People use the phrases concierge medicine and medical concierge interchangeably. They shouldn't. One is a retainer relationship with a primary-care doctor. The other is an independent navigator — an advocate whose only job is to find you the right care, wherever in the world it lives.
If you've ever paid an annual fee for same-day GP visits, that's concierge medicine. If you're facing a difficult diagnosis and want someone to vet the world's specialists on your behalf, that's a medical concierge.
