Concierge medicine is a relationship between a patient and a physician in which the patient pays an annual fee or retainer. In exchange for the retainer, the physician provides superior health care to a limited group of members. It’s as close as you can get to having a private physician.
Due to the chaotic nature of the health care industry as a whole, concierge medicine continues to grow as patients become more educated about their health care options and desire for quality physician care. In fact, statistics prove, those who join concierge medicine are generally healthier and have shorter hospital stays.
