Cost · Charlotte, NC
What concierge medicine costs in Charlotte.
Most concierge practices will not tell you how the money works. Here is mine: one published fee to begin, testing billed by the laboratory at its own price, with no markup from me, and no markup on anything I order.
The short answer
Two numbers, never one: the fee, and the testing, billed separately with no markup.
How the fee works
Precision Health Assessment·$500 one time, where accepted patients begin
The Assessment stands on its own, and there is no obligation to continue.
Ongoing care
The Precision Partnership: from $3,000 per year, or $275 a month. Paid annually, or month to month, cancel anytime.
Testing and other third-party services billed separately by those organizations, with no markup from me.
Nothing is charged to apply. Accepted patients begin with the Precision Health Assessment, $500 one time. It stands on its own, and ongoing care is decided separately afterward. What ongoing care covers is published in full: direct phone and text access answered personally, appropriate follow-up between reviews, and quarterly substantive reviews at your home across the Charlotte metro or on video. If you already have a primary care physician, you keep them; my work is the longevity medicine alongside. I keep this practice small so I can keep the highest level of service for my patients.
The testing is billed separately by the laboratory at its own price, with no markup from me. Medications and imaging are billed the same way, by the pharmacy or imaging center. I make $0 markup on any of it, which means the only thing you are ever paying me for is the thinking.
You keep your insurance. This is not insurance and it does not replace it. It replaces the fifteen-minute visit and the three-day portal reply.
Line by line
Where every dollar goes.
| What you pay | Marked up? | |
|---|---|---|
| The Precision Partnership | from $3,000 per year, or $275 a month. | The fee is for my time and your access, and it is the whole business model. What it includes is published in full on the care page. |
| The Precision Health Assessment | One thorough visit, flat | One thorough visit, and the plan is yours to keep. |
| Blood panels and specialty testing | The laboratory's own price, no markup | No. $0 markup. |
| Medications | The pharmacy's own price | No. $0 markup. |
| Supplements | At the supplier's price | No. $0 markup. |
| Quarterly reviews, at home across the Charlotte metro or on video | Included in ongoing care | No visit fee, no copay, no fixed visit count. |
| The testing, on a package | Once a year, or quarterly | No. Billed by the laboratory at its own price, and always quoted as about because that price varies. |
| Imaging, when your risk warrants it | The imaging center's own price, referred out | No. And no bundled whole-body scan you may not need. |
Labs and medications billed separately with no markup is a different thing from included, and the distinction is worth being precise about: those organizations bill at their own price, and I add nothing to it.
The testing
What the panels actually cost.
Testing is billed by the laboratory at its own price, with no markup from me. I order what is likely to change a decision rather than working from a standing menu, so the number depends on the case and is always quoted as about before anything is ordered.
Reading your data is what ongoing care is. Testing is individualized rather than packaged: I order what can meaningfully change a decision, with targeted rechecks as your biology warrants, all with no markup from me. You will not receive a bill you did not agree to in advance.
Comparing fairly
Three questions to ask any concierge practice
Concierge fees in the Charlotte market vary widely and most are quoted only after a consultation, so a straight price comparison is hard to do honestly. What you can compare is structure. Three questions get you most of the way.
Is there an initiation fee on top of the annual fee? Many programs carry one, and it does not always appear in the number you are first quoted.
Will my visits still be billed to insurance? In most concierge programs the answer is yes, which means the membership fee is in addition to your premium, your deductible, and your copays rather than instead of them.
Does the practice make money on what it orders? Labs, supplements, imaging, IVs. Ask directly. The answer tells you whether a recommendation is a clinical judgment or a revenue line.
My answers, in order: no, no, and no. If another practice in Charlotte answers the same way and is a better fit for you, take it. Those are the right questions either way.
