Does Inspired Health & Wellness accept insurance?

Inspired Health & Wellness does not accept insurance plans.  However, we provide you with a “Superbill” to give to your insurance provider.  A superbill is a summary of your visit that you can submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement directly to you if eligible through your plan. Contact your insurance provider to learn if you have out-of-network benefits. Medicare recipients do not have out-of-network benefits, thus cannot submit for reimbursement for the cost of their visit.  There are medication assistance programs for Medicare and uninsured patients for those who qualify financially. 

What are ways to reduce the cost if my insurance does not cover the program?

Talk with your provider at your initial visit and how they can best accommodate your budget. Also consider looking at our membership options as that is the most affordable option and keeps you on plan.

How Do I make an Appointment?

Talk to your provider at your initial visit about how they can best accommodate your budget.

How often will I need to visit the clinic?

Per Florida State Board of Medicine regulations, providers are required to see patients at a minimum of 90 day intervals to prescribe weight loss medications.  It is recommended to see your provider once a month. 

What should I expect during my initial consultation?

A one hour comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, labs, current medications, and lifestyle.  You will also discuss medication options, along with a prescribed diet and exercise regimen.  

What should I bring during my first appointment?

Please bring your insurance card, proof of identification, and any recent lab work done in the past 1-2 years. It’s okay if you don’t have them; we can request them or order new labs during your visit.  

What if I need to cancel or reschedule an appointment?

Please note the late cancellation or no-show policy:

If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, you will need to send a text message in the medical record (which is dated and time-stamped) to 850.429.4156 for Emilie and 850.754.9480 for Nathalie or click on the cancel or reschedule link in your confirmation email.  Please do not respond to an automated appointment reminder as those are unable to be seen by our staff. You may also call the office at 850.542.7314 and speak to a staff member; please do not leave a voicemail regarding a cancellation. 

If the cancellation occurs less than 24 hours before your appointment time or if you no-show, there will be a $50 fee applied. 

What is the typical duration of a weight management program?

We are not a quick-fix solution.  Every individual is different.  A good estimate would be seeing your provider monthly until you meet your goal, and from there, you would see your provider on a maintenance-based schedule. 

What kind of results can I expect, and how long will it take to see them?

Normal healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week and 4-8 pounds per month.  Some people lose more initially, depending on the number of tools or lifestyle changes they are implementing.

How do I maintain my weight loss after completing the program?

Continuing to see your provider at maintenance intervals with continued medication support and lifestyle changes is essential to keeping the weight off. 

What if I have a medical condition like diabetes or hypertension? Can I still join your program?

Yes of course! Many of our patients start the program with multiple weight-related disease processes, like diabetes or hypertension.  With significant weight loss, we are often able to reduce dosages or stop medications for those conditions. 

Can I continue to see my Primary Care Physician while participating in your program?

Yes, absolutely. While we do offer primary care services, if you already have primary care established elsewhere,  we encourage you to share your progress and treatment with your provider.  We can also help facilitate this by sharing progress notes and lab results upon request. 

Can you help with managing cravings and emotional eating?

Yes.  Our program consists of behavioral modifications, lifestyle changes, and medication therapy to help manage cravings and emotional eating.

Taylor at Inspired Health and Wellness is an exceptional esthetician! She took her time and provided me with the most effective treatment for my skin. She performed a chemical peel, and I left feeling rejuvenated and radiant! 💕

I recently went in for a gentlemanly facial from Taylor and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Taylor provided wonderful service and provided a lot of tips on how to best maximize my skin care routine. My face felt refreshed and renewed after the appointment as well. I highly recommend Taylor for your aesthetician needs. I will definitely be returning soon!

If I could give Taylor 10 stars, I would! From the moment you walk in, you are met with the most calming, professional, and welcoming energy. Taylor is incredibly knowledgeable and truly takes the time to understand your skin's unique needs. I always get her monthly facial special, and she does it perfectly every single time. Not only is the experience incredibly relaxing, but my skin has never looked better. She is a true master of her craft and genuinely cares about her clients and their skin health. Do yourself a favor and book with Taylor!

I had a great experience with my Emilie Fugate. She was very informative, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process. She provided me with all the information and tools I needed to help me lose weight and make healthier choices. She took the time to explain everything clearly and created a plan that was realistic and easy to follow. Most importantly, she helped me focus on improving my overall health, not just losing weight. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle.

I have been seeing Emilie at Inspired Health and Wellness for a little over a month after needing to find a new primary care provider following a recent diagnosis. From the beginning, Emilie has listened to my concerns, been receptive to how I feel, and worked with me to come up with a solid treatment plan. Because of my unique circumstances and what was required for me to return to work after treatment, my situation has been a little outside the norm. Emilie has helped every step of the way and has truly gone above and beyond. I have always felt heard, supported, and cared for. You can immediately tell this team genuinely cares about their patients from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. As someone in the LGBT community, I also want to say that Inspired Health and Wellness feels like a truly safe and welcoming space. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable only respected, supported, and treated with kindness. Amy, the medical assistant, is the first face you see when you arrive, and she is always smiling, welcoming, and even greets you by name. It makes such a great first impression. From start to finish, you feel like you are in good hands. That kind of care matters when you are trusting a team with your health and wellness. I absolutely recommend Inspired Health and Wellness you will not be disappointed.
