Legal Disclosures
These terms apply to your use of the Concierge Medicine Alternative website and services, operated by Family Dream Machine LLC. Effective: September 1, 2026
Please read first. Concierge Medicine Alternative is a business, education, and marketing service for physicians. We do not practice medicine, and we do not treat patients. Family Dream Machine LLC, through Concierge Medicine Alternative, provides educational and informational content and marketing and practice-transition support services for physicians who are considering a concierge or membership-based telemedicine practice. We do not provide medical, accounting, tax, legal, financial, or investment advice, and nothing on this website or in our materials creates a client, advisory, patient, physician-patient, or professional relationship of any kind. Every physician who works with us practices under his or her own license, is solely responsible for all clinical decisions and patient care, and remains the only party in a physician-patient relationship with his or her own patients. Our founder is a CPA, but in connection with this website he is not acting as your accountant or advisor. Concierge medicine, direct primary care, telemedicine, and related models are governed by state-specific laws; always consult your own qualified professionals — including a healthcare attorney licensed in your state — before acting on any information you find here.
These Legal Disclosures apply to your use of the Family Dream Machine LLC website and services, including Concierge Medicine Alternative. Questions or concerns?

Terms of Service
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website (conciergemedicinealternative.com), including any content, functionality, and services offered through it (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.
1. Scope of Services
Concierge Medicine Alternative is a business, education, and marketing service for physicians. Family Dream Machine LLC, through Concierge Medicine Alternative, offers educational and informational content and marketing and practice-transition support services for physicians who are considering a concierge or membership-based telemedicine practice. We are not a CPA firm, a law firm, a medical practice, a medical group, a telehealth provider, or a financial advisory firm, and we do not provide medical, accounting, tax, legal, financial, or investment advice or any professional services. Using this website or our materials does not create any client, advisory, fiduciary, accountant-client, attorney-client, or physician-patient relationship.
Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services.
2. We Do Not Practice Medicine
Concierge Medicine Alternative does not practice medicine and does not treat patients. We do not diagnose conditions, recommend or provide treatment, prescribe, or deliver any clinical or telehealth care to any patient, and we do not exercise control over the clinical judgment of any physician. Every physician who works with us practices under his or her own license and is solely and independently responsible for all clinical decisions, patient care, medical records, licensure, credentialing, and compliance with the laws of every state in which he or she practices. The physician-patient relationship exists solely between the physician and his or her patients; we are never a party to it. Our role is limited to business education, practice-transition support, and marketing.
3. Educational Purpose — No Professional Advice
All content is provided for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical, legal, accounting, tax, financial, or investment advice. Our founder is a Certified Public Accountant; any reference to his credentials or experience is provided for background and context only and does not mean that Family Dream Machine LLC or its founder is acting as your CPA or advisor. Licensing fees, compact requirements, and regulatory information described on this site change frequently and are provided as general context only; confirm current requirements with the relevant state board and with your own counsel. You should consult your own qualified professional for advice tailored to your circumstances before acting on any information.
4. No Guarantee of Results
Building, transitioning, or marketing a practice involves risk and effort. We make no representation or guarantee of any specific income, patient volume, membership growth, tax savings, profit, or business outcome. Any examples, figures, or results described are illustrative only and are not promises of what you will achieve. Your results depend on your own decisions, effort, market, and circumstances.
5. Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy above for details on how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
6. Electronic Communications and Message Delivery
By providing your contact information you consent to receive electronic communications from us. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply. We do not guarantee that any email or text message will be delivered, or delivered within any particular time.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to or use of our Services. This includes, but is not limited to, errors or omissions in content, interruptions or delays in service, or any business, clinical, or financial decision you make based on our materials.
In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, you agree that the total, aggregate liability of Family Dream Machine LLC for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any materials we provide — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — shall not exceed the total amount of fees you have actually paid to us for the Services at issue, if any.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for your convenience and do not constitute an endorsement by us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of these third-party websites.
9. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, images, videos, materials, and software, as well as the "Concierge Medicine Alternative" and "Family Dream Machine" names and branding — is the property of Family Dream Machine LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or use any content without our prior written consent.
10. User Conduct and Use of the Services
You agree to use our website and Services only for lawful purposes. You agree not to impersonate another person or entity; transmit spam, viruses, or malicious code; interfere with the operation of our website or Services; or share your account credentials or copy, resell, or redistribute any non-public materials.
11. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website. Your continued use of the Services after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
12. Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms shall be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida.
Site Content, Figures, and Regulatory Context
1. State Regulation of Concierge and Direct-Care Practice
Concierge medicine, direct primary care, membership and retainer models, and telemedicine are subject to state-specific laws and regulations. These include rules on the corporate practice of medicine, requirements to disclose that a membership is not insurance, state insurance and discount-plan statutes, Medicare participation and opt-out rules, and state telehealth and prescribing requirements. These rules differ materially from state to state and change. Consult a healthcare attorney licensed in each state where you intend to practice, and your own tax and accounting professionals, before making any change to your practice.
2. Licensing and Compact Figures
Medical licensing fees, Interstate Medical Licensure Compact participation and fees, state telehealth registrations, and DEA registration costs described on this site are general estimates as of August 2026, drawn from the compact’s published fee table, state medical boards, and federal fee schedules. They are shown as typical costs for context only; individual states vary widely and fees change frequently. Confirm current fees and your own eligibility with the relevant state board before relying on any figure.
3. Third-Party Software and Vendor Pricing
Software platforms, marketing firms, and practice-conversion companies described on the Existing Technology page are independent third parties. Prices, features, and Business Associate Agreement terms shown were taken from each company’s own published pricing or marketing pages in August 2026 and change frequently. Nothing on that page is an endorsement or a paid placement. We are not affiliated with any of these companies, and we receive no commission, referral fee, or other compensation from any of them. Confirm current pricing, current BAA terms, and what is included versus billed as an add-on directly with the vendor.
4. Illustrations, Examples, and Third-Party Stories
Membership prices, panel sizes, revenue and cost figures, payment-processing arithmetic, and practice valuation commentary shown on this site are illustrations used to explain how the model works. They are not projections, appraisals, or promises of what you will achieve, and they are not a valuation of any practice. Physicians, podcasts, books, and articles referenced on the Real Life Examples page are independent third parties describing their own experiences; they are not our clients, they are not compensated by us, and their results are not typical of, or a prediction for, anyone else. We make no representation or guarantee of any particular income, patient retention, membership growth, tax result, sale price, or business outcome.
5. Patient Communications and Text Messaging
Any live SMS program requires the recipient’s prior express consent; see the SMS Communication Disclosures below. Separately, and independently of anything on this site, communications between a physician and his or her patients that involve protected health information must use a HIPAA-eligible, consent-based channel under a Business Associate Agreement with the vendor. Each physician is solely responsible for that compliance in his or her own practice.
6. Currency of This Site
Regulatory information, fees, and third-party prices on this site were current as of August 2026 and are not updated continuously. Where a figure matters to a decision you are making, verify it at the source before you rely on it.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service. Message and data rates may apply.
Opt-Out: Text STOP to (656) 565-7881 at any time to stop receiving messages. Because all of our brands currently send from this one number, a single STOP stops messages from all of them.
