Our Membership Program gives you full control over your health. Unlike conventional medicine providers, we don’t take your concerns lightly, tell you we can’t help, or write you a prescription without hearing your full story. We don’t triple-book appointments, leaving you sitting in the waiting room for an hour (who has time for that?). Jennifer Paulson worked in conventional medicine for five years before opening her own practice, so she understands the frustrations and challenges that it presents to patients.
At our initial intake, Jennifer learns about you - your health, your history, your lifestyle. She asks the important questions.
Jennifer takes healing seriously, and she wants to give you the best whole-body health plan for your specific life circumstances.
Jennifer devises a custom health plan for you, educating you every step of the way on the whats, whys, and hows. Why is she recommending this test? What does that number mean? She wants you to ask questions, so you understand completely and have agency over your health and well-being.
A full 90-minute intake session where we listen, learn, and strategize about your health.
We complete your labs and review them with you. Then, we devise a functional medicine plan, which includes personalized plans to help with your nutrition, exercise, and stress relief.
we use your individual results to help customize your wellness plan
including special discounts, early access to retreats, exclusive invitations to members-only wellness events, and more.
**Please note: Jennifer is near her full capacity of patients. She will be accepting a limited number of new client applications. If you are interested please apply.
Throw all of your fears and anxieties about coming to the doctor out the window. We’re your partners in health, not just an “expert” who tells you what to do.
We value providing holistic care which requires longer visit times and additional work outside of office visits. The monthly membership fee covers these essentials that are not reimbursed by insurance companies.
Jennifer accepts a very limited amount of new patients so there is a screening process where you will answer some questions and communicate with Jennifer via phone or e-mail to ensure Jennifer’s services will fit your needs.
We have found that to provide the highest level of service, a client membership program is necessary. Currently nearing patient capacity limits, we are sensitive to the level of service delivered. With the membership plan, we commit to providing the best care to members, including last minute appointments.
Membership is ideal for patients dedicated to working closely with Jennifer seeking assured care and timely appointments. When patient capacity is reached and Jennifer restricts her practice to new or non-member patients, you won’t have to worry about a lengthy wait to make an appointment.
For a list of benefits, head to our Membership Program page. One of the benefits that our patients most value is that they have access to longer appointment times, so we can really delve into their issues without the time limits of conventional medicine office visits.
No, this is a cash pay service not covered by insurance. Some insurance companies will allow you to use your FSA or HSA card to pay for your monthly fee. You should consult directly with your insurance for detailed coverage options.
Much preparation time and effort goes into your visit outside of the actual appointment. This includes portal messaging, refilling prescriptions, referrals, etc. This all to ensure a thorough wellness plan for you.
If we are “in network/contracted with” your insurance plan, our office will verify benefits coverage prior to your visit. Per our billing guidelines, we will do the following:
• Collect your “patient responsibility” at the time of service. This includes co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance and past due account balances.
• Submit a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement.
If you have an insurance plan we are not contracted with, we require an “at the time of service” payment. You will receive a discounted office visit charge with a receipt to submit to your insurance.
From our website membership page, click “Enroll membership” link. This takes you to a new site called Hint Health. Hint Health is the nation’s leader in managing secure online membership programs. You will enter your payment info and complete the registration process.
Upon membership enrollment, you will enter your credit or debit card information. Monthly billing on this card will occur the 15th or 25th depending on enrollment date. If a debit card, two very small deposits will transact into your account. As a security measure, you will need to portal message our office the transaction amounts so we can verify your account and activate your membership.
Jennifer offers “telemed” visits. Using an online meeting room, you can log-in to see each other via your computer cameras/screens. If you do not have access to a computer, the consult can be done via the phone. Oregon law and our office policy require an annual face-to-face visit in the office but the remainder of visits can be done via telemed.
Jennifer has agreed to provide primary care services to her members only if allowed by your insurance company . She will coordinate referrals to specialists as needed.
Please send a portal message to Jennifer indicating your medical concerns and urgency. Jennifer reserves appointment times for her members and will do her best to see you as these types of needs arise. Exceptions to this would be when Jennifer is out of the office.
Our membership agreement requires a 45 day notice to cancel your membership. This request must come in writing via portal message or email: office@jenniferpaulsonnp.com
