If you are on Medicare
With 19.6% of the city aged 65 or older [3], Medicare rules matter here. Medicare does not cover membership fees [6]. A doctor who accepts assignment cannot use the fee to charge extra for Medicare-covered services, and must give an Advance Beneficiary Notice listing any noncovered items in the fee [6]. Doctors who do not accept assignment can charge up to 15% above the Medicare-approved amount [6]. Details in concierge medicine and Medicare.
Is it worth the money?
A $4,000 membership equals about 4.8% of Fort Lauderdale's $83,130 median household income [3], before insurance premiums. Concierge medicine still usually requires insurance for hospital and specialist care. A Health Affairs study counted 3,036 concierge and DPC practices in 2023, up 83% since 2018, with corporate-affiliated practices growing fastest [7]. Weigh the access you would gain against what your current doctor offers; see is concierge medicine worth it.
