# Our Services & Programs At Emerge Weight & Hormone Specialists, care isn't one-size-fits-all. We built our practice around a simple idea: when you have real access to your provider, real time in your appointments, and a plan built around *your* biology, lasting change becomes possible. We're a hybrid practice — every patient carries an Emerge membership, and we also bill insurance and are contracted with all major plans, so you get dedicated access *and* the coverage you're already paying for. Below is an overview of our specialty areas and the programs and services available to every Emerge patient. --- ## Our Specialty Areas ### Weight & Metabolic Health Sustainable weight loss starts with understanding what's actually driving your metabolism — not a generic calorie chart. Our providers use GLP-1 therapy and individualized medical management, paired with regular body composition tracking, to build a plan that adapts as your body changes. ### Hormone Optimization Fatigue, brain fog, low libido, and stubborn weight gain are often hormone problems, not willpower problems. We evaluate and treat hormonal imbalances with a personalized approach designed to restore energy, mood, and metabolic function. ### Behavioral Health Lasting change is as much about mindset and habits as it is about medication. Our behavioral health support is woven into your care plan, helping you build sustainable routines around nutrition, movement, and stress management. ### Preventative Primary Care Every Emerge Plus member has access to full primary care — delivered through the same specialty-first, preventative lens that defines everything we do. This isn't a bolt-on convenience service; it's primary care built by a team that already knows your metabolic and hormonal picture in depth, so your everyday health needs are managed with the same individualized attention as your specialty care. *(See "A Different Kind of Primary Care" below.)* --- ## What's Included in Every Program No matter which path brings you to Emerge, you can count on: - **Direct access to your provider** — real relationships, not a call center - **No-rush appointments** — time to actually talk through what's going on - **Online scheduling** — book on your schedule, not ours - **Virtual visit access** — care that fits into your life - **Monthly InBody body composition scans** — objective, trackable progress - **Individualized medical management** — plans built around your labs, your history, and your goals --- ## A Different Kind of Primary Care You may be used to thinking of "primary care" and "specialty care" as two separate things — a family doctor for your annual physical, and a specialist for everything else. At Emerge, we've closed that gap. For our members, primary care *is* specialty care. Rather than treating your weight, hormones, energy, and everyday health as separate problems seen by separate providers, our team manages it all together — with a preventative, whole-person philosophy at the center. That means: - Your primary care provider already understands your metabolic and hormonal health, so nothing gets lost between visits - Preventative screenings and everyday care decisions are made with your specialty treatment plan in mind, not in isolation from it - One care team, one chart, one plan — coordinated instead of fragmented It's not a smaller version of primary care. It's primary care done the way we believe it should be done: proactive, connected, and personalized. --- ## Additional Services - **Monthly B12 injections** — support for energy and metabolism - **Emsella treatment** — non-invasive support for pelvic floor health - **10% member discount** on in-clinic supplement purchases *Availability of specific services varies by membership level. [See our membership options →]* --- ## Membership + Insurance: How Care Works at Emerge Emerge operates on a hybrid model — membership *and* insurance, working together, not one instead of the other. - **Membership is required** to become and remain an Emerge patient. It's what makes direct provider access, no-rush visits, and a truly individualized plan possible for every person we see. - **We also bill insurance** for covered services, and we're contracted with all major insurance plans. Your membership and your insurance work side by side — membership isn't a replacement for your coverage, and it doesn't prevent us from billing your plan for the services it covers. In short: your membership is what gets you in the door and keeps your care personalized: our team still bills your insurance wherever your plan applies, so you get the best of both — dedicated access and the coverage you're already paying for. We offer three membership levels so you can choose the depth of support that fits where you are in your health journey. **[Explore Membership Levels →]** ### Common Questions **Do I still need insurance if I have a membership?** Yes. Your membership and your insurance cover different things. Membership is what grants you access to our practice — direct provider access, no-rush visits, and individualized care — while insurance is billed for the covered medical services you receive along the way. You'll want to keep both active. **Do I still pay for membership if my insurance covers everything?** Yes. Membership isn't billed to insurance and isn't something insurance replaces — it's a separate, required part of being an Emerge patient, regardless of what your plan covers. Think of it as the foundation that makes our care model possible, with insurance layered on top for covered services. **What if I don't have insurance?** You can still become an Emerge patient with an active membership. Reach out to our care team to discuss self-pay options for services that would otherwise be billed to insurance. **Are you in-network with my insurance?** We're contracted with all major insurance plans.
