CONCIERGE MEDICINE
Personalized care. Greater access. An ongoing relationship.
Concierge medicine at VECTOR offers longer visits, greater access to your provider, and time to understand your health beyond today's concern.
Through an ongoing membership relationship, care is centered on your history, current needs, priorities, and goals—with guidance that can evolve with you.
The clinic is in Oak Ridge, roughly 20 minutes from Hardin Valley and west Knoxville and 25 from Farragut by Pellissippi Parkway or TN-62.
A different approach to your care
More time for what matters.
Rather than starting over at each visit, your care builds on a relationship with a provider who knows your history. Appointments allow time for meaningful discussion, appropriate evaluation, and clear recommendations.

What concierge care may include
Care that evolves with you.
• Acute and sick visits
• Review and discussion of laboratory results
• Individualized health guidance and follow-up
• Coordination with specialists and other healthcare professionals when appropriate
• Telehealth visits when clinically appropriate
Testing, medications, procedures, and outside services may involve additional costs depending on the membership and treatment plan.
Your membership
More than access to appointments.
Membership creates an ongoing relationship rather than a series of isolated visits. Options are available for individuals and couples; VECTOR will explain the available plans and help determine whether concierge medicine is the right fit.
Concierge medicine and your other healthcare
Personalized care that works alongside the care you need.
VECTOR does not require you to give up an established primary care provider. Concierge care may work alongside your primary care clinician, specialists, and other healthcare professionals when appropriate.
Concierge membership is not health insurance and does not replace specialist care, hospital care, or emergency medical services. Many other VECTOR services may be accessed without joining concierge medicine.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine is a membership-based approach to medical care that allows for longer visits, greater access to your provider, and an ongoing healthcare relationship. At VECTOR, the goal is to provide more time for thoughtful evaluation, discussion, and individualized care.
Do I need a membership for concierge medicine?
Yes. Concierge Medicine at VECTOR is provided through a membership. VECTOR also offers separate membership programs for Hormone Optimization and Medical Weight Management, while many other services are available without joining a membership.
Can I keep my existing primary care provider?
Yes. Concierge medicine at VECTOR does not require you to give up an established primary care relationship. Your healthcare needs may involve VECTOR, your primary care clinician, specialists, or other healthcare professionals, and care can be coordinated when appropriate.
Can I receive other VECTOR services without joining concierge medicine?
Yes. You do not need to be a concierge medicine member to receive many of VECTOR's other services. Hormone optimization and medical weight management have their own programs and membership options, while services such as medical aesthetics, regenerative medicine, hair restoration, sexual wellness, and IV therapy may be accessed separately when appropriate.
Does VECTOR offer telehealth appointments?
Yes. Telehealth appointments are available for appropriate visit types when an in-person examination or procedure is not required. Your provider can help determine when telehealth is appropriate for your care.
Does concierge medicine replace health insurance?
No. Concierge membership is not health insurance and is not a substitute for health insurance. Patients may still need insurance or another form of coverage for services outside VECTOR, including specialist care, hospital care, imaging, medications, and other healthcare expenses.
What should I do if I have a medical emergency?
Concierge access does not replace emergency medical services. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate emergency care rather than waiting for communication through VECTOR.
