A BIT ABOUT US
As a type 2 diabetic and someone who has struggled with her weight, especially as she has gotten older, Ann put her experience and education to work. As a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Ann understood the importance of addressing health from a body and mind perspective. To truly achieve health, one must become balanced in both, and from that philosophy and practice, The Balanced Wellness was born!
Utilizing Evidence-Based Practices (EBP), individual client needs, and her professional experience from her many years working as a nurse and Nurse Practitioner, Ann can develop treatment plans that consider the whole person and their unique health needs.

QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND
Answers You Need
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
We are a direct patient care practice (DPC). What that means it the we do not currently accept insurance. We have found we can provide you with more tailored visits by following a direct patient care model while saving you money in the long run by offering visits that address your physical and mental health at one time.
A DPC model is also found to be beneficial for the insured, especially those who have a high deductible. In fact, the American Academy of Family Physicians (2022) noted that a Direct Patient Care model is beneficial for the uninsured and those with high deductibles (AAFP, 2022).
​
We can provide a Super Bill for those with private insurance who wish to be reimbursed or have visit and services applied to their deductible.
​
For those with private insurance who wish to have their visits applied to their deductible or submit the visit to insurance for reimbursement, a superbill will be provided at the client's request.
We accept cash and credit or debit cards. We will provide you with a superbill upon request. Please be advised that reimbursement is subject to your insurance policy.
We currently are UNABLE to see Medicare or Medicaid patients due to our Direct Care Status (cash based business). At a later point in time, we may consider adding insurances but that is not within our current business model.
DO YOU OFFER EMERGENCY CARE SERVICES?
We do not currently offer urgent or emergency care services. All clients who are or suspect they are having a medical emergency must call 911 and seek immediate treatment at their nearest emergency room.
​
We will be offering acute care visits via telehealth for common conditions such as cold, flu, allergy, sinus, urinary tract infections and other common complaints that are appropriate for outpatient treatment. Please visit the scheduling app for scheduling and availability.
WHAT IS TELEHEALTH AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
We may move to a brick and mortar at some point, but currently all visits are conducted via Telehealth Platform. These platforms are specific for health care and include HIPAA compliance software to ensure your information stays safe.
​
We utilized a couple of different platforms to try and accommodate everyone. Typically we utilize Doximity for Health. It is HIPAA compliant and user friendly. Clients will receive an email or text message containing a link which will take them to the virtual waiting room. Their visit is then initiated by Ann.
HOW DO I PAY MY BILL?
Method of Payment Accepted:
As we are only offering telehealth at the time, we accept credit or debit cards. We may add other forms of payment at a later date. Payment is received at the beginning of each visit, and all packages are routinely billed each month as per agreement.
CURRENT OFFERED SERVICES
WEIGHT LOSS COUNSELING AND MEDICATION MANAGEMENT INITIAL VISIT
Initial Visit
The initial visit will provide a comprehensive history and current medication and lab review. Labs will be ordered if you do not have current labs available (a list of required lab test will be discussed at appointment setting and confirmation). We will discuss your current health needs and health goals. We will also screen for depression and anxiety as these conditions can contribute to poor health outcomes and issues with ones weight. We will discuss and determine an appropriate individualized treatment plan based on the exam and client goals.
The intake visit covers the cost of the exam and treatment planning. If labs are needed, the client will be provided with a lab order for the required blood work.

A Happier, Healthier You
These visits may be scheduled individually or in a package. The visits provide continued assessment, treatment, support, and education about health and weight management. The client will be evaluated and medications and treatment plan adjusted as appropriate for the patient and their health goals.

As Ann is dual certified, she will also spend time working with and counseling patients on their mental health and current needs and goals. This aspect is part of what makes The Balanced Wellness, LLC different than many other health care providers.
