What Is Concierge Medicine?

Concierge medicine is a model of primary care in which patients pay an annual membership fee in exchange for a higher level of access, attention, and personalized care. Instead of rushing through appointments in a high-volume office, your doctor keeps a smaller patient number and has the time to actually focus on you.

Dr. Cahill intentionally limits his practice to between 300 and 600 patients, compared to the 2,000 or more seen in traditional primary care settings. That difference translates directly into longer extended visits, same-day or next-day appointments, and a doctor who remembers the details of your life, not just your chart.

The annual membership fee is a direct, out-of-pocket investment and is not covered by insurance. However, your existing insurance remains active for labs, imaging, prescriptions, and specialist referrals. You receive the focused attention of a concierge care model alongside the financial utility of keeping your coverage in place for your needs.

A Concierge Medicine Program Built on Prevention and Personalized Care

Dr. Sean Cahill earned his MD from Loyola University's Stritch School of Medicine and completed his combined residency at Loyola University Medical Center. He holds dual board certifications through the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Pediatrics, certifications he has maintained since 2003 and 2004, respectively.

He also serves as a faculty member at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and is an affiliated physician with Northwestern Medicine as an independent practitioner on their medical staff. That connection gives his patients access to one of the country's most respected academic health systems when specialist referrals or hospital stays are needed.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Cahill approaches medicine as a long-term partnership. His focus on proactive health, longevity, and personalized wellness plans means you are not just a patient he sees when something is wrong. You are someone he is actively helping to stay well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concierge Medicine

Have questions before you commit? That is completely understandable. Call (224) 412-4529 or contact us online, and we will be happy to walk you through everything.

What is concierge medicine, and how does it work?

Concierge medicine is a membership-based model of primary care in which patients pay an annual fee directly to their physician in exchange for enhanced access, longer appointments, and more personalized attention. Dr. Cahill keeps his patient panel intentionally small so he can provide the kind of focused, unhurried care that is difficult to find in a traditional practice setting.

Is the membership fee covered by insurance?

No. The annual membership fee is a direct, out-of-pocket investment in this level of care and is not covered by insurance. 

How is concierge medicine different from a traditional primary care physician?

Traditional primary care physicians often manage panels of 2,000 or more patients, which limits the time and attention any one patient receives. Dr. Cahill's concierge care model keeps his panel between 300 and 600 patients, allowing for extended visits, same-day or next-day appointments, and direct access to your doctor between visits.

Who is a good candidate for a concierge medicine program?

This model is well-suited for adults and teens 16 and older who want a long-term relationship with a dedicated physician focused on prevention, personalized wellness plans, and proactive health management. It is particularly valued by busy professionals, those managing chronic conditions, and anyone who has found the traditional healthcare system fragmented or impersonal.

Can I still use my health insurance as a concierge medicine member?

Yes. Members are encouraged to maintain their health insurance, which can be used for associated services, including laboratory work, diagnostic imaging, medications, and specialist care. The membership fee covers the enhanced access and services provided directly by Dr. Cahill and his care team.

What happens if I need to see a specialist or am hospitalized?

Dr. Cahill coordinates referrals to specialists through the Northwestern Medicine network and beyond, ensuring your care remains connected and well-managed. If you are hospitalized, he remains involved in your care and can communicate with your hospital team on your behalf, providing continuity that most patients rarely experience.

Is concierge medicine worth the annual membership fee?

For patients who value direct access, unhurried appointments, personalized care, and a doctor genuinely invested in their long-term well-being, many find that this model represents a meaningful improvement over traditional healthcare. The value is best understood through a conversation, so we encourage you to reach out and learn more before making a decision.
