NextMD Exclusive Market Report: The State of Concierge Medicine and Direct Primary Care: Q2 2026

NextMD Exclusive Market Report: The State of Concierge Medicine and Direct Primary Care: Q2 2026


NextMD lists over 6,000 concierge and direct primary care (DPC) practices in the United States, staffed by 8,500 Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) physicians. This report ranks where those practices are, what they charge, and where their doctors trained.

All figures come from NextMD directory data as of June 2026. In this report, "concierge medicine" refers to all physician-led membership care, both concierge and DPC. Fees are monthly; where a practice charges an annual retainer, it is converted to a monthly figure. City and state fee figures are the median across practices that publish a price.

Market Size and Growth

The published market-size estimates disagree. Grand View Research values the US concierge market at $7.35 billion in 2024, reaching $13.23 billion by 2030 at a 10.33% annual growth rate.[1] Precedence Research puts 2024 closer to $6.14 billion.[2] DPC estimates range from about $1 billion to over $70 billion depending on the definition.[3]

The most reliable growth figure counts practices, not dollars. A Health Affairs study found the number of concierge and DPC practice sites grew more than 80% between 2018 and 2023, and corporate-owned sites grew more than fivefold.[4]

Pricing and Practice Models

Concierge is 58% of practices, DPC is 30%, and hybrid, specialty, and performance models make up the rest.

Among concierge practices that publish a fee, 94% charge under $5,000 a year, 5% charge $5,000 to $12,000, and 1% charge $12,000 or more. DPC practices are more likely to publish a price than concierge practices, 72% against 47%. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) reports DPC fees of $50 to $100 a month, and Hint Health puts the median individual membership near $80.[5] For a full breakdown, see the concierge vs DPC comparison.

Private Equity and the MDVIP Sale

Private equity is buying concierge practices. Eighty percent of listed practices are solo, and 73.5% belong to no national network, which makes the market a target for roll-ups. In September 2025, Revelstoke Capital Partners, with about $5.5 billion under management, bought Griffin Concierge Medical as the tenth platform investment of its third fund.[6]

MDVIP is the largest concierge network, with more than 1,400 physicians and 430,000 members, and accounts for 23% of the practices NextMD lists.[7] Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Charlesbank Capital Partners have owned it since 2021.[8] Both firms are in the back half of a typical five-to-seven-year hold, and a sale is widely expected in 2026 or 2027, though none has been announced. NextMD tracks the full ownership map in its guide to private equity in concierge medicine.

Why Doctors Are Converting

Doctors move to concierge and DPC for autonomy. AAFP data shows DPC family physicians report 94% satisfaction, against 57% outside the private medicine model, and 12% burnout, against 46%.[5] The share of AAFP family physicians running a DPC practice tripled from 3% in 2022 to 9% in 2023.[5] Their average income, $288,779 in 2024, is about the family-physician average.[5] The directory bench is experienced: among physicians who list a residency year, the median has 26 years in practice.

Company Moves in the Past Year

  • Forward raised over $400 million and built AI kiosks called CarePods, then shut down on November 13, 2024, closing every location.[9]

  • Amazon paid $3.9 billion for One Medical in 2023, then closed One Medical corporate offices and cut several hundred jobs in 2024.[10]

  • Premise Health and Crossover Health merged in March 2026 into a company with nearly 900 worksite clinics across 47 states.[11]

  • Sollis Health, a membership concierge urgent and emergency care provider, raised a $33 million Series B led by Foresite Capital in December 2024 and reports more than 17,000 members.[12][13]

  • Networks: SignatureMD runs more than 200 affiliated physicians under Blue Sea Capital,[17] and PartnerMD has operated its Mid-Atlantic offices under the Markel Group since 2011.[18]
