luxury medicine

Costly health treatments

Luxury medicine refers to healthcare services, treatments, or facilities that go beyond standard medical care, offering premium amenities, personalized attention, or cutting-edge procedures unavailable through conventional channels.

This includes concierge medicine practices, exclusive clinics, and elective treatments that insurance typically won't cover: The clinic's luxury medicine offerings include private suites and dedicated nursing staff.

The term sometimes carries criticism, implying healthcare divided by wealth rather than need.
