Most people asking about concierge medicine in Boca Raton are asking the wrong question first. They want to know the number. What they really want to know is whether the number makes sense for what they get.
Annual membership at most concierge practices in South Florida runs between $2,500 and $7,500 per adult, with a smaller tier of high-touch practices priced above that. The range is wide because the models are different. Some practices carry panels of 600 patients. Some carry 300. A few carry under 200. The math of what a physician can actually deliver tracks directly to panel size, and the price reflects it.
Membership covers access, time, and continuity. It does not replace insurance. Members keep their existing health coverage for hospitalizations, imaging, specialist care, and prescriptions. What membership buys is the primary care relationship itself. Extended physicals. Direct phone and text access to the physician. Same-day or next-day appointments. Coordinated referrals. Continuity over years rather than minutes.
The question worth asking is what a conventional fifteen-minute appointment actually costs. Not in dollars. In missed findings, delayed diagnosis, medication errors that come from fragmented records, and the accumulated clinical drift that happens when nobody has time to hold your whole picture. For adults over 45, for patients managing chronic conditions, and for executives whose schedules make conventional access impractical, that hidden cost is real.
A useful way to evaluate the fee is to look at it against what you already spend on health without calling it healthcare. Gym memberships. Supplements. Wellness apps. Functional testing ordered direct-to-consumer. Most adults pursuing serious health goals are already spending several thousand dollars a year in that category, fragmented across services with no clinical oversight. A concierge relationship consolidates that spend into one physician who knows you, orders the right tests, interprets the results, and holds the longitudinal record.
There are also patients for whom concierge medicine is not the right fit, and it is worth being direct about that. If your primary need is episodic acute care and you are generally well, a traditional practice may serve you adequately. If you are looking for cosmetic services or a wellness clinic model, that is a different product. Concierge medicine is internal medicine delivered with the time and access the specialty was originally meant to include.
One point worth clarifying for patients new to the model. Membership covers the primary care relationship itself, which includes extended annual physicals, in-office visits throughout the year, advanced diagnostic interpretation, care coordination, and direct physician access. It does not cover imaging, specialist consultations, hospital admissions, prescription medications, or laboratory fees billed by outside facilities. Those costs continue to be handled through your existing insurance. The membership fee funds the physician’s time and availability, which is the component insurance has never reimbursed adequately and the component that determines whether your primary care relationship is actually functioning.
Pricing at Boca Raton Concierge Medicine reflects a deliberately limited panel and a practice model built around Dr. Stein personally managing each relationship. Members can request current membership details directly through the practice. The fee structure is straightforward. No hidden billing. No surprise line items. One annual membership that covers the primary care relationship, with insurance handling everything downstream.
For patients weighing the decision, the most useful reference point comes from the American Academy of Private Physicians and peer-reviewed analysis of concierge outcomes, including published research on hospitalization rates and preventive care adherence in concierge practices. The data consistently shows reduced emergency utilization and improved preventive care compliance in populations with this level of access.
A final consideration for Boca Raton residents specifically. The cost of concierge membership often looks different when placed next to the total annual spend on fragmented wellness services common in this market. Executive physicals at national programs, functional medicine consultations, independent lab testing, hormone clinics, peptide providers, and supplement subscriptions routinely add up to more than concierge membership and deliver a fraction of the continuity. Consolidating those efforts into a single physician relationship is often a net cost reduction, not an expense.
The cost of concierge medicine is not the headline figure. It is the total value of the care delivered, measured over years, against what conventional access produces for the same patient. Most people who make the move do not return. That outcome is worth looking at before the fee is.
Talk to the practice directly before making the decision. A conversation with Dr. Stein will answer questions a website cannot, including whether this model is the right clinical fit for where you are. Schedule through the contact page or call (561) 483-5500.
