Watch how virtual concierge medicine works
Upstate Concierge Medicine, the premier provider of virtual concierge medical care is rebranding to United Concierge Medicine and is introducing the new and improved UCMnow platform and mobile app. In just 3 short years, United Concierge Medicine has gone from providing access to a few thousand patients in Upstate NY, to over 100,000 patients across the country who now have access to their virtual concierge services.
“The growth of UCM has been amazing and we are expecting even more accelerated growth in the near future,” says Keith Algozzine, CEO of United Concierge Medicine. “While our roots and central operations are in upstate New York, we needed a name and brand that better reflected who we are today and where we are going in the future.”
While most of UCM’s initial growth has come from within New York State, they are now seeing rapid growth from other areas across the country. Many organizations now want to offer virtual concierge care to improve quality, increase access, and reduce healthcare costs. Some examples include employers, brokers, technology corporations, health information systems, colleges, wellness companies, travel assistance programs, health systems, union benefit funds and many more. As part of the new UCM services and expansion, in addition to their most popular offering of an employee concierge clinic, they now offer Workers’ Compensation, college health, mental health, virtual urgent care and nursing/residential home solutions.
“It’s really quite simple.” Says Dr. Michael Bibighaus, Chief Medical Officer for UCM. “When you combine convenience and affordability, with high quality, compassionate, and personal medical care that patient’s trust, everyone wins.”
