Most physicians land here for one of these reasons:
You're exhausted by the current model but not sure if this is the answer or just an escape.
You've read about it but can't find an honest, vendor-neutral take on whether it fits your situation.
You're worried about the transition — financially, relationally, professionally.
You want someone to tell you clearly: yes, or no for now, but not forever, or no, it’s just not for you.
Early Access Notification | October 2026 | CMT’s Model Clarity Calculator
You're Guessing at Your Retainer Price. Stop.
Concierge retainers span $2,000 to $45,000 for the same core service. Most physicians price by instinct or by copying a colleague. That gap is either lost revenue or lost patients, and most doctors don't know which one they're risking.

In late October, you'll receive an email with early access to our new Model Clarity Calculator, just look for it in your inbox around October 15th. Once you arrive at the tool, enter your role, panel size, and market. The calculator shows what your specific model would actually produce: panel size, retainer range, overhead, and recurring revenue.
You'll also receive CMT's weekly eJournal, free of course. Unsubscribe anytime. See our Terms & Privacy.
This tool is educational and illustrative only. It does not constitute financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice.
CMT has covered this field independently since 2007. We've talked to thousands of physicians who've made this decision — in both directions.
“This assessment was built from nearly two decades of physician interviews, national conference conversations, and independent research. It doesn't tell you what to do. It gives you the framework to decide for yourself — clearly, honestly, without a vendor agenda.”
— Michael Tetreault, Editor-in-Chief · Concierge Medicine Today · Est. 2007 · Independent since day one
