Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group Executive Wellness
Expert Care Through Executive Wellness
For most executives, the 40-hour work week is but a fond memory. It is not uncommon for an executive to spend 60, 70 or even 80 hours in the office every week, leaving little time for a full medical examination. A traditional physical exam can be time very consuming and in many cases, it can take weeks to get an appointment for a routine physical exam. Additionally, obtaining and understanding all the test results can be challenging and overwhelming.
Our Lady of the Lake Physician Group has responded to this predicament by developing a suite of executive wellness programs to meet any need.

Do I need insurance Accordion Item
Insurance is not required for membership in the Platinum Membership. However, an insurance plan is highly recommended to take care of any expenses incurred outside of the membership benefits. Many members opt to increase their deductible amount, thus lowering their monthly premiums – the savings is used to offset the cost of the Platinum membership fee. -

No co-pays are required. -
Will my insurance reimburse my annual fee?
Insurance will not reimburse your annual fee. -
What if I need to go to the Emergency Room?
If you have an emergency, please proceed to the Our Lady of the Lake Emergency Room and try to give us a call before your arrival so we can notify the ER doctor in charge before you arrive. This will help expedite the triage process upon your arrival. If you are unsure whether your situation requires a trip to the ER, please call us so we can help you make the decision. -
What if I am admitted to the hospital?
If you require hospitalization, you will be admitted by a Board Certified hospital medicine physician. He/she will manage your care during your entire hospital stay and will be in direct and constant communication with your Platinum physician about your care. Additionally, your Platinum physician will make every effort to visit you while you are in the hospital to check on your status and keep you updated on your condition. -
Tell me about after-hours care and the physician’s 24/7 availability.
We are available to you 24/7 – period. All you have to do is call our number, and we will assist you with any medical issue you may have. There are many different options available to you if face-to-face medical care is necessary and we will help determine which is best for you. -
Can I still see my gynecologist?
While gynecological services are available as a part of your Platinum benefits (routine breast exam, Pap smear, mammogram) we certainly do not wish to interrupt your relationship with your GYN doctor. But for women who would like to have everything done at once, we can provide those services. -
What about lab, X-ray and specialists’ fees and hospitalizations?
Routine lab and X-rays performed within our office are done at no additional charge. Any “non-routine” testing can be billed to your insurance. Specialist fees and hospitalization costs are the member’s financial responsibility and can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. -

How long will I have to wait if I come in for a visit?
There will be minimal, if any, waiting once you arrive at the clinic for a scheduled appointment. -
What about the cost of prescription medicines?
Payment for prescription medicines is the member’s responsibility. -
Can I receive text messages from my doctor? What about e-visits on my computer?

What if I need to be seen by a specialist urgently and I cannot get a timely appointment?
As a member of the Platinum Membership, you will be given priority status for urgent referrals to specialty care. We will get you seen by a specialist on the same day or the next business day. -
How difficult is it to get an appointment? Do you provide same or next-day visits with the doctor?
For routine medical issues, we can see you the same day, or if it is late in the day, we can see you the next business day. Executive physicals will be scheduled based on availability, but we will try to be flexible with your schedule. -
What happens if I move out of the area after I enroll?
You can continue to use your membership benefits for as long as you wish, even if you live outside of our immediate area. -
