Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
No. We do not accept or bill insurance. Our practice operates on a membership model. All fees, including membership fees and any additional services, are paid before or at the time of service. We do not provide superbills or submit claims to insurance or Medicare.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Memberships can be paid monthly or annually, with a discount available for annual payment.
Why don't you accept insurance?
We do not contract with insurance because insurance often limits the time, access, and type of care we can provide. This allows us to focus on personalized lifestyle and functional medicine care built around your goals, priorities, and long-term health.
Routine labs and special labs are ordered with clear, upfront pricing. We do not profit from laboratory testing, and our goal is to make labs as affordable and transparent as possible.
Who is a typical Med Fit Culture patient?
Med Fit Culture is for people who want to take an active role in their health and are looking for deeper support with weight, energy, performance, metabolic health, or chronic health concerns alongside their regular medical care. We use a personalized, lifestyle-first approach and, when needed, coordinate with your existing providers.
The goal is not perfection. We focus on real, sustainable growth.
What does care involve?
Care focuses on lifestyle interventions, including nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, recovery, and relationships. These recommendations are tailored to your goals. We may also recommend supplements or prescription medications when appropriate.
Our approach blends conventional medicine, lifestyle medicine, and functional medicine. Care is guided by what is safe, evidence-informed, effective, and aligned with your preferences. A strong patient-practitioner relationship is central to the process, and we prioritize time to build that trust.
Are you my primary physician?
No. Dr. Jerald Cook provides lifestyle and functional medicine consultations only and does not serve as your primary care physician. You are required to maintain a primary care provider for routine physicals, preventive care, urgent concerns, and after-hours care.
Med Fit Culture does not provide urgent or emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
