A concierge nurse practitioner (NP) service is a healthcare model where a nurse practitioner provides patients with personalized, convenient, and often more accessible medical care outside of the traditional clinic or hospital setting. Instead of relying solely on insurance, patients usually pay a membership fee, retainer, or per-visit fee for direct access to the NP.
