Longevity clinics in the United States: an independent overview

The Longevity Registry Editorial Team · Last reviewed: September 25, 2026

Longevity medicine in the U.S. is offered by three kinds of provider: independent longevity and concierge practices, hospital executive-health programs, and direct-to-consumer diagnostics services. The Longevity Registry documents 306 of them in 34 states, described in one consistent vocabulary so they can be compared. We don't rank them, and nobody pays to be included.

Three kinds of provider

Independent longevity and concierge practices. Usually a small physician-owned practice built around a membership. Expect extended appointments, broad lab panels and, depending on the practice, hormone therapy, peptides or IV infusions. Quality varies more here than anywhere else, which is why credentials matter most in this group.

Hospital executive-health programs. Academic medical centers and large health systems offer one- or two-day assessments with specialist consultations and imaging. They are the most conservative option clinically, and often the easiest to verify.

Diagnostics services. Companies offering lab memberships, whole-body MRI or blood-based cancer screening directly to consumers. Useful for a baseline, but you still need a physician who interprets the result and decides what happens next.

What it costs

A lab-panel membership runs roughly $350 to $600 a year. A whole-body MRI screen commonly costs $1,200 to $2,600. A full one-day assessment with imaging and physician review sits between $5,000 and $15,000, and annual membership programs range from $15,000 to $40,000 and above. Hospital executive-health programs start lower, from around $1,200. Most of it is paid out of pocket.

How we assess a provider

Every entry is researched against the same criteria: a physician (MD or DO) with current primary board certification in a relevant specialty; transparency about which diagnostics are offered and the evidence behind them; a published or clearly stated price; and genuine availability for patients over time. Providers who want the seal submit documentation, and we publish the result with a date. Read the full standard.

Where longevity medicine is practiced

What is offered, and how strong the evidence is

Grade A means established clinical evidence for the stated use. Grade B means promising but incomplete evidence. Read how we grade.

Warning signs

Four signs that a clinic has not been properly set up: no verifiable primary board certification; hormone or peptide prescriptions without comprehensive testing first; aggressive supplement upselling; and vagueness about the total cost. A clinic that can't tell you who reviews your results, and what happens if something abnormal turns up, is not running a clinical program.

Frequently asked questions

What is a longevity clinic?

A medical practice focused on prevention and healthspan rather than treating existing disease. It typically combines extended testing — blood biomarkers, fitness, body composition, imaging — with a plan for exercise, nutrition, sleep and, where indicated, medication. "Longevity physician" is not a protected title in the U.S.

How much does a longevity clinic cost?

From about $350 a year for a lab membership to $40,000 and more for a full annual program. Ask for the total in writing before you book.

Does insurance cover longevity medicine?

Generally not. Individual tests ordered for a documented medical indication may be billable, and hospital executive-health programs can bill part of their clinical services. Confirm with the provider and your plan before you book.

Which is the best longevity clinic in the U.S.?

There isn't one answer, and we don't rank. The right clinic depends on what you want to find out, how much ongoing care you want and what you can spend. Compare clinics on credentials, cost transparency and who handles your results — the questions in our checklist help.

How do I check a longevity doctor's credentials?

Look up the physician's license with the state medical board, or through DocInfo.org, run by the Federation of State Medical Boards. Board certification can be checked at CertificationMatters.org, run by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Supplemental longevity or functional-medicine certificates only mean something on top of primary board certification.

How is The Longevity Registry funded?

Through paid verification reviews and expanded profiles bought by providers. Inclusion is free, lists are alphabetical, and payment never changes an assessment or a position.
