When you first hear about concierge medicine, one of the most natural questions is: “What exactly am I paying for?” Unlike traditional healthcare where costs can feel mysterious and unpredictable, concierge medicine operates on a transparent membership model.
At Tampa Bay Concierge Doctor, we believe in complete transparency about our pricing structure. This guide breaks down exactly what your membership fee covers, what it doesn’t, and why maintaining traditional health insurance alongside your concierge membership creates the ideal healthcare safety net.
Understanding the Concierge Medicine Payment Structure
Concierge medicine operates on a dual-payment model that combines membership fees with traditional insurance coverage. The U.S. concierge medicine market is expanding from $6.14 billion in 2024 to a projected $11.97 billion by 2034.
The Two-Part Payment System
- Monthly Membership Fee (Out-of-Pocket) Your membership fee is paid directly to your concierge physician. This fee is not covered by health insurance and represents your investment in enhanced access, personalized attention, and preventive care services.
- Medical Service Billing (Insurance Coverage) Traditional medical services such as lab tests, imaging, prescription medications, and specialist referrals are billed to your health insurance just as they would be in a conventional practice.
What Your Membership Fee Covers
Your membership fee at Tampa Bay Concierge Doctor provides comprehensive services that transform your healthcare experience:
Unlimited Office Visits
No more rationing appointments or postponing care due to cost concerns. Your membership includes unlimited in-office consultations throughout the year.
Comprehensive Annual Physical
Your membership includes an extensive annual wellness examination that goes far beyond the standard 15-minute check-up, evaluating your current health status and identifying potential risk factors.
24/7 Direct Physician Access
Perhaps the most transformative benefit is round-the-clock access to your personal physician. Whether it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or 7 PM on a holiday, you have direct communication with Dr. Khalid Saeed when health concerns arise.
Telemedicine Consultations
Access to secure video-based medical appointments, allowing you to receive professional medical guidance from home, your office, or while traveling.
Extended Appointment Times
Unlike traditional practices where physicians manage 2,000+ patients with rushed 15-minute appointments, concierge doctors typically serve 400-500 patients. Your appointments are never hurried.
Same-Day or Next-Day Appointments
Forget waiting 27 to 70 days for physician appointments, the current average in major U.S. cities. Your membership ensures priority scheduling with immediate availability.
House Call Services
Tampa Bay Concierge Doctor brings healthcare to you. Whether you’re at home, in a hotel, or at your office, Dr. Saeed provides convenient medical care in your preferred location.
Preventive Care Focus
Your membership emphasizes proactive health management with health coaching, wellness planning, and early detection strategies.
What Your Membership Fee Does NOT Cover
These services remain your financial responsibility, though most are typically covered by traditional health insurance:
Laboratory Tests and Diagnostic Imaging
While your physician orders necessary lab work and imaging studies (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds), these services are billed separately either to your health insurance or as out-of-pocket expenses.
Prescription Medications
Medications prescribed by your concierge physician are not included in your membership fee but are typically covered by your prescription drug plan.
Specialist Referrals
When you require specialized medical care, those consultations and treatments are billed separately. Your concierge physician coordinates referrals and ensures seamless communication, but specialist fees aren’t included.
Hospital Services
Emergency room visits, inpatient hospital stays, surgical procedures, and other hospital-based services are billed to your health insurance according to your policy’s coverage terms.
Advanced Procedures
Specialized procedures beyond routine primary care are typically billed separately to insurance or paid out-of-pocket depending on your coverage.
Why You Should Maintain Health Insurance
Concierge medicine does not replace health insurance. Rather, they work together to provide comprehensive healthcare coverage.
The Financial Safety Net
Health insurance protects you from catastrophic medical expenses:
- Major Illnesses: Cancer treatment, heart surgery, or organ transplants can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
- Emergency Care: Severe accidents requiring emergency intervention and hospitalization
- Specialty Care: Complex medical conditions requiring ongoing specialist treatment
- Diagnostic Procedures: Advanced imaging and testing costing thousands per procedure
The Hybrid Model Makes Financial Sense
For Routine Care:
- Unlimited primary care visits covered by membership
- No co-payments for office consultations
- 24/7 physician access
- Comprehensive preventive services
For Major Medical Needs:
- Insurance covers hospital admissions
- Specialty care is financially protected
- Prescription drug benefits remain active
- Catastrophic coverage protects your financial security

Is Concierge Medicine Right for Your Budget?
Consider Concierge Medicine If You:
- Value Time and Accessibility – Waiting weeks for appointments frustrates you, and immediate access justifies the investment
- Manage Chronic Conditions – Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease benefit from coordinated, proactive care
- Travel Frequently – 24/7 physician access ensures medical support regardless of location
- Prioritize Preventive Health – You view healthcare as an investment in long-term wellness
Concierge Medicine May Not Fit If:
- Budget Constraints Are Primary – The monthly membership fee represents a significant financial burden
- You Rarely Need Medical Care – Healthy individuals who visit doctors only occasionally may not maximize the value
The Bottom Line: Transparency Creates Trust
At Tampa Bay Concierge Doctor, your membership fee is a straightforward investment in unlimited access to Dr. Khalid Saeed’s 30+ years of medical expertise, 24/7 physician availability, same-day scheduling, extended consultation times, comprehensive annual exams, house call services, telemedicine, coordinated care management, and preventive health focus.
What you still need is traditional health insurance to cover laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging, prescription medications, specialist consultations, hospital services, and catastrophic health events.
This hybrid model combines the best of both worlds: personalized, accessible primary care through your concierge membership and financial protection through traditional insurance.
