Internal Medicine Associates of Cincinnati

The annual membership fee at Internal Medicine Associates of Cincinnati is $2,500 for all new members. Members can pay the full amount annually or split the fee into quarterly payments. The practice prefers checks; credit cards are also accepted with a 3% convenience fee.

Internal Medicine Associates of Cincinnati does not accept HSA or FSA funds for membership fees at this time. You may want to speak with your insurance plan advisor about potential reimbursement options, as some private plans do allow it.

The membership covers a comprehensive annual physical, wellness exams, work-related biometric screening exams, routine and acute illness visits, and chronic disease management. It also includes unlimited visits, email, text, and phone access to Dr. Piersma, direct physician-to-physician communication with specialists, and most in-office procedures.

Yes. The membership fee covers your time with Dr. Piersma, but you still need health insurance for other medical expenses. Lab work, imaging, prescriptions, specialist visits, and hospitalizations all require separate coverage.

The practice does not bill health insurance for in-office care. Members pay no co-payments, co-insurance, or deductibles for services Dr. Piersma provides. The practice can supply an invoice of services if you want to explore reimbursement options with your insurance plan.

Prospective patients can call 513-854-0100 or reach out by email to schedule a meet-and-greet visit before joining. That visit is a two-way conversation for both parties to share expectations and decide if the practice is a good fit.

Dr. Piersma holds staff privileges at The Christ Hospital and Mercy Hospital. If you require hospitalization, he communicates directly with the emergency and hospital physicians managing your care. He advocates for you throughout the process and ensures the care team has a full picture of your medical history.

Yes. Dr. Piersma uses EPIC with MyChart, the same electronic records system that all major Cincinnati health systems use. When you see a specialist affiliated with those systems, they already have your current health history and medication list. In an emergency, the hospital also has fast access to your records.

Yes. Internal Medicine Associates of Cincinnati welcomes prospective patients to schedule a consultation or meet-and-greet visit first. Both parties use that time to share expectations and determine whether the practice is a good match. The visit does not include medical advice or prescriptions.
