Concierge vs direct primary care

Two membership models in Nashville

Membership medicine in Nashville comes in two forms. Concierge practices charge a higher annual retainer and usually keep billing insurance. Direct primary care charges a lower monthly fee and generally stays out of insurance [6]. Tennessee passed a direct primary care law in 2016 (HB 2323), codified at Tenn. Code Ann. 63-1-501 to 63-1-504 [4]. DPC Frontier counts Tennessee among the states whose law places DPC outside insurance regulation [7].

Paying with an HSA or through Medicare

Starting January 1, 2026, people with an HSA-eligible health plan can enroll in a direct primary care arrangement and still contribute to their HSA, and can pay the fee from the HSA, if it costs no more than $150 a month for one person or $300 for a family [10] [11]. Concierge practices that bill insurance on top of the retainer do not qualify [11]. Medicare does not pay concierge membership fees [12]. Read concierge medicine and Medicare.

Questions for any Nashville practice

  • How many patients does each doctor carry, and is that in the contract?
  • Which labs, screenings and visits are inside the fee, and which are billed to insurance?
  • How do refunds work if you cancel mid-year? PartnerMD, for example, requires 30 days' notice and prorates refunds [3].
  • Is the physician licensed and in good standing? Check with the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners [13].
