- A Patient’s Honest Take on Why Your Practice Gets Called “Elitist”
- GLP-1 telehealth spends $200 to get a patient. Here's what that buys them -- GLP-1 telehealth brands spend $150 to $250 to acquire a paying patient and it works because they built a system, not a campaign. We broke down the full funnel, the pricing, and the exact playbook, then compared it to what concierge medicine members and DPC patients actually pay. If your marketing is still based on hope for the referral, one social media post a week and a "mid" or "meh" (as the kids say) website, this is the marketing knowledge gap you need to close.

The $3,000 question your patients are already answering
|
They're not confused about whether to invest in their health. They're deciding who deserves the dollars.
Every patient walking into your office has already been sold something this year, a subscription, an app, a quick fix. What most of them haven't been offered is a physician who has time to ask more than five questions. Our new research brief lays out exactly what patients are paying elsewhere, and what that says about the case you're not making yet.

Inside the “Adaptive Primary Care” framework and the thinking behind it. (Podcast)
|
Dr. Charles “Trey” Williams didn’t set out to disrupt pediatrics. He set out to be the kind of doctor his own kids deserved. After a decade in corporate, insurance-driven practice and a stint inside a health-tech startup, Williams reached the same conclusion many physicians on this podcast have reached: the system was built for throughput, not relationships, and pediatrics runs on relationships.

The Future of Membership-Based Healthcare — CMT Research Brief

"Everyone assumes concierge medicine is exploding. It's not. It's under 2%. 8,000 to 12,000 practices out of 1.1 million doctors. That's the truth. Here's the other truth: a quarter of those practices are now specialists, cardiology, endo, OB-GYN, even oncology. Small numbers. Massive signal. That's how you know a model is becoming the standard, not the size of it, the direction of it."

2026 State of Concierge & Membership Medicine:
Market Size, Physician Workforce, and Practice Economics
|
"Stop measuring concierge medicine by market share. Wrong metric. Measure it by who's borrowing from it. Specialists are building subscription models off it. Hospital systems are launching premium-access programs modeled on it. Even inside Direct Primary Care, physicians are reaching for the same core idea: a direct relationship with the patient, no insurance company in between. Fewer than 2% of U.S. physicians practice concierge medicine today. And the rest of healthcare is quietly getting graded against a model that small. That's not a niche. That's a reference point."

“Concierge medicine may be small in size, but it’s big on purpose. While industry sources note year after year that fewer than 2% of all licensed U.S. doctors practice in some version of subscription-based healthcare delivery model—(that’s about 8,000 to 12,000 practices in the U.S.— at least a quarter of those are now specialists. We’ve also observed incremental growth in adoption and entry into these models and it’s been steady at what we hear is about 4–7% a year — some would say higher but we like to stay realistic, not evangelistic. So while concierge medicine is still a small percentage of the 1.1 million U.S. physicians, it’s quickly becoming the new reference point—the model others are measured against.”
