I have health insurance, how does this membership benefit my family? Why would I pay ‘extra’ for a membership with MD Pediatric Associates when I already have health insurance?
Health insurance is not health care. We believe that health insurance policies can put barriers in the way of quality, individualized care. We created CUB Advantage with the goal to transform the traditional doctor’s visit to a more personalized, convenient health care experience for your family. We want to spend time with our patients and get to know them, so we can provide excellent care throughout their growth and development in each child’s life.
Do I need insurance in addition to this membership? Can I drop my current policy or health sharing plan?
We highly recommend that you have insurance coverage. While we provide extensive pediatric services, there can be occasions that a child will need healthcare outside of our facility or medications and procedures at our facility which are not part of the CUB membership.
We just don’t go to the doctor very often. Will a membership to Cub Advantage be worth it?
Childhood illnesses and injuries are unpredictable. Just as you may have previously paid a monthly fee for insurance “just in case”, we consider this type of care worth your investment. We anticipate this membership will help eliminate surprise expenses for your children’s medical care.
Can I try the membership before I decide to pay for it?
We do not offer trial periods for this membership, but Kimberly Kinkaid, our Practice Manager, is available for any and all questions you may have before enrolling into the membership. Please contact her at 972-420-1475 ext. 1209 or via email at cubadvantage@mdpedi.com.
Can I see the specialists of my choice?
Specialists visits are not included in the CUB Advantage membership, therefore you have the right to choose whichever specialist you want to see. You may be limited to a network depending on whether or not you have other insurance restrictions.
Can we see any clinician we want with the membership?
Yes, all clinicians at MD Pediatric Associates accept the Cub Advantage membership.
Is this concierge medicine?
Although this may seem a lot like concierge medicine, the CUB Advantage membership does not have the higher costs generally associated with concierge medicine. A direct primary care model differs in that concierge medicine usually involves a relationship with a single provider, but the direct patient care model allows you to form relationships with all of our providers and staff, enabling you to receive more timely care.
Do you accept Medicaid?
We do not currently accept Medicaid, CHIP, or any government assisted insurance plans.
