With increased consolidation of traditional medical practices and declining reimbursement rates, many physicians are turning to alternative models like concierge medicine to preserve their independence. Concierge medicine allows physicians to offer personalized, high-quality care to patients in exchange for a membership fee. This model is governed by private service agreements that outline the relationship between the patient and healthcare provider, detailing the services provided, terms of access, and financial obligations. Unlike traditional practices, concierge medicine operates with a smaller patient panel, fewer insurance constraints, and a focus on improved patient access.
