Concierge Medicine
What Is Integrative Medicine in a Concierge Practice?
Haute MD Editorial Team
Integrative medicine in a concierge practice combines conventional evidence-based medicine with complementary approaches — nutrition, mind-body interventions, lifestyle medicine, and selected supplementation — within the time and continuity that concierge access enables.
What integrative concierge includes
Standard medical care plus structured nutrition, stress reduction, sleep optimization, evidence-graded supplementation, and lifestyle protocols developed collaboratively with the patient.
Why it works well in a concierge setting
Integrative care requires time — for history, for behavior change, for follow-up. Concierge structure provides that time, which insurance billing rarely supports.
What to evaluate
Board certification in a primary specialty, additional training in integrative or functional medicine, evidence-based approach to supplementation, and clear scope around what is and is not used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is integrative medicine the same as alternative medicine?
No — integrative medicine combines conventional medicine with evidence-supported complementary care.
Is it evidence-based?
The best integrative practices apply the same evidence standards as conventional medicine.
Does insurance cover it?
Generally not the integrative component; conventional services may be billable.
What does it cost?
Typically priced within the concierge membership; some supplements or testing are extra.
