Introducing MaxWell Care

As of April 5th, we will only see patients who have joined MaxWell Care. To continue your care with your Clinician and your team at MaxWell Clinic, you must join MaxWell Care. Beginning March 9th, we won’t be able to schedule any new appointments for you unless you are a MaxWell Care patient.

You need to sign up as soon as possible. Here’s why. Since we are decreasing the total number of patients we are serving, we are extending this offer for MaxWell Care to our existing patients first. On April 1st we'll open the doors to our waiting list. Space is limited and patients will be accepted on a first-come basis, so don't delay! And if you sign up for MaxWell Care by April 1st, you’ll receive $100 off your first month.

Your appointment is still on the schedule and we will honor that appointment. But it will be your last appointment unless you join MaxWell Care. To schedule future appointments you will need to join MaxWell Care. If you choose not to join, we will sadly pass along your records to the physician of your choice.

Unlike a health coach, your MaxWell Advocate is intimately tied to all the details of your wellness plan. Typically, a health coach educates on basic health matters, But your MaxWell Advocate is going to be working intimately with your Clinician, improving communication and advocating for your success every step of the way by proactively reaching out to you to keep you on track, discuss your appointments and make certain you are getting what you need in between visits.

We will set up a recurring automatic bank draft or credit card payment. On the MaxWell Care Agreement form in your portal, you’ll be able to select what you prefer.

Spaces for each Clinician are limited. We will honor your existing Clinician until their spots fill up. Join now to ensure you get to keep your Clinician!

Our practice is full of amazing Clinicians! But, in that event, we’ll discuss your other options and help you find a Clinician that you’ll love working with.

As of April 5th, we will become out-of-network providers rather than in-network providers for all insurance programs. When we realized we were going to have to cut visit times down to 10 minutes (the average primary care visit time) or close our doors - there was no longer any choice left. The decision regarding insurance has come as a result of our commitment to put your personalized care ahead of Insurance paperwork and contractual restrictions. Inside the insurance model, we are forced to treat you (our patients) according to their rules, rather than according to your needs or even how you want to be treated. Rather than trying to continue to fit inside this dysfunctional model, we have redesigned our clinic to give you more of what you actually need. Without the restrictions of an insurance-based health care model, we are able to offer you more time, more support, and more innovative therapies in a highly cost effective manner.

MaxWell Clinic simply chooses to work directly with and for our patients and no longer support the infuriating interference of insurance. You can still use your insurance for some labs, testing, and medications, or you may want to save money and take advantage of our discounted direct pricing on these components of your health care.

When it comes to choosing a health care professional, we encourage you to make your health the deciding factor. MaxWell Clinic puts you on a path towards wellness by addressing the root cause of their symptoms. Choosing an in-network Clinician who is forced by the system to push you through the office using symptom-suppressing therapies might save you money in copays, but will it really address your underlying health issues? Don’t let the fact that we’re out of network stop you from becoming a patient at MaxWell Clinic. Allow us to partner with you on your health journey, so you can get the care you need and deserve.

Many of our patients use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to pay for care at MaxWell Clinic. This allows you to use pre-tax dollars, which may save you money.

Based on your insurance, you may be able to recoup some of your MaxWell Care costs by submitting your office visits or group visits (also known as health webinars) as an out-of-network expense. Please understand, insurance will not simply reimburse you for your MaxWell Care program fees, but rather, after each office visit, you can ask your Health Advocate for the paperwork you can submit to your insurance company. Typical out-of-network reimbursement may refund you anywhere from 30-60% of your MaxWell Care program fees. Remember, every insurance program is different, so it is best to connect with your insurance provider to clarify your benefits and take advantage of FSA, HSA, and out-of-network coverage.

Your blood work, specialty testing, and supplements are not included in your MaxWell Care program fees. While most of our standard labs are done through LabCorp and can often be covered through your insurance, we often suggest specialty lab testing to our patients. Please speak with your insurance company before completing blood work or specialty testing to fully understand your coverage. You always have the final say with regard to what testing you engage and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have.

Most of our patients average 4 Clinician visits per year. But, based on your needs, discounted a-la-carte pricing is available to you for any additional visits.

We encourage you to use ALL your MaxWell Care appointments so you can get all the care and support you need to really maximize your wellness. If you choose not to book all these appointments, your monthly MaxWell Care price still remains the same.
