Frequently Asked Questions
At PCWC, our concierge cardiology model offers a patient-centered approach to heart health. We provide personalized, proactive, and comprehensive cardiovascular care with a strong emphasis on prevention, wellness, and lifestyle optimization. Patients benefit from enhanced access to their cardiologist, extended appointment times, and care plans tailored to their individual risk factors and long-term goals.
While traditional cardiology often operates within a reactive, high-volume system focused on managing existing conditions, our concierge model prioritizes prevention and individualized care. Our approach includes
- 24/7 direct communication with your cardiologist
- Same-day or next-day appointments
- Extended, unrushed consultations
- A holistic focus on cardiovascular health, lifestyle, and overall wellness

While PCWC provides comprehensive concierge cardiovascular care, we do not bill or accept insurance for our services. However, we strongly encourage patients to maintain a separate medical insurance policy. Your insurance can be used to cover diagnostic testing, laboratory services, imaging, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, prescription medications, and other services not included in the membership. Our membership focuses on preventive care, ongoing wellness, and direct access—but it is not a substitute for health insurance coverage.
Membership fees are generally not covered by insurance. However, some patients may use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for the fee. We recommend checking with your plan for eligibility.
Our wellness programs are tailored to your needs and may include:
- Personalized nutrition counseling and meal planning
- Customized fitness and physical activity recommendations
- Optimal body composition assessment
- Weight management strategies
- Stress management strategies (e.g., mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques)
- Sleep assessment and optimization plans
- Smoking cessation support
- Ongoing progress monitoring and goal adjustments
- Hormonal and metabolic health guidance
- Inflammatory and lipid profile management
- Emotional well-being and lifestyle coaching
- Integration of global healing traditions and holistic therapies
