Membership & Pricing

How much does an Amsara Health membership cost?

Membership is $1,699 per year at our launch price (regularly $1,999) when paid upfront, or three installments of $799 (regularly four). Both options include the full concierge experience. Full details are on our Pricing page.

What does a membership include?

Unhurried appointments with a provider who knows your history, a personalized plan spanning hormones, metabolism, performance, and longevity, a 20% member discount on non-insurable tests, free prescription renewals, priority booking, and direct provider messaging through the patient portal, Monday–Friday, 8–5.

Is membership annual or month-to-month?

Amsara membership is annual. You may pay for the year upfront at the $1,699 launch price (regularly $1,999), or in three installments of $799 — whichever suits you.

Can I book a visit without becoming a member?

Yes. Amsara offers individual visits alongside membership. Membership is the best value for ongoing, comprehensive care; individual visits suit focused, single-topic consultations.

Telehealth & Visits

How do telehealth visits work at Amsara?

Visits take place by secure video through our athenahealth patient portal. You book online and join from wherever you are — no waiting rooms, no commute, and your provider’s full attention.

What happens at my first visit?

Your first appointment is a thorough consultation: your history, your symptoms, and your goals, without the clock running. Your provider then orders a personalized panel of labs, and you review the results together at a follow-up visit.

Can Amsara providers prescribe medication?

Yes — our providers prescribe medications where clinically appropriate, including hormone therapies. Controlled substances follow federal and state telehealth regulations, which may require specific steps; your provider will walk you through them.

Is there a fee for prescription renewals?

Prescription renewals are free for members; the medication itself is billed separately by your pharmacy. For non-members, renewals carry a $15 fee.

Can I message my provider between visits?

Yes. Members can message a provider directly through the athenahealth patient portal, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. — with priority booking when a visit is the better answer.

What technology do I need?

A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and an internet connection. You will receive a portal invitation when you join.

Tests & Labs

Where do I get my blood drawn?

Amsara partners with SonoraQuest and Quest Diagnostics, so you can have labs drawn at a convenient location near you. Some specialty tests use simple at-home collection kits.

What advanced tests does Amsara offer?

Comprehensive hormone and metabolic panels, full thyroid evaluation, functional genomics, gut microbiome testing, and the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test — organized by goal: Hormone Health, Metabolic Health, Performance, and Longevity.

What is the Galleri® test?

Galleri® is a screening blood test that looks for a signal shared by many cancers, most of which have no routine screening today. It is an early-detection tool used alongside — never instead of — standard screenings your provider recommends.

How long do lab results take?

Standard panels typically return within days. Specialty tests such as functional genomics, gut microbiome, and Galleri® generally take two to four weeks. Your provider reviews every result with you.

Insurance, HSA & FSA

Does Amsara Health take insurance?

No. Amsara is a direct-pay concierge practice and does not accept commercial insurance. This is deliberate: it keeps your care unconstrained by insurance networks — real time with your provider, testing chosen for you, and transparent pricing.

Will my insurance still cover anything?

Possibly. While Amsara does not bill insurance, if you carry commercial insurance it may cover some prescriptions at your pharmacy and certain lab tests. Check with your plan for specifics.

Can I use HSA or FSA funds?

For individual visits, lab tests, and prescriptions, often yes. Request a superbill or itemized receipt and submit it to your HSA or FSA administrator; eligibility is determined by your plan. Membership fees are paid directly to Amsara.

What is a superbill?

A superbill is an itemized statement of your care that you may submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Superbills are available on request.

Functional Genomics vs. Traditional Genetics

What is functional genomics testing?

Functional genomics looks at how your genes actually behave — how your body metabolizes hormones and nutrients, manages inflammation, and recovers. The result is practical, actionable insight, not just raw data.

How is it different from a traditional genetic test?

A traditional genetic or ancestry test tells you which variants you carry. Functional genomics focuses on what your biology is doing about them — the levers your provider can actually use to personalize your care.

How are my results used in my care?

Your provider integrates genomic insights with your labs, history, and goals to tailor your plan: medication and dosing choices, nutrition, training and recovery, and prevention priorities.
