Here are the most frequently asked questions about our health plans and coverages answered.
Yes! Our Annual Health Plans are designed to give you options based on your lifestyle and needs. With each plan we become your primary care provider, offering all the services you expect from your family doctor. With an Annual Health Plan, we will handle your acute illness (cold, flu, allergies, belly pain, UTIs, etc.)—often with a quick message through our online patient portal or even a Skype call! Best of all, all of these services are provided from a functional medicine perspective, meaning we look at you as a “whole person” to figure out how genetics and lifestyle factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise play a role in your health. We absolutely write prescriptions–we are just looking to find out how you can avoid them whenever possible! You won’t find this perspective on primary care anywhere else in the area.
The Essentials Plan is perfect if you normally have one yearly checkup with lab work and one to two sick visits per year. Minor illnesses can often be handled by sending us a message through our easy-to-use patient portal, which we can use to fax a prescription directly to your pharmacy. Follow-up or sick visits can even be done via Skype if you prefer! This plan may also work if you have one minor chronic condition that requires infrequent monitoring of blood work such as hypothyroidism or high blood pressure that is well-controlled. And don’t forget that this plan includes easy access to messaging us through the patient portal when you have questions or concerns (no more leaving a phone message with an automated answering service and waiting for a call back). You’ll even get 10% off IV Vitamin Drips, Injections and in-office supplement purchases!
For those requiring a little more attention, or if you are interested in prevention and optimizing your wellness routine, the Wellness Plan is for you. This is our most popular plan, because it not only includes all the primary care services that you receive with the Essentials, it also includes more visits with the MD (useful if you have more than one minor condition requiring more frequent follow-up), PLUS one vitamin injection per month (B-12, Vitamin D, Biotin, Fat-burning MIC, etc.), unlimited infrared sauna visits AND a discount on additional vitamin injections, IV vitamin drips and all supplements purchased in our retail store.
If you are really looking to up your healthcare game, consider our Premium Plan. This plan includes everything you get with the Essentials or Wellness, along with additional follow-up visits with the MD, plus one IV drip session per month and priority appointment scheduling.
Each tier of our Annual Health Plans includes 12 months of care. This means one year of cutting-edge primary care from a whole-body perspective, with personalized guidance and unlimited access to messaging and your health information through our easy to use patient portal.
Our providers and knowledgeable staff will help you choose the plan that provides an appropriate number of visits based on your needs. And keep in mind that you will be able to message our office through your patient portal for minor issues, questions and prescription refills for the entire 12 month period. If you do require additional visits, however, you will be able to add those for the cost of an a la carte follow-up visit ($300).
After purchasing an Annual Health Plan you will have 30 days to make any changes to your plan, including cancellation.
We believe that health is a journey and as such we believe that an Annual Health Plan is right for most patients. We believe it encourages you to commit to making changes in your lifestyle that will lead to living well and feeling your best for the long haul. You are not, however, required to purchase an Annual Health Plan to be seen by our providers and you do have the option to pay “a la carte” for each visit.
Please see our “A La Carte Pricing page”.
No. We encourage you to have your visit with Dr. Chavers first to determine the complexity of your case and treatment plan, which will allow us to help you choose the payment method that will be best for you.
No. The $500 is the cost of our “Foundational Assessment,” which is the initial evaluation by the MD, if you choose to pay a la carte. If you choose an Annual Health Plan, you will only pay the $150 registration fee plus the first month’s payment at your first visit, depending on which tier you choose. Your remaining payments will be auto-drafted from your account monthly.
Typically, any blood work that we order is covered by your insurance if you have it drawn at a location that is approved by your insurance company (Quest, LabCorp, etc.) and any billing for lab costs will be handled by that lab. If you do not have insurance, you will work out the cost of your testing with the lab. For patients who pay out-of-pocket, we recommend ProHealth in Santa Rosa Beach, Milton, Crestview, Ft. Walton Beach, Gulf Breeze, or Pensacola. You may also require more specialized Functional Medicine testing. This may include urine, stool, saliva, and blood tests, some of which you will do at home. Generally, these things are not covered by insurance. Prices will vary depending on which test you take.
Testosterone pellets are billed separately and are not included in the Annual Health Plans at this time.
The services included in each health plan are set and there are no substitutions.
Follow up visits that are included with your Annual Health Plan may be used how you need them most! All new patients should expect to be seen for follow up 4-6 weeks after the initial evaluation to go over results of lab testing and then at least 1 to 2 additional times within the 12 month period depending on the complexity of your case. Any of the follow up visits may be used however you choose. We can often handle minor illnesses through our patient portal messaging system if we feel that this can be done safely or otherwise have you come in for a quick 10-15 minute visit that will not count as one of your follow-up visits.
