TejoMed is a membership-based family medicine clinic that pairs each member with a dedicated doctor who maintains a deliberately small patient panel, enabling longer appointments, direct access, and proactive, relationship-driven care. The model combines in-person and virtual visits with a 24/7 urgent line, comprehensive annual check-ups, and a unified health record platform that integrates labs, wearables, and history. Members pay a yearly fee for this ongoing relationship, while insurance is used for labs, tests, and specialist referrals billed separately.

Problem
Traditional family medicine often assigns patients to doctors with thousands of patients, resulting in rushed 10-15 minute appointments, long waits for sick visits, and a reactive approach focused on treating symptoms rather than preventing illness. This volume-based model leaves patients feeling like a number, with little continuity of care or personal attention from a physician who truly knows their history.
Solution
TejoMed provides a membership-based family medicine clinic where each doctor cares for a deliberately limited number of patients—a few hundred rather than thousands—ensuring unhurried appointments, same or next-business-day sick visits, and direct phone and email access to your care team. The model includes a 24/7 urgent line, a comprehensive 60-90 minute annual check-up, and TejoMed Compass, a secure portal that consolidates records, wearables, and results in one place for your doctor to review. Care is delivered through in-clinic visits at the Lisbon location and virtual appointments, with a proactive focus on prevention and longevity, supported by a dedicated nurse and a team that knows your history. The membership fee covers the relationship and time that insurance typically doesn't pay for, while labs, imaging, and specialist referrals are billed separately and often reimbursed by insurance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individuals and families in Lisbon who value a long-term relationship with one dedicated doctor, prioritize preventive care, and are willing to pay a membership fee for enhanced access and attention beyond what traditional insurance covers.
