FeldMed - Frequently Asked Questions
No. FeldMed is a direct-care practice. Membership fees are not eligible for insurance reimbursement. HSA and FSA eligibility varies by plan; patients are encouraged to check with their plan administrator. Certain individual services and prescriptions may be billed through insurance separately where applicable.
Yes. Tier changes are made at the annual renewal point or, when clinical needs dictate, mid-year on a prorated basis.
FeldMed maintains a deliberately limited panel. Availability is confirmed at the introductory consultation.
Membership is annual. Payment may be made in full at enrollment or monthly across the year; annual prepayment is available at a preferred rate. There is no multi-year commitment requirement.
Yes. Family and spouse enrollment is available at preferred pricing. Details are reviewed during the introductory consultation.
FeldMed is built for people who take their health seriously before it forces the issue — high-functioning adults, typically in their 40s through 60s, who want a clear picture of their real risk rather than a clean bill of health based on average lab ranges. If you're the kind of person who wants to understand why, not just be told you're "fine," you're a good fit.
Generally, your first visit is a comprehensive review of where you actually stand — your history, your goals, and the gap between how you feel and what's measurable. If there’s a more acute situation, that may be short-cutted to get some immediate results.
No. Most of what determines how you age — cardiovascular risk, cognitive trajectory, metabolic drift — develops silently, long before symptoms appear. FeldMed is designed to identify the gap between your current state and the optimal, not wait for it to become a diagnosis.
Traditional primary care is built around responding once something goes wrong. FeldMed is a direct-care, membership-based practice built around continuity, time, and early identification — not insurance-driven volume. Prevention is primary, management is only an option when the problem can’t be solved.
FeldMed is Dr. Feldman's own clinical practice. Its grounded in a personalized approach to an individual’s health status, lifestyle, goals and preferences. Our cardiovascular assessment includes the Multifunction Cardiogram (MCG), an FDA-cleared diagnostic not commonly offered by longevity practices. We focus on maintaining overall function, but also pay special attention to cognitive protection.
Testing is individualized to your risk profile and goals rather than a fixed panel. FeldMed has been testing metrics for over a decade that are just now coming into recommendations. Be confident that testing will be state of the art.
FeldMed evaluates biological age through the lens of the Hallmarks of Aging framework — looking at the underlying mechanisms of aging rather than chronological years alone. TruDiagnostic tests provides the bulk of these measures, as they have the strongest published validation.
Depending on patient need, visits may range from monthly to quarterly, with interim contacts as necessary via text or phone. Follow-up frequency is set individually based on your risk profile and protocol, not a fixed schedule.
FeldMed's membership is structured across three tiers — Cardiac Precision, Comprehensive Longevity, and Executive Protocol — each reflecting a different scope of care. Each tier includes testing specific to those programs. Medications and supplements are not included, unless specifically contracted.
Yes. FeldMed is designed to work alongside your existing physicians — sharing findings and coordinating on shared patients where clinically appropriate.
Feeling well and being at low risk are not the same thing. Normal labs can coexist with real, measurable risk — that's the gap FeldMed is built to close, before it becomes a diagnosis. Without understanding your underlying risks, future disease states may be festering in hiding.
Time, continuity, and depth. A membership-based, no-insurance model means care isn't compressed into a 12-minute visit — and diagnostics like the MCG go further than a standard annual physical in evaluating cardiovascular risk specifically.
Yes. Your plan is built around your own data and goals — the six pillars of Longevity, Cardiovascular Prevention, Cognitive Protection, Optimal Performance, Weight Management, and Hormone Optimization are the framework; what's applied to you is individualized.
That's the core premise of the practice. FeldMed is built around identifying risk while it's still modifiable — not waiting for a problem to become a diagnosis.
