Concierge Executive Health: Access vs Measured Care

Direct answer: Concierge care sells access. Renew's answer to what an executive physical should include is a full physical: arterial imaging, with CIMT as the anchor of the arterial story, advanced lab panels testing for 33 known drivers of arterial damage, DEXA body composition, VO2 Max testing, and a physician. Performance at $999/mo is primary. Executive at $5,000/mo is secondary.

What concierge medicine is selling

Concierge, retainer, and boutique practices are a payment model. You pay a fee so the panel stays smaller and the clinician has more time. Common features people are buying:

• Same-clinician continuity
• Longer appointments
• Direct messaging or after-hours access
• Help coordinating specialists

Those features can be worth the fee if access is the problem you have. They do not name a disease, a measurement, or a retest. A concierge practice can be excellent at access and still run a conventional prevention schedule. A practice can also do deep arterial work and never use the word concierge.

Ask any retainer practice this question in writing: what do you measure, what do you change, and how will we know? If the answer is only "you can reach us," you bought access. That can be a fair purchase. Call it what it is.

What an executive physical is selling

An executive physical, in the hospital sense, is a compressed itinerary.

• Cleveland Clinic: a standard exam of about six to eight hours. Plan on a full day.
• Mayo Clinic: a personalized 1-to-3-day itinerary of exams, tests, and consults.

Mayo Clinic's flyer is explicit about this mix-up. A medical concierge program, in their words, is a membership with around-the-clock year-round provider access for an annual fee. They say they are not that membership and do not provide that access. They do describe a career-long relationship centered on an annual visit, specialist access, and executive-level amenities, plus support between appointments.

A famous executive-health program can feel concierge because of a lounge, a coordinator, and a quiet schedule. The clinical work is still the visit. Amenities are not a reversal protocol.

The format comparison lives on executive physical. How to choose among programs lives on best executive physical.

What Renew is selling

Pricing says every membership measures your arterial disease and builds a plan to reverse it. Higher tiers add more contact, more testing, and more of your health managed for you.

That is the offer on executive health:

	Concierge access model	Exam-day executive physical	Renew membership
What you pay for	Time and reachability	A coordinated stay	A full physical across the membership
Typical clock	Ongoing retainer	6 to 8 hours, or 1 to 3 days	Membership cadence
What is named up front	Often none	The itinerary you were quoted	CIMT as the anchor, plus advanced labs, DEXA, VO2 Max, and a physician
After the first month	You can still message	Summary goes to local care	Protocol stays with the physician and care team

Primary: Performance, $999/mo. Pricing describes it as arterial reversal plus body composition, brain health, and metabolic optimization, all measured, all tracked, all managed by your care team. CIMT is the anchor of the arterial story. Performance includes DEXA body composition scans (2x/year), VO2 Max testing (2x/year), tune-up labs (4x/year), monthly physician visits, monthly S&C coaching sessions, monthly nutritionist sessions, in-home mobile phlebotomy, an annual Executive Health Report, and an Oura Ring + data plan.

Secondary: Executive, $5,000/mo. Pricing describes it as everything in Performance, plus weekly coaching, meal delivery, supplements shipped, custom compounding, and unlimited physician access. Executive publishes DEXA body composition scans (4x/year), VO2 Max testing (4x/year), CIMT + advanced arterial imaging, unlimited physician access, a dedicated sleep specialist, weekly S&C coaching sessions, unlimited nutritionist access, meal delivery or personal chef meal prep, all supplements included and shipped monthly, custom compounded medications, and priority scheduling. Unlimited physician access sits on top of that full physical. If you only wanted a retainer for messaging, this is the wrong product.

Every membership includes CIMT arterial imaging, advanced lab panels testing for 33 known drivers of arterial damage, a dedicated physician and care coordinator, the root cause workup (OralDNA, sleep, genetics) once a year, and a dental liaison. Tests included in every membership include an advanced inflammation panel, an insulin resistance panel with OGTT, a lipoprotein panel with Lp(a) and ApoB, genetic testing for ApoE, KIF6, and 9p21, OralDNA testing, a sleep study, and a vitamin and metabolic panel. Pricing does not assign each of those panels to a tune-up visit.

GLP-1 medications, peptides, and hormone replacement therapy are available in Performance and Executive memberships, prescribed and monitored by your physician. The dementia prevention track, which includes cognitive baseline testing, is available in Performance and Executive memberships.

Pricing lists a money-back guarantee on every tier: "If you experience a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular event while actively enrolled and following your protocol, we refund your membership fees."

The method is on How it works. We do not claim this model has better outcomes than Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic. The difference we will name is the product. Renew's membership is a full physical. Concierge is access. An exam day is a short itinerary.

Employer-paid access is a separate contract. See corporate executive physical. Renew does not publish a concierge-directory page, and this article will not send you to a list of outside retainer clinics.

Questions that keep the categories straight

Use these when a website mixes the words executive, concierge, and longevity.

1. Is the fee a retainer for access, a quote for one stay, or a membership that includes a defined workup?
2. Is imaging named, and will it be repeated?
3. Who changes treatment when a driver is abnormal?
4. Which parts of the fee are amenities, meals, or coaching rather than medical care? That split matters for HSA questions and for insurance.

Do not self-stage your arteries from a millimeter or a letter grade while you shop. The clinician who orders the test should interpret it.

Frequently asked questions

Is concierge executive health the same as an executive physical?

Concierge sells access, such as longer visits and a faster reply. Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic publish exam-day itineraries, and Mayo Clinic says its program is not around-the-clock year-round concierge care. A lounge and a coordinator do not make that visit a reversal protocol.

Is Renew a concierge practice?

Renew prices membership for measurement and a plan, not a retainer that only sells access. Performance at $999/mo is the primary path: a full physical with CIMT as the anchor of arterial imaging, advanced labs, DEXA body composition, VO2 Max testing, and monthly physician visits. Executive at $5,000/mo adds unlimited physician access on top of that work.

What does concierge executive health cost?

Retainer fees are set by each practice. This page does not invent a national concierge price. Renew's published prices here are Performance at $999/mo, primary, and Executive at $5,000/mo, secondary. Both are a full physical with a physician, advanced labs, DEXA body composition, and VO2 Max testing, with CIMT as the anchor of arterial imaging.

Does unlimited access mean better medical results?

Access changes how quickly you can reach a clinician. Results depend on what is measured and treated. This page does not publish a head-to-head outcomes claim.

Which Renew tier is the access tier?

Executive at $5,000/mo is the secondary tier. It adds unlimited physician access, a dedicated sleep specialist, weekly S&C coaching sessions, unlimited nutritionist access, meal delivery or personal chef meal prep, all supplements included and shipped monthly, custom compounded medications, priority scheduling, and CIMT + advanced arterial imaging. DEXA and VO2 Max are 4x/year on Executive. Performance at $999/mo is the primary clinical path, with DEXA and VO2 Max at 2x/year and monthly physician visits. Both are a full physical with a physician, not access alone.
