressful time in healthcare. There are many patients who have come to realize just how important it is to have a personal relationship with a trusted physician, and so we are thrilled to work with MCH," says Keith Elgart, Chief Operating Officer at CCP.  "This program is a great way to support physicians and medical practices who are under immense pressure, as well as Houston residents desiring the level of physician connectivity and support they are looking for, now more than ever."
