The concierge medicine market split wide open in 2026. On one end, Amazon-owned One Medical sells primary care subscriptions for $99/year. On the other, MD2 caps each doctor at 50 families and charges $24,000 annually. The companies in between fight for a middle ground that keeps shifting under their feet.

Forward Health, the tech-heavy primary care startup that raised $657M and reached unicorn status, shut down operations in November 2024. Crossover Health merged with Premise Health in March 2026. The list below reflects what's actually operating now — verified pricing, current ownership, and a single-line verdict for each.

Pricing varies by city and physician. The numbers below cite the most current public sources I could find as of May 2026. Always confirm with the practice.


1. MDVIP — National Concierge Network (Verdict: Best for travelers needing nationwide doctor access)

MDVIP runs the country's largest membership-based primary care network. The company reports over 1,400 affiliated physicians and 430,000+ members as of 2026, across 45 states plus DC.

Annual fee: Typically $1,800-$2,400, with some markets up to $4,500 (VIP Medical Doctors, 2026). Patient panel cap: Around 600 per physician — vs 2,000+ in traditional practice (MDVIP, 2026). What's included: The annual MDVIP Wellness Program covers advanced labs, biomarker screenings, fitness assessment, and a personalized care plan. Insurance still covers regular visits. Markets: 45 states + DC. The biggest geographic footprint in concierge. Ideal patient: Frequent travelers, retirees who split time between states, or anyone whose doctor recently converted to MDVIP and they don't want to switch.

The model is hybrid. Doctors still bill Medicare and commercial insurance for covered services. The membership fee pays for the extra stuff insurance won't reimburse — extended physicals, 24/7 access, same-day appointments.


2. SignatureMD — Insurance-Friendly Mid-Tier (Verdict: Best for keeping your current insurance)

SignatureMD partners with independent physicians who want to convert their practice to a concierge model without going fully cash-pay. The company handles the transition logistics and ongoing support.

Annual fee: $1,500-$2,000 (SignatureMD, 2026). Patient panel cap: Roughly 400-600 patients per doctor. What's included: Extended care access, comprehensive annual executive physical, wellness plan. Doctors still bill insurance for covered services. Markets: Nationwide presence in 35+ states, smaller footprint than MDVIP. Ideal patient: People who want concierge perks but don't want to leave their existing PPO or Medicare plan. The insurance-billing model keeps total costs lower.

SignatureMD's pitch is that you're not paying twice. Your insurance handles labs, imaging, and specialists. The membership covers what insurance never paid for anyway — your doctor's time and attention.


3. PartnerMD — Mid-Atlantic Executive Care (Verdict: Best for working professionals in VA/NC/MD)

PartnerMD operates roughly a dozen practices, concentrated in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Georgia. The company markets heavily to corporate executives and offers an employer program for senior leadership.

Annual fee: $2,300-$2,500 standard ($192-$208/month); executive tier runs $2,600-$3,600/year for adults 26+ (PartnerMD, 2026). Patient panel cap: Around 400-500 patients per physician. What's included: Annual executive physical (90-120 minutes), 24/7 physician cell access, same-day appointments, health coaching, basic in-office labs. Markets: VA, NC, MD, GA with growing footprint. Ideal patient: Mid-career professionals in the Mid-Atlantic who travel for work and need a doctor who picks up the phone at 9 PM.

PartnerMD's published pricing transparency is unusual in this category. Most concierge practices make you call to get a fee quote. PartnerMD lists rates by location on their site.


4. Castle Connolly Private Health Partners — Top Doctors Network (Verdict: Best for "Top Doctors" pedigree filter)

CCPHP partners with physicians who appear on the Castle Connolly Top Doctors list — a credential-vetted directory long used by patients researching specialists. The concierge arm extends that vetting model into primary care.

Annual fee: Varies by practice, not publicly listed. Typically $3,000-$5,000 based on patient-reported rates on Yelp and practice reviews. Patient panel cap: Average practice size is ~400 members per physician (CCPHP, 2026). What's included: Same- and next-day appointments, telehealth, the SENS Solution Wellness Program with unlimited health coaching from board-certified coaches, no wait times. Markets: Northeast corridor (NY, NJ, PA, CT, MA) with selective expansion. Ideal patient: Someone who specifically values the Top Doctors vetting process and wants a primary care doctor with strong specialist referral relationships.

