Concierge house call medicine is the answer.  Concierge house call practices like Schuylkill Medical Associates are few and far between but are changing the way health care is provided to the aging population.  SMA is physician owned and operated and you will always be seen by Dr. Pluta.  SMA prioritizes personalized and responsive health care for seniors and home bound in the comfort of the home.  Dr. Pluta and Shannon will answer your calls and emails directly; they are not outsourced to another party.  Their goal is to deliver outstanding health care to all of their patients.

Breaking Insurance Barriers

Medicare and other insurance companies do not pay for the type of work that Schuylkill Medical Associates does. Properly caring for seniors and the home bound requires developing a close relationship with their caregivers, specialists, social workers, nurses, therapists, etc. It requires communication with ER physicians and hospital physicians in the event of a hospitalization.  It requires communication with all who are part of your health care team.  The time, attention, and follow up that Dr. Pluta gives to each patient is beyond what you would find in an office practice. With the concierge model, you will have a physician who is your advocate, who has your needs and priorities at the forefront, and who willingly communicates with you and your family or caregiver. Dr. Pluta will help you and your loved ones understand your treatment options, and will customize a plan that fits your unique situation.  She is available 24/7 for all of her patients.
