Key Benefits of Personalized Concierge Care

Preventive Cardiac Care: Concierge members receive extensive annual wellness assessments, including detailed exams and cardiac screenings such as echocardiograms, 12-lead EKGs, and other preventive tests. This allows for the early detection of potential health risks, enabling proactive measures to support optimal health, regardless of the patient’s current medical status.

Reduced Hospital Visits: For those with known cardiac conditions, concierge care aims to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and hospitalizations. By providing direct access to healthcare professionals and avoiding over-reliance on medications when possible, residents can experience both better health outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

Around-the-Clock Access: Concierge members benefit from 24/7 connectivity with their cardiovascular team, whether through phone, text, email, or home monitoring systems. This high level of access enables quick responses to any changes in health, with immediate attention, including next-day office appointments and even house calls when needed.

Coordination with Specialists and Primary Care Providers: Innovation Cardiology works closely with each patient’s primary care doctor, ensuring seamless care coordination. Additionally, patients benefit from in-office state-of-the-art cardiovascular diagnostics, enabling timely and comprehensive management of conditions such as high blood pressure and heart rhythm disorders.

A Focus on Education and Wellness
Innovation Cardiology offers a wide range of wellness programs, seminars and web-based classes covering topics like exercise physiology, sleep hygiene, and new treatment options, all based on American Heart Association guidelines. These programs encourage residents to take an active role in managing their health while offering opportunities for interaction and personalized learning.

In the event that hospitalization is required, Innovation Cardiology ensures continuous care by maintaining close communication with treating physicians. Residents also benefit from remote medical coordination while traveling, ensuring that healthcare needs are addressed no matter where they are. Concierge members’ family and friends visiting the Norfolk area can also receive care if a medical need arises. This thoughtful inclusion extends Innovation Cardiology’s personal touch beyond just residents, offering peace of mind to their loved ones.

Insurance and Annual Membership
Innovation Cardiology works with various insurance plans, including Medicare, for services covered by insurance. However, the annual membership fee—payable through HSA/FSA accounts—covers concierge-specific benefits not included in traditional insurance plans. With limited enrollment, the practice ensures that all patients receive the time and attention necessary for personalized, best-in-class care with a dedicated medical team.
