Concierge Practice Startup Services — What We Handle

Below is a comprehensive overview of the concierge practice startup services we provide. From strategic planning and business formation to operations, staffing, and launch support, this list reflects the hands-on guidance and practical resources designed to help physicians build a successful concierge practice from the ground up.

Business Formation & Financial Setup

Set it up correctly from day one.

We guide the entire business and financial foundation of your concierge practice so you start cleanly, compliantly, and with clarity.

  • Entity formation and ownership structure guidance
  • Assistance with EIN, NPI, DEA, CAQH, and related registrations
  • Business bank account setup guidance
  • Startup financing and line-of-credit preparation support
  • Startup budget planning and expense forecasting
  • Concierge membership pricing and fee strategy

What this avoids:

  • Costly restructuring later
  • Delays due to missing registrations
  • Mixing personal and business finances
  • Underpricing or mispricing memberships
  • Early cash-flow surprises

Transition

  • With structure in place, we proactively address risk—so protection keeps pace with how you actually practice.

Concierge Practice Planning & Advisory

Everything starts with clarity.

We provide hands-on strategic guidance throughout your concierge startup, acting as your planning partner from initial concept through launch.

  • Customized concierge startup plan tailored to your specialty, market, and goals
  • One-on-one video strategy sessions with experienced concierge advisors
  • Ongoing advisory access throughout the startup phase
  • Step-by-step roadmap with timelines, milestones, and dependencies
  • Guidance for both brand-new launches and insurance-to-concierge transitions

What this avoids:

  • Doing things in the wrong order
  • Relying on generic advice that doesn’t fit concierge medicine
  • Making irreversible decisions too early
  • Delays caused by uncertainty or stalled execution

Transition

  • Once the plan is clear, the next step is building the practice on a solid legal and financial foundation.

Risk & Insurance Planning

Coverage that matches concierge care.

We help identify, manage, and insure against risk appropriately for concierge and cash-pay practices.

  • Concierge-specific malpractice insurance guidance
  • Risk assessment aligned with concierge access and care models
  • Ongoing advisory guidance as the practice is built and launched
  • Coordination with trusted insurance brokers and vendors
  • Compliance documentation guidance tied to coverage

What this avoids:

  • Coverage gaps discovered after launch
  • Misalignment between patient promises and insurer expectations
  • Documentation practices that increase exposure
  • Last-minute insurance changes that delay opening

Transition

  • Once structure and protection are in place, it’s time to make the practice tangible—without locking in unnecessary overhead.

Office Planning & Lease Advisory

Choose the right space, at the right stage.

We help you choose an office strategy that fits concierge care, patient experience, and financial reality.

  • Office type, size, and layout guidance
  • Full-time vs part-time vs co-working/medical suite advisory
  • Location selection guidance based on patient demographics and access
  • Assistance identifying and working with experienced real estate agents

  • Missing lease terms that limit flexibility or exit options

Transition

We help select, coordinate, and launch the vendors that support daily concierge operations.

  • Concierge-experienced vendor recommendations

  • Staffing strategy and workforce planning
  • Concierge-focused role definition

  • Payroll and HR issues that create downstream problems

Transition

  • With people and systems aligned, we formalize everything into clear documentation.

Templates & Documentation

Professional, concierge-specific guardrails.

We provide ready-to-use templates so nothing is created from scratch.

  • Concierge patient agreement templates
  • Membership and financial policy templates
  • Intake, consent, and HIPAA documentation

  • Legal and operational confusion

Transition

  • With the practice internally aligned, we turn outward—starting with patient communication.

Patient Communication & Retention

Protect trust during change.

We help you communicate your concierge model clearly, ethically, and confidently.

  • Transition planning for existing practices
  • Messaging guidance explaining concierge benefits
  • Patient-facing FAQs and communication frameworks
  • Support managing patients who opt not to transition
  • Ethical offboarding and continuity-of-care guidance

What this avoids:

  • Website design and launch
  • Google Business Profile setup and optimization
  • Social media presence setup

  • Growing faster than systems can support

Transition

  • Throughout every phase, you’re supported by a team that stays with you.

Operations Support & Dedicated Practice Manager

You’re not doing this alone.

We provide hands-on operational support through a dedicated practice manager.

  • Dedicated practice manager as a single point of contact
  • Day-to-day operational coordination
  • Execution support—not just advice
  • Ongoing guidance through launch and stabilization
