Practice of Herbert A. Insel, MD, F.A.C.C.

Concierge Choice is an optional membership program at the practice. Members receive an annual comprehensive medical and cardiac exam, longer appointment times, dedicated concierge hours, and after-hours and weekend access to Dr. Insel via his private cell phone number. The program also includes enhanced coordination of care with specialists and a portable USB device for storing medical records. Call the office for details on the annual retainer fee.

No. The practice operates as a hybrid model. Patients can see Dr. Insel through his traditional cardiology practice without joining Concierge Choice. The membership program is entirely optional for those who want expanded access and additional services.

The practice accepts several major insurance plans, including BCBS/Anthem, Cigna, traditional Medicare (non-HMO and non-Advantage), United Healthcare, and 1199. Dr. Insel is an out-of-network provider for Aetna and Oxford, but the office submits claims on your behalf as a courtesy. The practice does not accept exchange or marketplace insurance plans.

The practice performs a full range of cardiac diagnostics on-site. These include Doppler echocardiography, stress echocardiography, 24-hour Holter monitoring, cardiac event recording, carotid artery ultrasound, pulmonary function testing, peripheral vascular screening, and in-office phlebotomy. Having these services in-house allows for efficient, same-location care.

The practice sits at 30 E. 40th Street, Suite 1100, in Midtown Manhattan, New York, NY 10016. The office is just blocks from Grand Central Station, making it convenient for patients throughout the New York City area.

Yes. Registered dietitian nutritionist Jennifer Insel provides one-on-one nutritional counseling through the practice under the JBI Nutrition banner. She also offers InBody 570 body composition testing. Her work directly complements Dr. Insel's preventive cardiology approach.

Concierge Choice members receive Dr. Insel's private cell phone number for after-hours and weekend contact. In one documented case, emergency room physicians reached Dr. Insel directly on a federal holiday to coordinate real-time cardiac care for a concierge patient. That direct access can make a meaningful difference during urgent situations.

No. Dr. Insel operates as a fully independent private practice. He is not affiliated with any larger hospital or delivery system. That independence allows him to order tests and refer patients to specialists based solely on what each individual patient needs.
