I signed up with the local concierge medical outfit a few years ago (5) when I didn't have medical insurance. I paid the first monthly payment of $69 and signed on the bottom line. Moments later my lower lip that was split in half was stitched up at no additional charge. I could have opted out from that point on and it would have been a deal compared to the doc in a box outfits or the ER of a hospital. But I stuck with the Doc because he was a really good fellow that I could trust with my care. Had a doppler ultrasound of my legs done by the local hospital with some kind of voucher he found me for about $200. Most of the meds were either free or very inexpensive.
Until something major like a heart attack happens and you are pretty much screwed.
So I'd say for a family type situation with kids always sick or breaking bones and stuff, yeah, IF you have no medical insurance the concierge for a family might be a deal. Or maybe your health insurance plan has an outrageous deductible. That might be a reason to sign up with one.
