Doctor shortage worsens

[KeaauRich]

Hilo’s Aloha Nui Family Practice (Dr. Stefan Harmeling) recently announced that as of January 1, 2018 they will no longer participate in any insurance plans, and will only have a client phase of 400 patients, all of whom will pay a membership fee of $250/month (discounted for children, seniors and couples). This fee covers office services only, so patients will still have to pay for medical insurance to cover all other expenses.
