Frequently asked questions

No. TrendyMD Precision Medicine is a self-pay, membership-based practice. We do not submit claims to insurance or Medicare, and we do not provide superbills for reimbursement.

If you have Medicare, please contact us before applying. Medicare rules can affect how a self-pay practice may provide services, so we review these questions individually.

Programs provide physician-led care focused on precision, preventive, and functional medicine. This includes medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment when clinically appropriate, along with review of relevant lab results, lifestyle and prevention planning, and care coordination. TrendyMD Precision Medicine complements, rather than replaces, primary care.

Programs do not include urgent or emergency care, laboratory testing, imaging, or insurance-billed medical visits. TrendyMD Precision Medicine does not provide lab testing; patients obtain tests through outside laboratories or other providers, and those services are arranged and paid for separately.

Enrollment begins with a brief application. We aim to respond to new patient applications within 3–5 business days, and applying does not guarantee acceptance. Most new patients begin with our 8-Week Precision Reset, a standalone program. Continuing into ongoing membership afterward is optional and subject to eligibility. Returning patients with an established clinical history may qualify for an individualized exception.

Yes. TrendyMD Precision Medicine is currently accepting new patient applications. Availability is limited, and applications are reviewed individually to ensure quality, continuity, and appropriate physician availability.

No. TrendyMD Precision Medicine is designed to complement primary care, not replace it. Patients are expected to maintain a relationship with a primary care physician for routine, acute, and insurance-covered medical care.

A self-pay model allows for longer visits, deeper analysis, continuity, and thoughtful planning without insurance-driven constraints. This structure supports a personalized, longitudinal approach to health rather than episodic care.

For established patients’ nonurgent messages, we aim to respond the same business day whenever possible. Please allow 1–2 business days for a response. Messaging is not for urgent or emergency concerns.

Membership is a 12-month commitment, paid in full at the start of the term, rather than billed per visit or per service. Full membership terms, including renewal and cancellation, are provided in writing before enrollment.

Some patients choose to use HSA or FSA funds for self-pay services. Eligibility is determined by your plan administrator, and we recommend confirming directly with them.

TrendyMD Precision Medicine provides physician-led evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment when clinically appropriate within the scope of its programs. Care outside that scope, including urgent, emergency, and routine primary care, is coordinated with your primary care physician or appropriate specialists. TrendyMD Precision Medicine complements primary care but does not replace it.

Established patients are encouraged to use the CharmHealth patient portal for nonurgent clinical questions. For general administrative inquiries, email info@trendymd.com.
