About Concierge Medicine Today · Est. 2007
Build a practice you're proud to lead. Without guessing.
CMT is the independent publication and leadership platform for physicians exploring or running concierge and membership-based practices. Clear research. Practical tools. A room full of peers once a year.

The problem
You went into medicine for patients. The system keeps handing you a schedule.
Too much noise
Information about membership medicine is scattered across media reports, sales pitches, and opinions with an agenda attached.
Too much at stake
Changing your practice model touches your income, your patients, your team, and your family. Guessing is expensive.
It shouldn't be this hard
Physicians deserve honest, independent information before making one of the biggest decisions of their careers.
Why CMT
We've covered this model since before most physicians knew it existed.
In 2007, there was no independent trade publication for concierge and membership medicine. CMT became one. Nearly two decades later, we still cover every model, favor none, and keep editorial decisions separate from sponsorship.
CMT by the numbers
Nearly two decades of proof.
Audience figures as of November 3, 2026; see methodology. *From the CMT Patient Study (patient inquiries, 2013 to 2024; self-selected sample, not nationally representative). 74% cited relationship or trust as their top search reason (n=1,149); 52% n=1,993. Percentage rings are proportional; other rings are visual accents.

CMF 2027 →What's at stake
Two ways this can go.
Without clear information
- Decisions made on sales promises
- A model that doesn't fit you or your patients
- Burnout, just with a different payment structure
With clarity and peers
- A model chosen with eyes open
- Time to know your patients again
- A practice that serves your community and your family
"It is no longer about being the best doctor in the world, but about being the best doctor for the world, for patients, and for the local community."
A guiding principle of CMT's editorial mission
More than a publication
We don't just cover physicians. We're for them.
Behind every story is a doctor who took a real risk to practice medicine differently. Our job isn't just to report on that. It's to make sure they never have to figure it out alone.
The moments that matter most are rarely on the agenda. They show up unplanned, in a hallway hug or a shared laugh, when colleagues quietly become friends.

CMT Media Kit · Audience & methodology (2027)
You want to reach the physicians building membership medicine. They read CMT.
Membership medicine is a small, specialized audience that general healthcare media rarely reaches. CMT has covered it, and only it, since 2007.
The problem
Broad healthcare channels spread your budget across readers who will never run a membership practice.
The frustration
It's hard to know whether a single concierge or DPC physician saw your message.
What's right
Physicians deserve useful information, clearly labeled, not pitches dressed up as news.

Who reads CMT
Audience types reflect CMT's editorial focus and Forum registrations. CMT does not verify the profession of every subscriber or visitor.
How CMT compares
Larger national outlets reach more readers. CMT reaches a narrower audience: people working in, or moving toward, membership medicine.
| CMT | Other physician and practice publications | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience focus | Concierge, DPC and membership medicine only | Broad specialty, state or practice-management audiences |
| Sponsored content price | From $395 | Published rates of about $1,125 to $3,000+ per sponsored item1 |
| Total reach | 40,261 subscribers; 136,000+ pageviews in 2026 | Often larger. National outlets reach far more readers |
| Rates | Published on our Advertise page | Often by request only |
| Methodology | Published, with sources and limits | Varies; some are independently audited2 |
| Ownership | Independent since 2007 | Often association-, publisher- or system-owned |
1 Publicly posted media kits: Florida Medical Association (2022), sponsored content ad $1,125 to $4,125; MGMA (2025), sponsored content post $2,850 member price; Springer Publishing, sponsored blog post $3,000. Rates may have changed, and audiences and deliverables differ. 2 CMT is not independently audited by BPA or AAM.
Methodology: how we count, and what we don't claim
| Metric | Definition and source |
|---|---|
| Active subscribers | Contacts eligible to receive email in Flodesk, excluding unsubscribes and hard bounces. Includes subscribers who have not opened recently. |
| Actively engaged | Flodesk's "Healthy" segment, based on recent opens and clicks. A platform classification, not a CMT survey. |
| Delivery, unsubscribe rates | Lifetime averages reported by Flodesk across all sends on the current platform. |
| Open rates | Reported on request, by segment. Apple Mail Privacy Protection and similar features can register opens that didn't occur, so opens are treated as directional. |
| Pageviews | Page loads reported by Squarespace Analytics (.net) and Jetpack Stats (.org), combined and rounded down. Each tool filters known bots differently, so totals may include some non-human traffic. |
| Unique visitors | Reported per site and never added together, since one reader may visit both sites. |
| Section pageviews | Squarespace Analytics, January 1 to November 3, 2026. |
| Growth figures | Same-period comparisons from the source tool. October includes Forum-related traffic. |
| Podcast downloads | Reported by CMT's podcast host under IAB Podcast Measurement Guidelines. |
| Forum figures | CMT registration records across all Forums since 2017. |
What these figures are not. CMT's audience is not independently audited by BPA or AAM. Figures describe reach, not verified professions. Figures are updated quarterly and corrected openly if an error is found. Questions: editor@conciergemedicinetoday.org.
