Coverage for benefits-eligible Steiner employees and their dependents who enrolled in ImagineMD took effect in January of 2021. ImagineMD uses a new cost-effective billing model different from traditional fee-for-service health insurance billing. Members, whether enrolled individually or through an employer benefit plan, pay a flat monthly fee for comprehensive advanced primary care services. Advanced primary care affords patients more one-on-one time with their physicians both virtually and in person. Patients of ImagineMD enjoy same-day or next-day appointments, 24/7 access to their own primary care physicians via phone, video and email, discounted diagnostic laboratory and imaging services, and coaching for things like smoking cessation, weight loss, and other important health goals that require long-term behavioral change.
