Flexible Fee Model
Dr. Reber believes in a fee structure based on the principal of Unity, and taking care of one another. The predominant fee-for-service model takes the sacred out of the encounter between the patient and the healthcare practitioner. The encounter, therefore, becomes a commodity, something we buy. Dr. Reber believes this distracts from the healing power of the therapeutic encounter.
Realistically, we cannot buy a therapeutic encounter, which is ideally offered as a gift. At the same time, there are material needs that make the encounter possible; the physician has life needs that must be met to be able to offer such a gift, a healing space must be created and maintained, and technical systems must be kept working in order to support the encounter. These material needs do not preclude that the encounter is in essence a therapeutic gift, it is a sacred exchange.
As you make your contribution for your therapeutic visit, please keep in mind that your contribution does not go towards your own visit. The material needs for your visit was met by the contributions of those patients who came before you, their gift to you. Likewise, your contribution helps to meet the needs for future patients’ visits, your gift to them.
An ideal amount is suggested below, which covers the material needs of the encounter. If you can pay the full amount or more - great. If you can only contribute less, that is just as fine - not everyone has the same financial means. The important thing is that there is an exchange a sacred exchange. With this model we support each other in our healthcare needs. Dr. Reber will periodically review how this unfolds and hopes to continue this model into the future.
