CC:MD

The annual retainer covers the comprehensive physical exam and all in-office testing and routine vaccinations. It also includes unlimited in-office follow-up visits, phone calls, and telehealth visits throughout the year. Patients reach their physician and care team by phone, email, or the HIPAA-compliant patient portal. Physicians are also available by phone after hours for emergencies and urgent needs.

CC:MD limits each physician's panel to 150 patients. That number keeps each doctor genuinely involved in every patient's ongoing care, not just available for acute visits. For context, traditional internal medicine physicians typically carry panels of more than 1,500 patients.

CC:MD does not accept insurance for membership fees or in-office services. However, the practice submits courtesy bills to insurance companies on patients' behalf, and many patients receive direct reimbursement of approximately 70% of the in-network rate. Medicare does not cover in-office visits or in-office testing at CC:MD, but Medicare does cover routine labs, imaging, subspecialty care, and hospitalizations.

Yes. CC:MD physicians are available by phone after hours and on weekends for emergencies and urgent medical needs. Patients also communicate with the care team through a secure, HIPAA-compliant patient portal powered by athenahealth.

Yes, CC:MD offers telehealth visits as part of the annual retainer. Patients can schedule a video or phone visit when an in-office appointment is not necessary. Telehealth access is included at no additional cost for members.

CC:MD focuses on adult patients. The practice finds its model especially valuable for three groups: patients managing serious or complex medical conditions, individuals who experience medical anxiety, and those who place a high priority on thoroughness and service. That said, any adult who wants a physician who knows them well and has time to engage in their care will find the model a strong fit.

CC:MD handles a broad range of diagnostic and preventive services on-site. These include routine blood work, EKGs, overnight pulse oximetry, audiometry, preventive vaccinations, upper respiratory infection panels, and COVID-19 testing. Having these services available in the office means patients rarely need to visit a separate lab or testing facility for routine needs.

CC:MD holds full admitting privileges at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and maintains a close working relationship with UT Southwestern and William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital. For hospital stays, the practice uses hospitalists as a best practice but has CC:MD physicians consult directly with those hospitalists and provide vital patient information to support better care.

The CC:MD team actively manages referrals from start to finish. Physicians identify the right specialists, coordinate the referral, and follow up to make sure patients receive appropriate care. When a patient has an outside evaluation, radiology study, or consultation, CC:MD reviews those results as soon as they arrive and contacts the patient ready to discuss findings and next steps.

CC:MD is located at 8440 Walnut Hill Lane, Suite 540, in Dallas, Texas, near the southeast corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Greenville Avenue. The office sits close to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, which makes hospital coordination straightforward when patients need inpatient care.
