Concierge medicine, also known as retainer medicine, is a healthcare model in which patients pay a membership fee or retainer to a primary care physician or practice for enhanced medical services. In this model, patients typically receive longer appointment times, 24/7 access to their physician, preventive care, and personalized attention. Physicians in concierge medicine practices often care for fewer patients, allowing for more individualized care and attention. This personalized approach often includes comprehensive wellness plans, coordination of specialist care, and even home visits.
