Victors Care is a model of practicing medicine in which consumers pay an annual membership fee in exchange for enhanced access and time with their primary care physician. The primary care physician in this type of practice does not bill insurance for services rendered; however, the patient still carries insurance for medical care outside the scope of primary care. Victors Care physicians will limit the number of patients they accept to 20 percent of the number accepted in a traditional primary care practice, to make it possible to devote more time and attention to each patient.

Victors Care is open to any adult interested in this model of care. You do not need to have any affiliation with the University of Michigan to become a patient.

Your health is your most valuable asset; a membership in Victors Care is an investment in that asset. As a Victors Care member, you will benefit from enhanced access and a customized health program rooted in a close relationship with your Victors Care physician.

Victors Care makes sense for individuals, families and executive teams who are busy with life, work and travel. This model also benefits those looking for easy, barrier-free access to a personal physician with whom they can build a relationship. Victors Care offers advantages to people with medically complex conditions as well as those who are healthy and active.
