医院从私募股权支持的趋势中获利：礼宾医生护理。 Hospitals cash in on a private equity-backed trend: Concierge physician care.

美国的非营利性医院正在采用礼宾医生服务，患者每年支付 2,000 美元以上的会员费，以获得更多就诊机会。 Non-profit hospitals in the US are adopting concierge physician services, where patients pay annual membership fees of $2,000+ for increased access to their doctors. 批评者认为，这种趋势加剧了初级保健短缺并推高了成本，同时通过直接的新收入和招募富裕患者使医院受益。 Critics argue this trend exacerbates primary care shortages and drives up costs, while benefiting hospitals through direct new revenue and recruitment of affluent patients. 特约医生通常将其诊疗范围限制在 300 名患者左右，提供更短的等待时间和更长的预约时间。 Concierge physicians, who typically limit their practices to around 300 patients, offer shorter wait times and longer appointments.
