- Abstract
The article focuses on the need of insuring the uninsured patients. By offering uninsured patients a set of services in exchange for an affordable monthly fee, authors' practice has reduced no-shows and improved its patients' health. Physicians realized that patients' inability to pay for services is sometimes the reason they don't show up for appointments. The physicians offered uninsured patients a set of services in exchange for an affordable monthly fee. The Servium plan thus formulated encourages patients to get the care they need and allows for better monitoring of patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes.
