The Concierge Longevity Model

Longevity-focused practices like Peter Attia’s Early Warning Labs charge $100,000+ annually. These practices serve fewer patients at higher margins, focusing on comprehensive healthspan optimization rather than sick care.

The model inverts traditional medicine economics. Instead of seeing 30 patients daily for brief visits, longevity physicians see 4-8 patients for extended consultations. Revenue per patient increases 50-100x while patient outcomes improve dramatically.

Typical Pricing Structure

• Initial Assessment: $5,000-25,000 (comprehensive testing)
• Annual Membership: $15,000-100,000+ (ongoing care)
• Advanced Testing: Additional fees for imaging, genetics
• Patient Load: 50-200 patients per physician

What Patients Receive

Premium longevity memberships include services impossible in insurance-based medicine. Full-body MRI screening catches cancers years before symptoms appear. Advanced cardiovascular imaging identifies atherosclerosis decades before heart attacks. Comprehensive metabolic panels with 100+ biomarkers track optimization progress.

Beyond testing, members receive unlimited physician access, personalized protocols, and care coordination. When issues arise, the physician personally manages referrals and follows up. This white-glove service justifies premium pricing for executives whose time has enormous opportunity cost.

Revenue Math

A physician with 100 patients at $50,000 annually generates $5M in revenue. Even with staff, testing costs, and overhead, margins exceed 40%. This explains how physician-entrepreneurs build significant wealth while maintaining small practices.

Gabrielle Lyon’s Strong Medical and Mark Hyman’s UltraWellness Center demonstrate different scaling approaches. Lyon maintains a boutique practice while building media reach. Hyman trains other physicians who practice his methodology, creating leverage without sacrificing quality.

Market Dynamics

Demand for longevity medicine exceeds supply. Waiting lists at top practices stretch months. This scarcity supports premium pricing and allows physicians to select patients aligned with their practice philosophy. The wealthy are willing to pay almost any price for additional healthy years.
