Naples Health & Wellness

Members pay an annual fee to join the practice. That fee covers membership access and the enhanced services Dr. Bernstein provides. Professional services during visits, such as lab work and procedures, fall outside the membership fee and bill separately to your insurance. Specialdocs Consultants, LLC manages membership enrollment, billing, and renewals, and you can reach them directly at 847-432-4502.

Yes. Naples Health & Wellness is a medical practice, not a health insurance program. Dr. Bernstein remains in-network for many major PPO plans and participates in Medicare, so he bills insurance directly for covered professional services. He strongly advises members to maintain their existing insurance, Medicare, FSA, or HSA coverage alongside their membership.

Dr. Bernstein intends to remain an in-network provider for many major PPO insurance plans and will bill your insurance directly for covered professional services. He also participates in Medicare and files claims on your behalf. If he falls outside your specific plan's network, he will work to refer you to in-network physicians and facilities for consultations, diagnostics, and hospitalizations as needed.

Routine visits run approximately 30 minutes. The Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment runs approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Dr. Bernstein reviews every patient's chart before the day begins, so appointments start on time with little to no waiting room time. If a visit needs extra time for a complex issue, he accommodates that as well.

Yes. Members can contact Dr. Bernstein directly by cell phone for urgent issues after hours. For non-urgent questions and messages, the practice uses EPIC MyChart for secure direct communication. During business hours, a real person answers the phone, with no recordings to navigate.

Yes. Dr. Bernstein keeps his panel small specifically to make same-day appointments available. Members experience little to no waiting room time, both because of the limited panel size and because Dr. Bernstein prepares thoroughly for every scheduled visit before arriving at the office each morning.

Yes. Dr. Bernstein offers virtual visits via telemedicine as an option for members. Telemedicine works well for follow-ups and non-urgent concerns that do not require an in-person exam. Members can request a virtual visit by contacting the office directly.
