Accepting New Patients,
65 and Older!
How is MezaCare different from other Primary Care practices? Our practice is a concierge medicine practice focusing primarily on Seniors. First and foremost, MezaCare accepts Medicare, all Medicare Advantage Plans, and all other insurances. We are
accepting new patients in our brand-new clinic located in the Riverstone area of Coeur d Alene.
Traditionally Dr. Meza and the team have provided quality medical care to the patients and residents living in Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Facilities and associated Independent Living Facilities. The team continues to provide medical care and serves all of the Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Facilities and Retirement Centers throughout the region. Nothing is changing with this practice and MezaCare continues to accept new patients at these locations on a daily basis.
Now the MezaCare team has opened a concierge primary care clinic to provide independent seniors with quality and timely primary care as well. If you need to see a doctor, you no longer have to wait months for an appointment to see a primary care physician, or in desperation make a trip to Urgent Care or the ER for non-emergency care. And, best of all, you won’t be rushed in and rushed out.

The concierge fee is $175 per month. This monthly fee enables the MezaCare team to provide care when you need it and allows for extended visits. During these extended visits your provider will focus on your chronic care issues and also focus on preventative care. He or she will answer all of the questions you have about current healthcare trends and will have the time to work with you to achieve your optimal health and maintain your independence. In addition to spending much needed time with you as a patient, the MezaCare team will provide the extended care services mentioned below.

Reasons you might need a new primary care provider
• You are new to the area of Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls. • Your primary care provider has retired. • Your primary care provider is no longer accepting Medicare or limiting the number of Medicare patients they are able to care for.
Providers limit the number of Medicare patients they are able to care for because of a number of factors, like lower reimbursement rates and increased regulations. It is a very well-known fact that Medicare allowable rates for patients visits are significantly less than what other insurance companies allow. Because of the lower payments, this decreased access makes it difficult for seniors to find timely access to care in a primary care setting.
Why MezaCare?
MezaCare came about from Dr. Meza’s passion for serving geriatric and rehabilitative patients and residents of our community. Dr. Meza employs and incredible care team of many providers; Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants and ten Certified Medical Assistants all of whom have patient records readily at hand and are able to provide high-quality and continuous coverage.
Continuity of Care; What If I Need Inpatient or Skilled Services?
• Should you go to the emergency room, our team is on call to provide assistance to the emergency room physician for a safe discharge plan and early follow-up. • Should you be admitted to a hospital, our team will track your progress and will see you upon discharge from the hospital in a timely fashion. • Should you have to be admitted to a skilled nursing facility or assisted living for rehabilitative care, our team will provide care directly to you at the facility with the goal of getting you better, stronger, faster and home as soon as possible.
Should an independent resident choose to seek rehabilitative or long term care at an Assisted Living Facility or a Skilled Nursing Care Facility, MezaCare will continue to care for you and shares your goals to achieve better health so you can return home as soon as possible. Our dedicated MezaCare team coordinates your care with your specialty providers, local hospitals and diagnostic centers. When appropriate, the team can arrange for mobile radiology, social worker visits, laboratory and blood draw services, dental care, podiatry, and other services. This type of going above and beyond care is called “Concierge Medicine.”
