Basic Wellness Plan: Economical Preventive Care is between $1,000 and $1,500/year

Why a Basic Wellness Plan could be the best health investment you make this year. Health care expenses are unpredictable an unexpected specialist office visit, a single urgent-care visit or a lab panel adds up quick. And a Basic Wellness Plan evens out that bumpy road. For about a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars a year, you receive a defined package of preventive services, provider time and care coordination that would otherwise cost individuals that much or more, if bought stand-alone.

This plan is not “health insurance.” Think of it as a time (and hassle) buying membership: longer visits, proactive screening, and someone who knows your history and watches for red flags. That’s what helps prevent small issues from turning into big problems for many healthy adults.

What you get with the Basic Plan (simple, fundamental elements)

CAP Physical visit with your clinician that goes over history, medications, vaccines, sleep, mental health screen and preventive screening schedule. This is not better than a typical rushed 10–15 min visit.

Min (standard) lab panel (usually a CBC, CMP or BMP, fasting lipid profile, and vitamin D) or thyroid if clinically indicated. Single labs generally range from $30–$200 (could be tests, location); as part of a package this makes costs more predictable.

  • Basic screens blood pressure: Height/weight/BMI, basic cancer-screening guidance by age (mammogram/colonoscopy reminders) and age-appropriate preventive counseling.
  • Telehealth: Access email/phone or video for short questions or advice (to avoid unnecessary ER or urgent-care visits).
  • Care coordination: if you need to go to a specialist, we make the referral and send your records; time for care coordination is in the membership.

Basic Plan: Your Preventive Care Starter Pack

  • Secure patient portal: MyChart (Epic) robust patient portal used by many health systems.
  • Telehealth (1–2 visits) Doxy.me browser-based, HIPAA-capable telehealth for quick video visits.
  • Appointment booking & reminders Calendly (Enterprise HIPAA option) — easy booking plus appointment reminders (use HIPAA-enterprise or integrated EHR scheduler). (Check enterprise contract for HIPAA.)
  • Lab orders & results delivery Labcorp Patient Portal (Labcorp Link) — patients view and download lab results.
  • Subscription billing dashboard Chargebee subscription billing and invoicing (good for membership flows). (If you need HIPAA-level payment handling, follow PCI/HIPAA best practices.)

A note on cost why this is a good deal at $1,000–$1,500

Let’s translate the price into terms of everyday life: One in-office physical usually costs $100 to $400 out of pocket (or copay). Throw in a collection of common labs another $150 to $400, if billed separately and you’re already close to the low end of Basic. Key, the membership purchases physician availability and longer visit time, which is where the true value lies: a clinician familiar with you can identify patterns and intercept costly downstream problems.

Also, many preventive services are technically covered by insurance, but membership fills in for the time and coordination that insurance will not pay for same-day scheduling, proactive follow-ups and personalized counseling. That is the convenience this plan offers.

Who should pick Basic?

  • Young, healthy adults who seek preventive care because they like the structure.
  • Those who would rather have predictable health care spending than surprise bills.
  • Who’s a good candidate for a trusted clinician to navigate screenings, immunizations and lifestyle changes.

FAQs about basic Wellness Plan

Does my insurance pay for lab expenses?

Often, yes. We generally bill labs to insurance where we are able to; the membership fee covers the doctor time and coordination.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes, you may upgrade to Professional or Enterprise if your needs change.

Is this concierge medicine?

It’s conceptually similar but with a focus on preventive care that’s priced more accessibly, as compared to high-end concierge models.
