Why is Sound Family Health a Complete Membership Practice? 

We founded Sound Family Health in April of 2009. Our goal, and the goal of our dedicated staff of support professionals, was to provide the best quality care, and put the needs of our patients first. These commitments have continued to guide our practices and our policies. Frequently, this has meant taking that extra step, often behind the scenes, to smooth out our patient's journey through the rest of the health care system. 

As time has gone on, America's health care system has undergone some significant changes. Independent primary care providers have experienced ongoing decrease in reimbursements. At the same time, there has been an increase in the costs of unfunded service mandates and reporting. Unfortunately, these trends are driving independent primary care providers like us out of business. 

Many independent physicians have chosen to become employees or contractors in large hospital-based organizations. Unfortunately, these physicians are no longer independent. The economic and corporate management interest of the large organizations often come into conflict with what the individual physician may believe to be in the best interests of the patient. As physicians, we did not want to be in this position. Because of this, we searched for an economically sustainable solution that would allow us to remain independent. 

Do I have to join Sound Family Health’s Complete Membership if I want to be a patient? 

Yes. Upon establishing care as a new patient, we will collect your annual membership fee. From that point forward, you will then have an annual “renewal month” in which you will receive a bill for the upcoming year. Your membership fee is always due by the last day of your renewal month. 

How much does the membership cost? 

Annual membership for patients ages 0-25 is $25 per year. 

Annual membership for patients ages 26+ is $180 per year.  

How do I cancel my membership? 

If you are not satisfied for any reason with the services provided by Sound Family Health, you may at any time withdraw your membership in our practice. SFH Complete Membership fees will be refunded if termination is within 90 days of enrollment/renewal at a prorated amount. 

Can the Practice cancel my membership? 

Yes. The Practice can terminate your status as a member by providing 30 days prior written notice if: 

• You fail to pay the membership fee by the last day of your renewal month 

• You fail to abide by the terms and conditions of your insurance coverage, if any; 

• You fail to abide by the policies of Sound Family Health (i.e., inappropriate behavior, multiple no showed appointments) 

If the practice terminates your membership for any of these above reasons, your membership fee will not be refunded.  

Will SFH still bill my insurance? 

Yes. Sound Family Health will continue to bill your insurance company, and you are still responsible for the copays and deductibles. The membership model is separate from your current medical insurance; it is a yearly membership fee, which allows us to provide services to our patients beyond what medical insurance covers.  

Do I need health insurance if I’m joining the membership? 

You can establish with SFH whether you have insurance or are self-pay. Sound Family Health does not offer health insurance. The membership does not replace your health insurance. The membership will allow us to provide services beyond what medical insurance covers. 

Will my insurance pay for membership? 

No. We are unable to bill your health insurance for the membership fee. 

Should I join if I’m healthy? 

Yes. Sound Family Health will continue to provide preventative services, including exams, labs, and other screenings to keep you healthy and focus on preventing health problems from occurring.
