West Linn Preferred Care Fees
You will have easy access to your doctor 24/7 by e-mail and phone, including personal cell phone. Dr. Norcom can care for over 95% of your problems and you will have a trusted advocate to be your quarterback, helping you navigate our complex medical system. You need a doctor who will worry about you when problems arise, not two weeks later. Your medical home will also decrease your risk of being hospitalized, as hospital stays generally result from not getting the complete care you need early in the process of an illness.

Save Money on Health Insurance Premiums
Purchase a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to protect you when major problems or hospitalizations arise. Singles save about $2500 yearly and families save over $7000. Take the money saved from the insurance premium and put it (pre-tax) into a Health Savings Account (HSA). Many private banks have Healthcare Savings Accounts including First American Bank at http://www.firstambank.com/hsa.html. Your patient care coordinator at West Linn Preferred Care can answer any questions you have and assist with this transition.
Dr. Norcom can negotiate deeply discounted rates on x-ray and lab services, as well as special testing (stress tests, colonoscopies, etc.) Costs are often less than managed care companies can get. Medical facilities are very willing to deeply discount their fees when cash is paid at the time of service (a simple swipe of an HSA debit card). The facilities avoid the hassle of collection process, delay in payment, and uncertainty that the bill will even be paid.
