What is Direct/Concierge Endocrinology Care?

Excellence in Endocrine Care: Accessible and Personalized

Because endocrinology care is a specialized area of medicine with a growing population of patients and an impending shortage of endocrinologists, finding a doctor with an opening in their busy schedule has been difficult for many patients. The growing involvement of insurance companies has further complicated access by restricting patient’s ability to choose their medical providers.

Concierge Medicine of Cincinnati’s direct endocrinology service care model is returning the human touch to your endocrine treatment with concierge level personalized care. Dr. Joseph is committed to building a strong bond with you by being readily accessible at any time to better diagnose and treat your endocrine condition/s

Why Direct Endocrine Care May Be the Right Choice for You

Treating diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other hormone disorders isn’t a quick fix. Continually monitoring your care and adjusting treatment as needed can take months, if not years, and requires multiple visits with an endocrinologist.

For this journey, you need more than a doctor’s office – you need a true medical home where your provider is by your side at every step and knows you on a personal level.

The direct endocrinology care model operates outside of traditional insurance. This refreshing approach to healthcare delivery maximizes quality time between doctor and patient. This model enables Dr. Joseph to provide comprehensive, personalized care through dedicated appointments and enhanced accessibility. By maintaining a small patient population and offering straightforward membership options, she can devote more attention to each individual's unique healthcare journey.

With this approach, Dr. Joseph creates space for thorough consultations, responsive communication, and individualized treatment plans. The simplified pricing structure offers clarity and predictability, while the membership model ensures consistent access to care when you need it. Her practice is built around delivering exceptional patient care and fostering lasting doctor-patient relationships that support your long-term health goals.

How Does Direct Specialty Care Work?

Once you join one of the endocrine membership plans, your membership fee will cover your medical visits and health monitoring throughout the year. With a membership, you will also have direct access to Dr. Joseph after hours and on weekends by phone, text or email should any needs arise.

While Concierge Medicine of Cincinnati does not accept insurance for your endocrinology services with Dr. Joseph, we recommend that all patients keep their insurance plan to cover prescription costs, laboratory and imaging testing, referrals to other specialists, or unexpected emergencies that require ER or hospital visits

Benefits of Direct Specialty Patient Care

  • Dr. Joseph believes in immediate, responsive healthcare. As a member of Concierge Medicine of Cincinnati's endocrinology practice, you'll experience direct and timely access to your doctor. You can reach Dr. Joseph through simple, direct communication - text her when you need her. She's committed to prompt responses and maintaining open lines of communication with her patients. This direct access ensures you receive the attentive care you deserve, right when you need it.

  • Patients are all unique, so their medical care should be too. Dr. Joseph takes the time to get to know you on a personal level so you feel comfortable with her approach and care. Every comprehensive treatment plan starts with a deep dive into you and your family’s health history to uncover any potential warning signs.

  • Many endocrinologists spend just 10-15 minutes with a patient to ensure they can fit in more patients throughout the day. Dr. Joseph does not feel this short time is adequate and allows for at least 30-60 minutes at every visit to help you understand your diagnosis and next steps as well as answer any questions you have.

  • When you aren’t feeling your best or are having an issue with regard to your endocrine issues, you want to be seen by a provider and find relief as soon as possible. As a member of one of Concierge Medicine of Cincinnati’s endocrinology membership plans, you can be scheduled for a routine face-to-face or telemedicine endocrinology appointment within just a few days of your call.

  • Endocrine disorders can affect you not only physically, but also emotionally. Dr. Joseph provides compassionate care to help ensure you are comfortable with the plan and coordinates treatment with other specialists as needed to address all areas of health and wellness.

  • With this model of care you get concierge level treatment with straightforward pricing. There are no copays and insurance is not billed. There will be no hidden fees or surprise charges with your office visits (such as hospital facility fees or additional billing for ongoing, longitudinal care, for CGM interpretations, or for patient portal communication)
