Same Quality. Lower Price.

Concierge medicine exists because the standard healthcare system fails on access, time, and attention. Care& solves the same problems. You get a dedicated provider who knows you, appointments that aren't rushed, and modern technology that keeps you connected to your health.

The difference? We don't charge $10,000 a year for it. Our NP-led model delivers the personalized care concierge patients expect, without the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Concierge practices are typically led by MDs who charge premium annual fees. Care& is led by Nurse Practitioners who independently diagnose, prescribe, order labs and imaging, and refer to specialists — at a fraction of the cost. For day-to-day family practice needs, the clinical outcomes are equivalent.
For family practice, yes. You get a dedicated provider, long appointments, virtual access, and on-site lab. The main difference is that concierge practices sometimes include services like executive health assessments or direct specialist connections that go beyond day-to-day family practice.
For family practice needs, yes. NPs independently diagnose, prescribe (including most controlled substances), order labs and imaging, and refer to specialists. There are some limited contexts where an NP would coordinate with or refer to a physician, but for the vast majority of what people see a family doctor for, the care is equivalent.
Yes. Our Executive Medicine plan includes comprehensive annual health assessments with advanced screening. Visit our Executive Medicine page for details.
Concierge doctors typically limit their practice to 200-400 patients and charge $3,000-15,000+ per year to cover overhead. Our NP-led model keeps panels small, appointments long, and uses a modern platform that cuts admin time for providers. That savings gets passed to you.
Yes. We can coordinate the transfer of your medical records. Many members switch to Care& when they realize they're getting similar quality of care at a much lower cost.
