This New, One-Of-A-Kind Health Membership Gives Parents Access to 24/7 Pediatric Care

Child healthcare emergencies don’t exactly schedule themselves during your pediatrician’s opening hours. Whether it’s a fever that wakes them up at midnight or a twisted ankle during Sunday’s soccer game, your kids need medical attention when they need it, and it doesn’t always fall in the Monday-Friday, nine-to-five schedule. (If only!)

Sollis Health wants to address that need. The concierge medicine provider just launched a new Family Membership plan designed to support families with kids under 18, offering access to Sollis’ ER-boarded physicians as well as allergen testing, a complimentary house call, and concierge pediatrics in some locations. The new plan, which Sollis says is the first of its kind, also comes with unlimited appointments 24/7, 365 days a year, and “expedited access” to Sollis’ network of doctors and specialists.

Sollis Health isn’t available everywhere, but for some families, the convenient service may be just what the doctor ordered. Keep reading for more info on Sollis and the new Family Membership, costs, and locations.

What is Sollis Health?

Sollis Health is a concierge healthcare provider, meaning that you pay a flat fee for access to its services. A huge benefit is that you don’t need to go through your insurance to do it — you deal directly with your doctor’s office with no surprise fee. While concierge providers like Sollis may be more expensive than going through your insurance to find providers, there are a lot of perks. For example, you can get in to see a doctor much quicker because doctors see fewer patients than in a traditional office; according to Sollis, their same-day appointment waiting time is just 3.5 minutes or less, versus 3.5 hours in a traditional ER.

Sollis offers a wide range of services, from everyday and urgent care to ER-level emergency care. For the new Family Membership, benefits include the same 24/7-365 unlimited appointments, along with a complimentary house call, a consultation for each family member, and a complimentary allergy panel. For members in Los Angeles, a Family+ membership includes access to concierge pediatrics.

According to a press release shared with SheKnows, such services have been in demand. Nearly 60 percent of current Sollis members have asked for expanded pediatric or preventative care, and over half of existing members currently have children. “For years, we’ve heard from our parent members that they want to come to Sollis for any issue, emergency or common,” Brad Olson, CEO of Sollis Health, said in the press release. By combining the company’s concierge approach to emergency and urgent care with everyday family care, “we’re setting a new standard for how healthcare should be delivered,” Olson added.

How much does Sollis Health Cost?

A standard membership at Sollis Health is $290 per month, while a Select Membership (which includes unlimited X-rays, EKGs, and mobile ultrasounds, as well as three house calls per member and other benefits) is $830. The Family Membership plan starts at $10,000 a year for a family of four and covers unlimited visits for both emergency and everyday care. Before you balk at the price, know that a traditional ER visit can set you back $5,000 out of pocket with insurance — and $20,000 or more without.
