Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our services, care approach, and what to expect on your wellness journey.

Wellness Plan & Other Costs

What options and discounts are available for the wellness plan?

We offer both monthly and yearly payment options (the yearly option is discounted to include a free month). We also provide family discounts (approximately 10% off each plan for multiple family members enrolling together) and a significant young adult discount (50% off for patients ages 12-26 enrolling with a parent). We don’t see patients under 12 years old, as Dr. Singh is not a pediatrician.

 
Is there a minimum commitment period?

We don’t require a long-term contract and you are free to pay monthly and cancel anytime. However, we encourage viewing your membership as an investment in your long-term health and a true partnership with Dr. Singh. Root cause-focused healing can take time to achieve meaningful results. Your commitment to giving our approach a real chance (at least 6 months) allows us to work together effectively toward your health goals.

Is the wellness plan covered by insurance?

Unfortunately not. Health insurance does not currently support concierge-style approaches such as Alpha Wellness that emphasize unrushed, holistic-focused, and truly personalized care.

Can I use my HSA, FSA, or similar accounts to pay for the wellness plan?

Yes. The wellness plan fee is typically eligible for HSA, HRA, FSA, and MSA account spending. We recommend confirming eligibility with your specific plan provider, and we’re happy to provide any documentation you might need.

What services are NOT included in the wellness plan?

Our wellness plan includes the specific services described on our Wellness Plan page. It also enables Dr. Singh to provide unrushed, holistic-focused, and truly personalized care. However, we do continue to bill your insurance for covered services, and copay and deductible amounts incurred under your insurance plan will remain your responsibility.

Additionally, depending on your health needs, Dr. Singh may recommend specialized functional testing and/or integrative treatments that are often not covered by insurance. Alpha Wellness patients receive preferred pricing on all in-house wellness services, including IV therapy and our Ojas Nutraceuticals supplement line.

Your Health Insurance

Does Alpha Wellness accept insurance?

Yes, we accept insurance for all covered primary care services, including your annual physical, office visits, telemed appointments, prescriptions, vaccines, and lab work. We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare. For questions about your specific plan, please contact us.

Do I still need to maintain health insurance as an Alpha Wellness patient?

Yes. Our wellness plan complements but doesn’t replace traditional health insurance, which continues to cover you for office visits, primary care services, and other acute needs at our clinic. We also recommend maintaining appropriate coverage for specialist, urgent, and emergency care needs (although we work hard to keep our patients as far away from the hospital as possible!).

What if I don’t have insurance?

For Alpha Wellness patients without insurance, we offer reduced out-of-pocket visit fees to make care more accessible. Additionally, testing and treatment options normally billed to insurance will be out-of-pocket costs for you, which we strive to make as clear and transparent as possible before you consent to treatment.

Care Experience & Services

How often will I see Dr. Singh?

Your care frequency is personalized to your needs. All Alpha Wellness patients receive the annual Wellness Deep Dive, and Dr. Singh will be happy to see you for your insurance-based physical as well. Beyond that, some patients visit monthly while others primarily keep Dr. Singh available for when they need him. The choice is yours (with Dr. Singh’s input, of course, based on your unique health needs).

What diagnostic testing is available?

We offer both traditional and advanced testing options through our partner labs. Beyond standard blood work and acute care testing (strep, COVID, etc.), we provide specialized functional tests including GI Map, food inflammation testing, hormonal analysis (DUTCH+), genetic testing, and cardiovascular screening (CIMT, Boston Heart, and VO2 max).

How do you handle urgent needs and emergencies?

Every Alpha Wellness patient has direct access to Dr. Singh through his personal cell phone for urgent concerns. While we ask that you use this privilege respectfully, you’ll never be without support when you truly need it.

Do you offer virtual visits?

Yes. We’re happy to provide telemedicine appointments whenever they’re appropriate and convenient for your care.
