Concierge medicine is not only beneficial for patients but also for providers. Owing to this, many physicians are switching to this practice. As per Concierge Medicine Today, LLC, there are around 10,000 to 25,000 physicians or subscription-based programs across the U.S. A large number of female doctors are switching to concierge practice. Female doctors are more burned out and stressed. Physician burnout is the prime reason for the increase in the adoption of concierge medicine.
Hybrid concierge model successfully addresses the issues of primary care physician shortages. In hybrid model, the primary care doctor provides an option to patients to choose between subscription-based care or receiving care in the traditional way under insurance. Owing to shortage of physicians in the near future, access to healthcare will become difficult resulting in many patients moving to concierge physicians for convenient care. The subscription-based model will ensure easy access to care even if there is a physician shortage. This is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
