Concierge and longevity medicine in Santa Monica

A small, older, high-income city

Santa Monica had 90,082 residents in July 2025 ^[3]. Nearly one in five, 19.5%, is 65 or older, and the median household income is $114,885 ^[3]. That makes Medicare rules central for many buyers here, and it means the city's residents can draw on practices across Los Angeles County, not just inside city limits.

Medicare in a city where one in five is 65+

Medicare does not cover concierge membership fees ^[9]. A doctor who accepts assignment cannot use the fee to charge extra for covered services, and any noncovered items in the fee require an Advance Beneficiary Notice ^[9]. Doctors who do not accept assignment can charge up to 15% above the Medicare-approved amount ^[9]. Ask any practice to explain, in writing, how it bills Medicare.

California rules

California has no law directly addressing direct primary care, per DPC Frontier ^[4]. Federal HSA rules still apply: since January 1, 2026, DPC fees up to $150 a month for one person can come from an HSA, but not fees for practices that also bill insurance ^[10]. Check any physician with the Medical Board of California ^[11].

Longevity testing on the Westside

Prenuvo lists Los Angeles and Pasadena locations ^[12]; Whole Body scans cost $2,499 ^[13]. The radiologists' professional group, the ACR, says the evidence does not justify total-body screening for people without symptoms or risk factors ^[14]. Function Health listed its lab testing membership at $365 for the first year ^[15]. Galleri lists at $949 and is not FDA-cleared or approved ^[16].
