Care
Geriatric care planning
Care planning for older adults and the families coordinating it, with a physician who is reachable directly.
Geriatric care planning covers the practical coordination that families usually end up managing alone: specialists, medications, caregivers and what happens next. Dr. Sisodia is reachable directly, which matters most in exactly the moments it is hardest to reach a practice.

The mechanism
Why the practice size matters here.
Most of the load in caring for an older parent is administrative, and it falls on the family: chasing a specialist, reconciling what four prescribers have written, working out who to call when something changes at six in the evening. The practice takes that coordination on, and the cap is what makes the physician reachable directly at the moment it is hardest to reach a practice at all.
Cost
What membership covers, and what it does not.
Yes, you still need insurance. We do not participate in any insurance networks, including HMOs, Tricare Prime, or Medicaid. Your membership covers your care with Dr. Sisodia, and it does not pay for care delivered anywhere else. You will need insurance for emergency care, routine bloodwork and laboratory tests, imaging, hospital stays, surgery, and specialist visits and procedures.
Insurance and Medicare do not cover the membership fee. The fee is paid directly to My Choice Primary Care and is not billed to insurance, and Dr. Sisodia has formally opted out of Medicare.
Billed separately and not part of membership: medications, laboratory testing performed by outside laboratories, imaging, specialist care, hospital care, vaccines, and other services provided by outside facilities or clinicians.
The membership fee itself is not a published figure. Membership fees are set by a consistent formula that considers age, the complexity of care, and whether you join as an individual, a couple or a family. Pricing is discussed during the consultation, with monthly or annual payment options available. How membership is priced.
Before you ask
Questions about this kind of care.
- Do you offer care for teens or older adults?
- Yes. We care for individuals age 16 and older, whether you are a teen, young adult, parent, or senior.
- Are visits in person or virtual?
- Both. Most visits take place in person at our Clearwater office, but secure telehealth is always available when it is more convenient or clinically appropriate.
- Can family members and caregivers be involved?
- Yes, when appropriate and with the patient's permission. Dr. Sisodia coordinates care with family members and caregivers when the patient authorizes it.
- Is this a geriatric specialty practice?
- No. My Choice Primary Care does not represent itself as a geriatric specialty practice. Complex neurocognitive disease, advanced behavioral symptoms and other specialty-level geriatric issues may require referral or collaborative care.
- Does Dr. Sisodia have hospital admitting privileges?
- No. Dr. Sisodia does not hold admitting privileges at any hospital, so if you are admitted, the hospital's physicians direct your care there. She may make a courtesy hospital visit when feasible, but she does not serve as the admitting or attending physician.
