The Way Concierge Medicine

The Way offers tiered annual memberships starting at $3,000 per year for the Standard plan. Higher tiers add benefits like unlimited specialist e-consultations, house calls, and quarterly wellness sessions. Seasonal residents can join through the Snowbird Package at $2,500 for six months. À la carte services are also available, including a Discovery Visit at $400, a Second Opinion at $800, a Preoperative Evaluation at $1,000, and an Executive Physical at $1,500.

The Standard plan includes same-day or next-day visits, 24/7 direct access to Dr. Melo, and a comprehensive annual physical with in-clinic diagnostics. Those diagnostics include EKG, spirometry, InBody scan, point-of-care labs, and unlimited point-of-care ultrasound. Members also receive telehealth visits as part of their membership.

The Way operates outside the traditional insurance billing model. The practice does not bill insurance for membership fees. Members need to maintain their own health insurance for hospitalizations, specialist visits, and other needs outside the practice's scope. Many members find that the membership fee offsets costs they would otherwise spend on copays and specialist visits.

Yes. All membership tiers include 24/7 direct access to Dr. Melo by phone or text. This means members can contact him directly for urgent questions, prescription needs, or guidance on whether a concern requires an in-person visit.

Prospective members can book a Q&A call or a virtual Meet and Greet with Dr. Melo through the practice website. This conversation lets you ask questions, understand the membership tiers, and decide which plan fits your needs. Membership sign-up runs through the Hint Health platform.

Yes. The practice specifically serves executives, high-performance professionals, and frequent travelers. Dr. Melo offers executive physical packages and performance optimization as part of his clinical focus, including metabolic health assessment, cardiovascular precision screening, and wearable data review.

The Way provides in-office EKG, spirometry, InBody body composition scanning, point-of-care labs, and unlimited point-of-care ultrasound. These tools allow Dr. Melo to gather clinical data during your visit without sending you to an outside facility for routine diagnostics.