CCPHP's edge isn't price. It's the curation. Every CCPHP physician has been independently peer-nominated and credentialed before joining the network.


5. Crossover Health (now Premise Health) — Employer-Sponsored Direct Primary Care (Verdict: Best if your employer offers it)

Crossover completed its merger with Premise Health in March 2026, creating a combined entity serving 400+ client organizations across 47 states. The model is employer-paid: companies cover the membership for employees as a benefit.

Annual fee: $0 to the employee — paid by the employer on a fixed-fee basis. Patient panel cap: Variable by site; team-based care model with multiple providers per member. What's included: Primary care, behavioral health, pharmacy, physical therapy, health coaching — all bundled. Many services have $0 copays for enrolled employees. Markets: 900 onsite and nearsite clinics in 47 states + Guam (post-merger). Ideal patient: You can't buy this. Either your employer offers it or they don't. Common at Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Comcast, and major self-insured employers.

This isn't concierge in the traditional sense. It's advanced primary care funded by the employer. But the experience — extended visits, integrated care team, no rushed 15-minute slots — mirrors what concierge patients pay $3,000+ for out of pocket.


6. One Medical (Amazon) — Hybrid Membership (Verdict: Best low-cost hybrid for Amazon Prime members)

Amazon bought One Medical in 2023. As of 2026, Prime members can add a One Medical membership for $99/year, or non-members pay $199/year (Amazon One Medical, 2026).

Annual fee: $99/year for Prime members ($8.25/month); $199 for non-Prime. Patient panel cap: High volume — this is not a low-panel concierge model. Doctors see many patients per day. What's included: 24/7 virtual care, same/next-day in-person appointments, on-demand messaging, easy prescription refills. Insurance still covers visits. Markets: 200+ clinics in 25+ US metros plus virtual nationwide. Ideal patient: Healthy adults in major cities who want app-based scheduling, telehealth, and quick urgent care without paying $3,000+/year.

One Medical is a hybrid — call it "concierge-lite." You won't get your doctor's personal cell. You will get a primary care experience that feels closer to a tech product than a traditional clinic. The 24/7 virtual care is genuinely useful for working parents.


7. MD2 — Ultra-Premium Small Panel (Verdict: Best ultra-premium small-panel concierge)

MD2 pioneered the ultra-premium concierge model in 1996. Each physician caps the panel at 50 families (MD2, 2026). This entry replaces Forward Health, which shut down in November 2024.

Annual fee: $24,000/year for the first family member; $12,000 for each additional family member. Patient panel cap: 50 families per physician. Strictly enforced. What's included: Multi-hour annual evaluations, the doctor's personal cell phone, 24/7 availability anywhere (home, office, airport), house calls, full care coordination with specialists, travel medicine. Markets: Selective major metros — Seattle, San Francisco, Bellevue, Houston, Chicago. Ideal patient: High-net-worth individuals and executives who genuinely need their doctor reachable on a flight to Tokyo at 3 AM.

The 50-families-per-doctor cap is the whole product. Most concierge practices say "small panel" and mean 400-600. MD2 means 50. That math is the difference between a doctor answering your text in two minutes vs two hours.


8. PinnacleCare — Health Advisory + Advocacy (Verdict: Best for complex medical case advocacy)

PinnacleCare doesn't replace your doctor — it manages your healthcare across all of them. Sun Life acquired PinnacleCare in July 2021 and now operates it as a health advisory service.

Annual fee: $15,000-$55,000/year (PinnacleCare/MS Reserved, 2026). Patient panel cap: Advisory model — no traditional panel. What's included: Second-opinion coordination, top-specialist matching, medical records management, treatment plan review, family member health navigation, emergency travel support. Markets: Nationwide and international. Ideal patient: Someone navigating a complex diagnosis (cancer, rare disease, multi-condition), a family member managing care for elderly parents, or executives who want a medical advocate on retainer.

PinnacleCare's value is the rolodex. When you call them about a suspicious mammogram, they don't refer you to a random surgeon — they call the chief of breast surgery at MSK, get you in within 72 hours, and a nurse navigator manages the paperwork.


9. Sollis Health — 24/7 Concierge Urgent Care (Verdict: Best concierge ER alternative in major metros)

Sollis is a different animal. It's not primary care concierge — it's a medical membership that gets you into a Sollis location 24/7 for urgent care, advanced imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound on site), and IV hydration, without the ER wait or bill.

