Zen Medical Clinic | Stuart, Florida
At Zen Medical Clinic, we believe high-quality healthcare should be accessible, transparent, and centered on the patient—not insurance requirements.
We operate using a membership-based, cash-pay medical model that allows our providers to spend more time with you, offer unrushed appointments, and deliver thoughtful, whole-person care without the limitations of traditional insurance billing.
This model works well for patients with insurance and those without insurance—and many of our patients fall into both categories.
Do You Accept Insurance at Zen Medical Clinic?
Zen Medical Clinic does not bill insurance for office visits or memberships.
This allows us to:
-
Offer longer, unhurried appointments
-
Focus on relationship-based, personalized care
-
Provide clear, predictable pricing
-
Avoid surprise bills or denied claims
Important clarification:
While we do not bill insurance for visits, your insurance may still be used for many services outside of our clinic, including:
-
Laboratory testing
-
Imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, etc.)
-
Specialty referrals
-
Certain medications
Our team helps guide you through these options so you can make informed, cost-conscious decisions.
Care Designed for People With or Without Insurance
Our model is intentionally designed to support:
-
Patients without insurance
-
Patients with high-deductible plans
-
Self-employed individuals
-
Small business employees
-
Patients who want predictable healthcare costs
You do not need insurance to have a doctor—and having insurance does not prevent you from benefiting from our care model.
Can I Use My HSA or FSA?
Yes. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can often be used to pay for eligible medical services at Zen Medical Clinic, including:
-
Primary care visits
-
Integrative and functional medicine consultations
-
Hormone evaluations and testing
-
Laboratory services
-
Certain treatments and therapies
Using an HSA allows you to pay for qualified healthcare expenses with pre-tax dollars, which many patients find helpful and cost-effective.
(We recommend confirming eligibility with your HSA/FSA administrator.)
Medicare Information
Our providers are opted out of Medicare. This means:
-
Medicare cannot be billed for office visits or memberships
-
Medicare will not cover laboratory services or imaging or any other service prescribed.
If you have Medicare and questions about coverage, our team is happy to discuss your options.
Laboratory Testing: Insurance vs. Flat-Rate Option
Zen Medical Clinic offers advanced laboratory testing that often goes beyond standard panels, including evaluation of:
-
Inflammation markers
-
Hormonal balance
-
Nutrient levels
-
Metabolic health
Insurance-Billed Labs
Some insurance plans cover standard labs, but coverage may be incomplete or unpredictable—often resulting in significant out-of-pocket costs.
Flat-Rate Private Lab Option
To provide clarity and affordability, we offer a comprehensive flat-rate lab package for $650-$750, which includes:
-
Extensive testing
-
Home or in-office blood draw options
Given that insurance-billed labs can sometimes result in bills exceeding $2,000–$6,000, many patients choose this flat-rate option for its transparency and value.
Medications & Prescriptions
Coverage for medications, supplements, or therapies varies by insurance plan.
Our providers will:
-
Prescribe treatments thoughtfully
-
Help identify medications that are more likely to be covered
-
Discuss cost-effective alternatives when appropriate
We recommend confirming medication coverage directly with your insurance provider when applicable.

1. Afterpay (0% Interest Financing)

3. Cash, Check, or Money Order
