What does concierge medicine cost in Naples?

The headline number

Adult membership at Diamond Cove is $5,700 per year. Children are added at lower rates as part of a family membership — kids are not priced at the adult rate. Pricing for younger or healthier patients can sometimes be adjusted based on anticipated care needs. We don't publish detailed price tiers because the right fit depends on a real conversation, which is what the meet & greet is for.

What that membership covers

• All in-office primary care visits with Dr. Becker
• Long, unhurried appointments
• Same-day or next-day visits when medically appropriate and available
• Direct phone access during business hours, with calls returned the same day
• Comprehensive annual exam
• Coordination of outside care — specialists, imaging, hospital admissions, prescriptions
• Hospital advocacy and visits when patients are admitted (Dr. Becker holds privileges at all four major Naples campuses)
• Continuity with one physician, year over year

What it doesn't cover

The membership covers in-office primary care. Patients still need health insurance for everything else:

• Specialists (cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, etc.)
• Hospitalization
• Imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound)
• Lab work performed at outside labs
• Surgery
• Prescriptions filled at outside pharmacies
• Emergency room visits

Why is Diamond Cove more expensive than some other concierge practices in Naples?

Three structural reasons.

Smaller patient panel. Diamond Cove is capped at approximately 150 patients. Many corporate-branded and hospital-owned concierge practices operate with several hundred patients per physician. A smaller panel means each membership has to cover a larger share of the cost of running the practice.

Membership replaces insurance billing for in-office care. Some lower-priced concierge models continue to bill insurance for routine office visits. Their membership fee covers extras (longer visits, faster access, preventive services), but you still pay copays and deductibles for visits on top of the annual fee. At Diamond Cove, the membership covers in-office primary care entirely. No copays, no deductibles, no per-visit charges.

Doctor-owned, no corporate overhead. An independent practice doesn't subsidize membership pricing across a multi-physician network or a hospital system. The math is built around one doctor and a small panel.

That said: if a lower-cost concierge model would fit your needs better, we will say so during the meet & greet. We are not trying to sell membership to patients who would be better off elsewhere.

How to think about the value calculation

Concierge medicine is rarely the cheapest healthcare option, and pretending otherwise would be misleading. The honest case for it is value, not savings:

Time saved. Faster access for non-urgent issues means fewer half-days lost to urgent care or emergency rooms. For patients whose time has real economic value, the savings can be substantial.

Care coordinated by one office. Patients with multiple specialists often spend significant time and energy coordinating their own care. A concierge practice does that for you.

Better preventive care. Time and bandwidth allow for actual prevention, not just reactive medicine. Catching things earlier matters.

The relationship. The thing patients describe most often is the feeling of finally being heard. That is qualitative and not quantifiable, but for many patients it is what makes the cost worth it.

Family and couple memberships

Family memberships are available. Adult spouses are each priced at the adult membership level. Children are added at lower rates. Pricing details are walked through in the meet & greet because they depend on family composition and ages.

Payment

Membership is billed annually. Specifics about payment plans, billing schedules, and renewal terms are discussed during the meet & greet and laid out in the membership agreement.
