The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed a major flaw in our health system. Minorities and poor patients are being admitted to hospitals and dying from Covid-19 at much higher rates. Mostly, this is thought to be from not getting care for chronic medical conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. Although we are not a public health department or a federally qualified clinic, we do have some resources to apply to this problem.

First, we can waive the copay for disabled patients that are on Medicare and/or Medicaid, after filling out a financial qualification form. We have always had this policy but have not publicized it much.

Second, we do know the local health insurance market, and can refer patients on Medicare and sometimes Medicaid to Medicare Advantage plans that often waive premium payments and cover copays for primary care.

Third, we do offer a substantial discount for patients without insurance who pay at the time of service. We also know how to get lab tests and imaging for less from our local labs and radiology facilities, though this is also with payment at the time of service.

Fourth, our staff is experienced and knowledgeable about local health resources, we know the locations and contact information for the local county health department, local rehabilitation facilities, addiction treatment resources, and food and shelter resources.

Finally, our clinic is a Medical Home, and we treat all our patients like family regardless of their race, background, or financial status.

Dr. Kevin Miller has reviewed the most popular weight loss medications on the market, but what he doesn’t like are the side effects – which are all dose-related. Therefore, Paradise Family Healthcare works with a local pharmacy to custom-formulate your medication at lower doses than what are normally used ... helping to avoid many of the dose-related side effects.

The weight loss program at Paradise Family Healthcare is designed for individuals with a BMI (body mass index) of 28 or more.
