Concierge Medicine Costs: What You’ll Pay and What to Expect

How much does concierge medicine cost?

That’s one of the first questions people ask when exploring whether this model of care is right for them.

Why do some practices charge $3,000 while others cost $10,000 or more?

And what exactly are you paying for in that annual fee — is it just convenience, or does it include real added medical value?

At PartnerMD, we’ve helped thousands of patients navigate the move to concierge medicine since 2003.

Over the past two decades, we've walked side-by-side with people exploring their options, breaking down what matters most when evaluating price, value, and long-term care.

In this article, we’ll break down the actual costs of concierge medicine, what factors affect pricing, and how to evaluate whether a membership is worth it for you or your family.

You’ll learn how to spot what’s included, what may cost extra, and how to manage the investment more effectively.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of concierge medicine pricing, plus tools to make an informed decision based on your health goals, location, and lifestyle.

How Much Does Concierge Medicine Cost?

Let’s answer the most common question: how much will this cost?

The average cost of concierge medicine is usually between $2,000-$5,000 per year. There are some practices that will charge $10,000 or more — which we could call VIP or Luxury Medicine — but you can find plenty of great practices in this lower range. 

That said, prices can vary based on market, services, and provider. Here’s a look at real-world pricing examples:

• MD² (Nationwide): $24,000/year
• Sollis Health (New York, LA, SF, South Florida): $4,000–$12,500/year
• Wood Healthcare (Charlotte, NC): $4,800/year
• PartnerMD (GA, MD, SC, VA): $2,500-$3,000/year
• Inova VIP 360° (Northern Virginia): $2,400/year
• MDVIP (Nationwide): Generally starts around $2,200/year but depends on the practice

🔍 Important Note: Most concierge practices do still bill your insurance for clinical services like labs, imaging, and referrals. The membership fee covers access, time, and added services — not traditional medical billing.

5 Factors That Influence the Cost of Concierge Medicine

Your concierge medicine membership cost is based on several factors. Here are five. 

1. Access to Care

Concierge physicians maintain smaller patient panels (400–600 people) compared to the 2,000+ seen in traditional primary care.

This gives you longer appointments, same-day or next-day visits, and more personalized attention. You're also often guaranteed 24/7 access to care — though not every practice provides access to your specific doctor after-hours.

2. Advanced Physicals

A hallmark of concierge medicine is the customized, comprehensive physical — far beyond the standard annual checkup.

These physicals often include personalized diagnostics, long-term planning, and extended time for Q&A. Some practices offer tiered physicals, so ask whether customization is included or costs extra.

3. Services and Perks

Some practices bundle additional services into the membership:

• Health coaching & wellness programs

• Coordination of specialist care

• Unlimited visits

• Nutrition and fitness support

• Access to seminars, events, and digital platforms

Others offer these benefits à la carte, so always ask what's included and what comes with an added fee.

4. Office Location

Leases, staff salaries, and demand impact pricing. A concierge doctor in Los Angeles or Manhattan will likely charge more than one in Richmond or Greenville — often for the same level of care.

5. Model of Care

Not all membership-based models are created equal. Some practices operate as:

• Pure concierge (your doctor only sees members)

• Hybrid (your doctor sees both members and traditional patients)

• Direct pay primary care (doesn’t accept insurance at all)

Make sure you understand which model you're signing up for, especially if insurance compatibility matters to you.

How to Manage the Cost of Concierge Medicine

Whatever your membership rate ends up being, there are several ways to manage the membership cost. These include:

• HSA/FSA options: Health savings accounts (HSA) and flexible spending accounts (FSA) might cooperate with concierge care. Check with your plan provider, but medical services generally apply the same way that a copay or prescription at a traditional practice would. 

• Employer benefits: Your company might be willing to cover or offset membership and physical costs. There’s a rise in workplaces offering more services, like executive physicals and executive memberships, to all employees for a low fee or none at all.
  

What Else Should You Consider Beyond Cost?

Beyond the cost, there are a few more things to consider as you find the right care for your health goals. Do your research now so you can find the right fit for your care.

📝 Contracts

Understand the terms of membership before you sign. Some practices allow for month-to-month flexibility, while others lock you in for a year or charge cancellation fees.

🏥 Insurance Coverage

Most concierge practices accept traditional insurance, including Medicare and commercial plans, but double-check:

• Which insurers they work with

• Whether they bill in-network

• If they accept government insurance (like Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE)

🔄 Model Clarity

Ask if the doctor you’ll be seeing is fully dedicated to concierge patients. Some practices split time between members and non-members, which may limit your access.
