Concierge Medicine Program

Unlimited. Proactive. Modern.
For a longer, healthier life.

Our concierge medicine program provides a comprehensive, continuous, and modern approach to health and vitality. Our tightly limited patient panel ensures you get the time and attention you need, with no barriers between you and your personal physician. This option is available only after completing a Longevity Health Assessment, since we cannot provide comprehensive, healthspan-oriented medical care without the information it provides.

FAQ

  • We do not take insurance payment of any kind. By keeping insurance out of our practice, we can provide you with the level of quality, attention, & time we think is best, perform the testing we think is important for you, and provide the treatments we think you need.

    When you go to a conventional clinic and use your insurance, your insurance company is the customer, not you, and they dictate the terms. It isn’t right, doesn’t lead to the best outcomes, and doesn’t promote true health.

  • Medicare patients pay an annual retainer fee for services not covered by Medicare, such as direct physician access. We are required by the government to bill Medicare for all services covered by Medicare. Please contact us to join our Medicare waitlist.

  • It meets the definition and exceeds it. Virtually all DPC practices are superior to insurance-driven practices because they cut out the insurance companies. We are different from most DPC and concierge practices in that we have integrated an advanced Medicine 3.0 model focused on longevity and health optimization, not just reactive disease management — although we do that, too.
