This assumes you rely on traditional insurance for primary care.

Membership Pricing

 

What “First 50” Means

 

The first 50 patients to join Andover Internal Medicine at each age category (Adults 18–64, Adults 65+, Adolescents, Couples, Families) receive the “First 50” price — and that reduced price is locked in for two full years.

 

What “51–100” Means

 

Patients who join as numbers 51 through 100 in each category receive the “51–100” rate — and that price is also locked in for two full years.

 

These are your Inaugural Member Rates, honoring my earliest supporters with long-term price protection. These inaugural rates will default to the Comprehensive level of care. There is no founding discount for Executive Gold and is priced separately as listed. After the first 100 patients in each category, inaugural pricing ends and new members enroll at the Standard and Comprehensive rates listed.

  • Patients with frequent lab work

  • Anyone frustrated with long waits, surprise bills, or unclear pricing

Important — This Is NOT Health Insurance

  • Does not cover hospitalizations or ER visits

  • Does not cover outside specialists or surgery

  • Does not cover imaging (although discounted prices are arranged)

  • Should be paired with a high-deductible (Bronze or Silver Tier) or catastrophic plan (or Medicare)

  • Provides all services performed inside the practice according to your membership tier

  • Eliminates co-pays, facility fees, surprise bills, and insurance interference

 

This model provides predictable, transparent pricing and advanced care delivered directly by Barry E. Brenner MD PhD.

 


Telemedicine & Virtual Care

 

Many medical concerns can be evaluated and treated without an in-office visit. Every membership at Andover Internal Medicine includes secure telemedicine access when appropriate.

 

Available to all members:

  • Video or phone visits for many urgent and chronic issues

  • Same-day or next-day virtual availability

  • Medication adjustments and follow-ups

  • Review of laboratory and diagnostic results

  • Management of ongoing conditions

 

Where Telemedicine Applies:

You may receive telemedicine care whenever you are physically located in:

  • Kansas

  • Missouri

  • Ohio

  • Michigan

  • Louisiana

 

If you are temporarily outside these states, licensing laws limit full telemedicine visits. Guidance can still be provided until you return to a licensed state.

 

Telemedicine provides convenient, prompt access to your physician without leaving home.

 Telemedicine for Members

Telemedicine visits are included in all Andover Internal Medicine memberships, when clinically appropriate. This includes video or phone visits for many acute concerns, chronic disease follow-up, medication adjustments, and review of test results.

Telemedicine is used thoughtfully- an not a replacement for hands-on-care, but as a way to provide timely access, continuity, and convenience when an in-office visit is not necessary.

Telemedicine for Non-members

Telemedicine visits are available to non-members for a flat fee of $40 per visit (up to 20 minutes).

Visits include evaluation, guidance, and documentation. If additional care, testing, or in-person evaluation is required, options will be discussed transparently.

Licensure and Location

Telemedicine services are provided in accordance with state licensing laws. Patients must be physically located in a state where Dr. Brenner is licensed at the time of the visit, including Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan and Louisiana.

Medical Services

Pediatric Care

My clinical scope of practice is emergency medicine and internal medicine where I have been board certified for over three decades. I provide full medical care for adults and adolescents 12 and older, and I evaluate acute problems in children 4 and older (sore throats, fevers, rash, suturing, infections, minor injuries). Of course, anyone sick, I will do my best to treat them and transfer promptly to an emergency room.

I do not provide routine well-childcare, childhood immunizations, developmental screening, or school physicals. For children (ages 4-11 yr) I evaluate acute medical problems only. I do not serve as their primary care provider.

Comprehensive same-day care, diagnostics, advanced in office testing, and pharmacy are provided.
