Healthcare for All Families

Meet your personal concierge doctor

Thomas S. Ziering, MD, is a compassionate family practitioner serving patients in Morristown, New Jersey. Having practiced traditional family medicine for more than 30 years, Dr. Ziering has an exceptional career and the unique privilege and perspective of treating ALL patients and families regardless of gender identity, sexual identity, or medical issue. Dr. Ziering was part of the initial clinical trials as a clinical researcher for HIV illness during the HIV crisis in 1992. He is now one of the only private practices to treat and teach PrEP, PEP, and HIV care, as well as hormone therapy for men, women, and trans patients.

Sharing his wealth of knowledge and dedicated to education, Dr. Ziering lectures nationally and statewide and has been integral in teaching physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical students, residents, physicians, and faculty at many of New Jersey’s various programs. Dr. Ziering was also the former Medical Director of LGBTQI Services for a private medical corporation from 2015-2017. Most recently he was a speaker at the New Jersey Academy of Family Medicine in the first lecture on LGBTQI Medicine for Physicians in Practice.

Dr. Ziering, whose patients endearingly refer to as Tom, has had the privilege of electives in England (Oncology), Miami, Florida (Dermatology), and Dallas, Texas (Cardiology). He has been honored with over 40 Top Physician Awards including “Top Doctors” and “Most Compassionate Physician” in New Jersey Monthly Magazine, Inside New Jersey Magazine, New York Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, US News and World Report, and most recently listed in “Top Physician in Women’s Health Care.” Seeing the lack of an Independent Family Practice Department at Morristown Medical Center, Dr. Ziering developed and established one in 1994 and chaired the department for six years.

Having been in Medical Education, Medical Administration, Concierge Medicine and Corporate Medicine, Dr. Ziering has found his passion as a healer to be most effective in Private Practice. By not limiting patient visits to 5-10 minutes, he has found the most comfortable and most involved method of practice with a half-hour to one-hour visit, depending on health issues. In this manner, multiple medical issues and mental health issues can be addressed often in one visit. Furthermore, the ‘exam rooms’ are set up more like small living rooms with home furnishings, aromatherapy, sound soothers and artwork conducive to a calm and relaxed discussion. Every aspect of the patient experience is important to Dr. Ziering, and he looks forward to helping improve the health outcomes of all those under his care and seeing them thrive.

Questions about Membership? Here’s some more information.

 
What is concierge medicine?

A concierge or Membership-based practice focuses on enhancing the physician-patient relationship. Members of the concierge program pay an affordable fee to take advantage of a wide array of guaranteed enhancements to facilitate a more unhurried, connected, and personalized approach to healthcare. Concierge physicians typically have smaller patient panels, which means they can spend more time seeing patients.

Who is Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP)?

Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP) works with exceptional physicians to create and support concierge (Membership-based) healthcare programs that enable the optimal practice environment and physician-patient relationship. Members (patients) pay an affordable fee to take advantage of a wide array of enhancements for a more convenient, comprehensive, collaborative and personalized approach to support health and wellbeing.

Membership & Billing

What’s included in my Membership?

Concierge medicine provides an enhanced healthcare experience, offering a variety of amenities that are not typically covered by medical plans. These unique amenities include:

• Same/next-day appointments

Do you accept insurance?

Many CCPHP-affiliated physicians accept insurance (please check with your physician’s office whether they accept insurance and your specific plan). If your concierge physician accepts your insurance, your insurance typically covers traditional healthcare services, but not the Membership Fee which covers the amenities and enhancements that you receive when you join, including enhanced connectivity to your physician, health coaching, and more. Amenities in the Membership are considered “non-covered” by most insurers and they do not provide reimbursement for the Fee.

Will my insurance, health plan, or FSA/HSA cover the Membership Fee?

The Membership Fees are not covered by your health insurance plan and are your individual responsibility. However, at your discretion, you can submit the Membership Fee to any flexible spending account, health reimbursement account, or medical savings account in which you participate, but the Membership Program makes no representation that any part of the Membership Fee will qualify to be reimbursed from any such account. It is the Member’s responsibility to receive approval from their benefits administrator as to the amount that may be reimbursable.

How do I pay for my Membership?

You may pay the Membership Fee in one annual payment, or two (semi-annual) payments, or quarterly, or monthly. Payments are to be made to the Company by automatic debit from your bank account or credit card. You will select your method and timing of payment. Certain processing fees may apply.

What happens when my doctor is on vacation?

A qualified physician will cover for your doctor when necessary, but he/ she will almost always be personally available by phone or the secure messaging platform (Spruce™), to respond to your medical concerns.

How do telemedicine visits work?

In order to provide better connectivity to your physician and the Membership Program, you will be provided with a secure digital and mobile media application, Spruce™. This HIPAA compliant platform can be used from your phone, other hand-held device, or computer to directly contact your physician, to attend Telehealth visits with your doctor for necessary and useful information.

What is Castle Connolly Top Doctor® Navigation?

CCPHP physicians have the ability to consult with and connect you to over 60,000 Castle Connolly Top Doctors® in the U.S. and internationally, as appropriate.
