Why We Don't Accept Insurance — A Real Talk About Healthcare
Your Health Should Be Managed By You and Your Provider — But It’s Not
In a perfect world, your healthcare decisions would be made based on what’s best for you — guided by science, your symptoms, and what your body actually needs.
But that’s not how the system works.
Right now,
insurance companies are the real decision-makers.
They decide what gets approved, what gets denied, and what you have to “try and fail” before you’re allowed to access what actually works.
Your doctor can write the prescription...
But insurance can (and often does) say: “Nope. Not yet.”
And I know you’ve probably felt that firsthand. That frustration, that delay, that helplessness. We’ve all been there.
GLP-1 Medications Are a Perfect Example
We’ve seen how medications like Ozempic and Wegovy (GLP-1s) have helped millions of people successfully manage obesity, reduce diabetes risk, and even support heart health.
But insurance doesn’t just let you get them.
To even qualify for coverage, you often have to:
- Start with Metformin once a day
- Then bump up to twice a day
- Stick with that for 6 to 12 months
- Then maybe, just maybe, you’ll get approved
That’s assuming your provider is even trained or comfortable managing these meds. Truth is, many aren’t. That’s not their fault — the system just hasn’t prepared them.
This Isn’t Healthcare. This Is Delayed, Reactive, Frustrating Care.
And honestly? It keeps people stuck.
- Stuck waiting
- Stuck getting sicker
- Stuck feeling like they’re the problem
It pushes you toward band-aid solutions instead of sustainable, root-cause care.
Why? Because the system profits from repeat visits, prescriptions, and ongoing issues — not from your long-term wellness.
Let’s be real: It’s not designed to keep you healthy. It’s designed to keep you in it.
So Why Don’t We Take Insurance?
Because we’re choosing a different path.
One that puts you at the center — not your insurance provider.
We want to offer care that’s:
- Proactive
- Preventative
- Personalized
- Rooted in your real health goals
No red tape. No waiting games. No “try and fail” hoops to jump through.
Just direct access to treatments, conversations, and strategies that are actually in your best interest — not your insurer’s.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re stuck in the system... You’re not alone.
And you’re not lazy, broken, or crazy for being frustrated.
We see you. We hear you. And that’s why we do things differently.
No insurance. No nonsense. Just real care.
