Patients paying retainer fees of $2,000–$25,000 annually expect same-day/next-day access and 24/7 availability as core membership benefits.

The number of clinicians in concierge and DPC practices grew 78.4% from 2018 to 2023, but clinical autonomy remains compromised when doctors handle logistics instead of patient care.
