Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Dr. Laurence Chu, MD FACS in Austin, TX

The annual Membership fee does not cover the cost of services covered by your health insurance. This may include the copay, deductible, and coinsurance of your respective insurance plans.

Yes. A membership fee is required to enroll in the Concierge Choice Care membership plan and the fee is NOT covered by Medicare. Under this plan, patients remain responsible for Medicare/insurer-required copays, co-insurance, and deductibles. Any services that are provided by us and are covered by Medicare or your insurance must be billed to Medicare or your insurance, per regulation because the physician accepts Medicare or is in-network with your insurance plan. Medicare should still pay for medical services obtained outside my office.

Although I have done my best to make this plan affordable, I realize that there will be some of you who will be unable to afford my annual fee. I have a plan to maintain a hybrid office that will allow you to continue seeing me but without the added value of the concierge services.
