What a month actually buys
- Four to six patients a day, not thirty
- That is the whole arithmetic. A capped panel means the diary is not full of people who booked three weeks ago, which is why there is room for the person who woke up unwell today.
- You get the mobile number
- Not an answering service and not a portal. Most questions are answered by text in an hour and never become an appointment at all.
- Insurance is still worth having
- For the hospital, the specialist, and the surgery — everything on the not-covered list. Membership here is not health insurance and does not replace it.
- You can leave any month
- Thirty days' notice, no exit fee, and no lock-in. If you rejoin later you go on the waiting list like everybody else.
