How does the health management program work?
Dr. Donch has implemented a health management program in her office which enables her to spend the time to focus on each individual patient’s care as a partner for all health and wellness needs. Patients who wish to continue care with Dr. Donch will purchase the active health management program. These services that are not covered by your current insurance. You will not have additional charges for any of the services Dr. Donch provides. You should still maintain insurance for hospital coverage in the event of an accident or major illness.
What is included in the program?
The program includes:
- An annual comprehensive health evaluation tailored to and focusing on your lifestyle, habits and personal strengths in order to identify your goals for personal health and optimal wellness.
- We will start with an individualized lifestyle analysis that identifies those areas in your day-to-day life where there are opportunities for changes that will positively impact your physical and mental health. We will then develop a health plan going forward for the year to help you achieve your personal health goals, strategizing on how you can accomplish those goals with a focus on lifestyle changes. During the year we will evaluate your progress and make adjustments to your plan as needed to help you reach your goals.
- Same day/next day appointments with minimal waiting.
- Extended face-to-face doctor interaction with us at your preferred times whenever possible.

Through these communication methods you will have access to care anywhere where computer access or telephone services are available. To the extent that we can assess your condition without a face-to-face visit without compromising your care we may do so should you prefer this.
- Access to a secure patient portal for lab results and communications.
- Access to a personalized weight loss program tailored for you.

What insurance do we accept?
Greenwood Village Family Medicine will continue to participate in most major insurance plans and in Medicare so that we may be your referring provider. Your membership is not a substitute for insurance. You will still need your insurance for things such as your labs, prescriptions, hospital care and any other medical providers you see.
Does the program fee work with my HSA/FSA? Is the program fee tax deductible?
Most patients are able to use their HSA accounts for the program fees. Check with your individual provider, benefits broker and accountant or tax advisor on this and on whether you may use your FSA funds for this. You are purchasing medical services that are not covered by your insurance plan. We will provide you with any necessary documentation to help you demonstrate this to your employer or provider.
