Membership and Pricing
What services are included in the annual membership?
The annual membership includes comprehensive lab work, personalized consultations with Dr. Reddy, and tailored healthcare plans based on medical and family history. Dr. Reddy personally analyzes diagnostic tests and preventive screenings, offering actionable recommendations to optimize your health.
While we bill insurance for any outside services, preventive and longevity medicine is a newer field, and some tests may not be covered. In these cases, Elevated Medical provides special rates whenever available.
Unlike many primary care physicians who follow traditional guidelines and may hesitate to recommend these tests, Dr. Reddy is highly trained in preventive and longevity medicine. He not only recommends advanced diagnostics but also provides expert analysis and ongoing support to ensure the best outcomes for your health.
What does the membership cost?
The annual membership fee covers a holistic, integrated approach to your health, combining medical care, fitness, and nutrition under one program. Dr. Reddy believes these elements should work together, as changes in one area can impact the others. It includes access to all diagnostic testing, regular consultations, and personalized treatment plans. For detailed pricing, please contact the clinic directly.
Are there any hidden fees beyond the membership?
No, the annual membership covers all core services. Any additional fees for external services or specialized treatments will be discussed upfront with the patient.
Is insurance accepted or reimbursed for your services?
Elevated Medical operates on an annual membership model, which is not covered by insurance. However, we strive to bill insurance for any external testing or labs recommended by Dr. Reddy when possible. Since preventive and longevity medicine is a newer field, coverage for these services is not guaranteed, but patients are welcome to verify potential reimbursement with their insurance provider. In cases where tests are not covered, Elevated Medical offers special rates when available.
Can I pay for individual services without a membership?
Elevated Medical typically operates on an annual membership model, which ensures you receive comprehensive, continuous care throughout the year. This approach is designed to provide a holistic and personalized healthcare experience.
Services and Treatments
What conditions do you specialize in treating?
Elevated Medical specializes in preventive healthcare, focusing on conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic health disorders. The clinic also addresses general health optimization for longevity and quality of life.
What is a full-body MRI, and how does it benefit my health?
A full-body MRI is a non-invasive scan that provides detailed images of your body’s internal structures. It can detect abnormalities such as tumors, cardiovascular issues, or inflammation at an early stage, allowing for timely treatment and lifestyle adjustments. However, this scan is not recommended for everyone. At Elevated Medical, we take a personalized approach, and a full-body MRI is only suggested for patients who Dr. Reddy determines will benefit from it. We carefully evaluate each recommendation to ensure that the potential benefits outweigh the risks, tailoring care to your specific health needs and goals.
How does genetic testing work, and why is it important?
Genetic testing analyzes your DNA to assess potential risks for hereditary conditions. A simple saliva or blood sample is used for analysis. Understanding your genetic predisposition allows Elevated Medical to customize your healthcare plan, targeting potential health risks before they manifest into serious conditions.
Do you provide pediatric care?
Elevated Medical focuses on adult care and does not offer pediatric services. However, for families seeking concierge care for children, we partner with local pediatric concierge practices to help with urgent healthcare needs, complementing our primary care and longevity services.

How do you address cardiovascular health concerns?
Elevated Medical uses advanced diagnostics, such as cardiovascular MRIs and genetic testing, to assess heart health. We also monitor blood markers related to heart disease risk and create personalized health plans focusing on diet, lifestyle changes, and preventive treatments.
Can I get cancer screening through your services?

The key changes we make for long-term health also bring these immediate benefits.
