Same-Day Concierge Access from Icon Medicine

Priority same-day telehealth appointments, a direct provider text line, and concierge-standard care coordination — available as an add-on tier for Icon Medicine patients in MAT, primary care, and behavioral health. The same access model used at Georgetown-style concierge practices, delivered via Icon Medicine's telehealth-first care platform.

What the Concierge Access Tier Is

Icon Medicine's concierge access tier is a flat monthly retainer that adds priority access and direct provider communication on top of your existing care. The clinical services you already receive — MAT prescriptions, primary care follow-ups, mental health visits — continue exactly as they do today. What changes is the access layer above them.

The concierge tier borrows the access model used at top concierge internal-medicine practices in the D.C. metro (including Georgetown-style concierge programs): when you need your provider, you reach them the same day. Secure-text responses within 2 business hours. Visit slots reserved for concierge patients each day. Prescription routing expedited. Care coordination handled in-house rather than handed off to a call center.

Concierge access is available to Icon Medicine patients in three existing service lines: MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment for OUD or AUD), primary care, and behavioral health. It's an upgrade, not a replacement — your ongoing treatment plan, prescriber, and follow-up schedule stay the same.

Six Benefits of the Concierge Access Tier

Concierge patients get a different access experience than standard Icon Medicine patients — same clinical quality, materially faster and more direct access to your provider.

Priority Same-Day Appointment Guarantee

When you reach out with an urgent concern during business hours, you're guaranteed a same-day telehealth visit — not a next-day callback. Slots are reserved for concierge patients daily so you never wait weeks for a clinician.

Direct Provider Text Line

A HIPAA-compliant secure text line straight to your provider — no front-desk triage, no portal message that takes 3 days to answer. Most messages get a response within 2 business hours, including medication questions and refills.

Extended Visit Lengths

Standard Icon Medicine visits run 20–30 minutes. Concierge visits run 45–60 minutes — enough time to handle multiple concerns in one sit-down, talk through options, and leave with a clear plan rather than another follow-up appointment.

Dedicated Care Coordinator

A dedicated coordinator handles your referrals, prior authorizations, lab orders, and pharmacy issues end-to-end. You don't spend hours on hold with insurance or chasing a fax — your coordinator does that work for you.

Expedited Prescription Routing

Refills and new prescriptions are routed the same day they're written — not the following morning. Prior authorizations are initiated within an hour of the order. Most concierge patients have their medication in hand the day of their visit.

Concierge Coordination for Labs & Referrals

When you need a specialist, your concierge coordinator finds one, books the appointment, sends your records, and follows up — instead of handing you a phone number. Lab orders are coordinated through Quest or LabCorp with a single touchpoint.

Concierge Access on Top of MAT, Primary Care, or Behavioral Health

The concierge tier is additive — it enhances access, doesn't replace clinical treatment. Here's exactly how it sits on top of your existing Icon Medicine services.

Who Can Enroll

Concierge access is open to current Icon Medicine patients receiving care through any of:

  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT for OUD or AUD)
  • Primary care — chronic and acute visits
  • Behavioral health and mental health care
  • Weight management, men's health, or other active service lines
  • New patients starting any of the above service lines

Fee vs. Insurance

The concierge tier is a flat monthly retainer paid out-of-pocket:

  • Billed monthly — not per visit
  • Insurance does not cover concierge access anywhere in the U.S.
  • Your underlying MAT, primary care, and mental health visits still bill to insurance as usual
  • No surprise fees, no per-message surcharge, no separate copays
  • Self-pay pricing — predictable monthly cost

Integration with Existing Care

Concierge access sits on top of your active treatment plan:

  • Your existing prescriber, medications, and follow-up cadence stay the same
  • MAT schedules, Suboxone visits, naltrexone refills — unchanged
  • Mental health visit frequency and therapy — unchanged
  • Concierge adds speed and direct access; it does not interrupt clinical flow

How to Enroll

Getting onto the concierge tier takes one call:

  • Call (240) 966-4266 or book online via the link below
  • Tell the scheduler you want to add the concierge access tier
  • Your provider confirms eligibility at your next visit
  • Concierge access begins immediately after enrollment — same-day benefit kicks in at your next contact

Concierge Access Tier Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Icon Medicine patients and prospective concierge members about how the tier works, what it costs, and how it interacts with existing care.

Eligibility is open to current Icon Medicine patients already receiving care through Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT for OUD or AUD), primary care, or behavioral health. New patients can enroll at the same time they start any of these service lines. The tier is an upgrade to your existing care, not a replacement for it — you stay with your current Icon Medicine provider and service line.
When you reach out with an urgent issue during business hours, you're guaranteed a same-day telehealth visit slot — not a tomorrow callback. Secure text responses from your provider arrive within 2 business hours. New prescriptions and refills are routed the same day, and prior authorizations are initiated within an hour of being ordered. This is the same access model used at Georgetown-style concierge practices — designed so you never wait weeks to reach your clinician.
No. Concierge access is a flat monthly retainer paid out-of-pocket because health insurance — including Maryland Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial plans — does not cover access fees anywhere in the U.S. Insurance pays for specific clinical services, not for the priority access model. Your underlying MAT, primary care, and mental health visits continue to be billed to your insurance as usual; only the concierge tier itself is a flat monthly fee.
No — concierge is additive, not a replacement. Your existing medication regimen, prescriber, monthly follow-up cadence, and care plan continue exactly as before. The concierge tier adds priority same-day appointment slots, direct provider texting, longer visits, expedited refills, and a dedicated coordinator on top of what's already included in your service. It's the access layer above your clinical care, not a substitute for it.
The concierge tier is billed monthly with no long-term contract. You can cancel at any time and retain concierge access through the end of your current billing month. Cancellation is not refunded for partial months, but you are not billed for the following month. There are no cancellation fees, no early-termination penalties, and no minimum commitment.
Yes. All Icon Medicine interactions — including concierge text lines and telehealth visits — are HIPAA-compliant and protected under federal law. Substance use treatment records are additionally protected under 42 CFR Part 2; your employer, family, and insurance company cannot access your records without your written consent. The concierge tier does not change Icon Medicine's existing confidentiality protections in any way.

Concierge Tier Membership

The concierge tier is offered as a flat monthly retainer — predictable, transparent, and self-pay. Insurance covers your underlying clinical care (MAT, primary care, mental health) as usual; the concierge access layer sits on top, billed separately as a membership fee.

There is no long-term contract, no setup fee, and no cancellation penalty. You can discontinue at the end of any month and revert to standard Icon Medicine access. Concierge enrollment can begin at your next visit or right away for active patients.
