Here’s a breakdown of where the costs go:
1. Physician Time and Availability
Concierge doctors often limit their patient load to 100–600 people (compared to 2,000+ in traditional practices). This allows for longer appointments, 24/7 access, and direct communication—but also requires higher fees to compensate for the reduced volume.
2. Exclusive Facilities and Services
Luxury clinics may offer:
• Private exam rooms or suites
• On-site diagnostics and labs
• Spa-like environments with wellness amenities
• In-home visits or travel coordination
These features significantly raise operational costs.
3. Advanced Preventive Care
High-end services often include cutting-edge screenings, full-body scans, genetic testing, and custom wellness plans—technologies not typically covered by insurance.
4. Membership and Retainer Fees
Most luxury medical providers charge annual fees ranging from $1,500 to over $25,000, depending on location, physician, and included services.
While expensive, luxury care is about time, convenience, and peace of mind—offering a very different experience from mainstream care.