Annual fee: Standard tier starts at $4,000/year (Sollis Health, 2026). Platinum tier (house calls + advanced services) is higher. Patient panel cap: Membership-based, no strict per-physician cap. What's included: 24/7 access to Sollis clinics, on-site imaging and labs, IV therapy, telehealth, dedicated member services. Markets: NYC (multiple locations), LA, Hamptons, South Florida, Beverly Hills, San Francisco. Ideal patient: Urban families who've ever sat in an ER for 6 hours with a kid running a 103 fever. Parents call Sollis the "no-ER membership."

You still need a primary care doctor. Sollis pairs well with a traditional concierge or even regular insurance-based PCP. The membership is what you use at 11 PM on a Saturday when your kid spikes a fever or you twist an ankle.


10. Private Medical — Luxury Single-Family Practice (Verdict: Best ultra-luxury single-family concierge)

Private Medical is the top tier of the top tier. The Bay Area-based practice operates on a model similar to MD2 but with even more bespoke scope — some patients pay $40,000+/year for what's essentially a personal medical office.

Annual fee: $40,000+/year per family (NextMD, 2026); ultra-premium tier reportedly runs higher. Patient panel cap: Tiny — under 100 families per practice, with deeply personalized scope. What's included: Unlimited physician access, full annual diagnostic workup (advanced imaging, genomics, cardiac screening), specialist coordination, on-call medical concierge globally, in-home visits anywhere in the Bay Area. Markets: San Francisco Bay Area, NYC, LA. Ideal patient: Tech founders, partners at top firms, and ultra-high-net-worth families who treat their primary care relationship the way they treat their family office — small, dedicated, no expense spared.

At $40K+/year, this isn't a healthcare purchase. It's a lifestyle line item. The value, for those who buy it, is that their doctor knows them well enough to catch problems before symptoms appear. Most patients here see their physician 8-12 times a year.


How We Ranked

Our concierge-medicine rankings draw on three independent sources, never one alone:

  1. Verified clinical credentials: ABMS board certifications, state medical-license status, NPI registry, hospital affiliations, AAPP / MDVIP / SignatureMD network membership. Pulled from the relevant primary registry each time we update a profile.
  2. Patient-reported outcomes: Vitals, Healthgrades, and Google reviews from the past 24 months. We weight verified-visit reviews more than anonymous ones and flag any practice with a pattern of access complaints, billing surprises, or refusal-to-treat reports.
  3. First-hand intake testing: editorial calls to each practice asking the same five questions (annual retainer, what's included, how same-day visits actually work, telemedicine policy, what happens if I cancel). We document responses.

What we never accept: paid placement, sponsored "best of" slots, retainer-fee discounts in exchange for coverage. Disclosure: some practices listed have affiliate referral programs; we use those links only on the practice page, never as a ranking factor.

Update cadence: at minimum quarterly per niche; faster on any pricing change, network defection, or licensing issue. Last-updated date is at the top. To report an inaccuracy or claim a profile, email research@conciergemdfinder.com — corrections processed within 72 business hours.

FAQ

Q: What's the cheapest concierge medicine option in 2026? A: Amazon's One Medical at $99/year for Prime members ($199 for non-members) is the lowest-cost hybrid membership. It's not traditional concierge, but it covers same-day visits and 24/7 telehealth.

Q: Do I still need insurance if I join concierge medicine? A: Yes. Concierge fees cover access — appointments, doctor availability, extended physicals. Insurance still pays for labs, imaging, specialists, and hospital care. Going cash-only is risky for any major medical event.

Q: Which concierge company has the largest network? A: MDVIP, with 1,400+ affiliated physicians across 45 states plus DC. SignatureMD is the next largest, followed by PartnerMD regionally.

Q: What happened to Forward Health? A: Forward shut down in November 2024 after raising $657M. The company over-invested in AI "CarePods" and couldn't sustain unit economics. All 200 employees were laid off and patient access ended December 13, 2024.

Q: Is concierge medicine worth it for healthy adults? A: Depends on your time and access needs. If you're healthy and rarely see a doctor, the math is hard. If you value 24/7 access, extended physicals, and zero wait times — or your time is worth $200+/hour — the entry tier ($2,000-$4,000/year) often pays for itself in time saved.
