Flourish Health is primarily a membership practice. Many patients seek me out because they have been bounced around from specialist to specialist and have finally resolved to find and address the root cause of their health challenges. Other patients come to Flourish because they are generally healthy and want to maintain and build on a healthy lifestyle and understand how functional medicine complements the goal to remain as healthy as possible and avoid chronic diseases before they start. The research required and mutual commitment to a plan lends itself to an annual membership model where the patient/physician relationship is ongoing. Flourish offers membership plans to fit Individuals, Couples, and Families.
Membership has its Privileges
Base MembershipBase membership benefits are included as part of all Full Membership Plans (Bronze, Silver, Gold, & Platinum). Base membership is also available as an add-on benefit ($45/month) for patients seeing Dr. Luetmer at her hourly consulting rate. At Flourish, we spend a great deal of time and energy negotiating the best price on health services and products on behalf of our members and those savings are passed on to you. Members enjoy perks such as discounted pricing on labs and other clinical services and wholesale prices on supplements. Members also receive access to Dr. Luetmer’s online education courses, group meetings, discounted lab draw days, and other benefits.

Full Membership
In addition to the benefits of the base membership, patients with full membership also have access to Dr. Luetmer and coach Tristyn throughout the year via in-person visits as well as telephone and Zoom (virtual) visits. Members also have access to a patient portal through which they can securely communicate their health questions and retain a log of all their communication with Dr. Luetmer for future reference. To hear what this access means to current patients, click here for testimonials.
The degree of access is determined by the level of membership you choose. Patients generally choose their membership plan shortly after their initial visit. Regardless of whether you choose a membership as an individual, couple, or family, you are investing in some combination of time and access to partner with a physician and coach who will help you and/or your family achieve their best possible health. |
The Initial Comprehensive Consultation
Every membership begins with an investment of time from both Dr. Luetmer and you in the form of a 90-minute comprehensive consultation which is designed to go well beyond "the basics" and provides a baseline from which you can make lasting health changes. While this initial consultation is a prerequisite to membership, moving forward with this consultation does not bind you to becoming a member. Following the consultation, you have the option to become a member, consult with Dr. Luetmer at her hourly rate, or move forward on your own. Proceeding with this initial consultation includes the following steps:
1. You will start by completing a comprehensive online medical history and self-assessment. This assessment will likely be much more thorough and unlike those you may have experienced in the past and are designed to dig below the surface so you can work with Dr. Luetmer to identify the root cause of your health issues.
2. Dr. Luetmer will spend between 45 and 60 minutes prior to your initial appointment reviewing your questionnaires and outlining an initial health strategy for you.
3. The review of your assessment forms is followed by a 90-minute face-to-face appointment during which you will work with Dr. Luetmer to begin the process of identifying the root cause of the health challenge(s) you face and making a plan to achieve your best possible health.
4. Within a day or two after your 90-minute appointment, you will receive a comprehensive written summary of your visit and initial go-forward plan.
5. You will then have a follow-up appointment to review your plan, discuss additional labs or other tests that may have been ordered, and ensure you are on a path on which you can succeed.
Many patients describe this initial consultation as a pivotal event in their health that they have never experienced before. Patients often tell us they have never worked this closely with an MD who has taken the time for this kind of focused and comprehensive examination of their entire medical history, and worked with them to finally get to the root cause of what is going on.
The fee for this initial consultation is $625 for an individual and $875 for a couple. Couple consultations generally last between 2 to 2 ½ hours. (Time spent individually as well as together)
Flourish also serves many families who may have one or more members facing health challenges that require “digging in” as well as other families who are generally quite healthy. Given the variables of family size and needs, the fee for an initial family consultation is determined after speaking with Dr. Luetmer to set up an appointment of the appropriate length. Dr. Luetmer can serve the health needs of an entire family, performing well-child physicals, sports physical, etc. as well as the more complex health needs that might be going on with some family members. Dr. Luetmer can also serve as the family’s primary care physician.

Picking a Membership Plan
The needs of the individual, couple, or family beyond the initial visit determine the level of membership required. Support beyond the initial consultation includes a combination of in-person visits, virtual visits, group visits, and email/phone communication. Feedback from our members supports the approach that consistent touchpoints throughout the year lead to continual improvement of an individual’s condition or a family’s overall health and well-being.

Additional Membership Details
What is the Time Bank and how is it calculated?The time bank is split evenly between Dr. Luetmer and our health coach Tristyn Bigaouette, RN. You can use the time in your bank in various ways, including for appointments and online support. It is also used for time spent specifically on your case: researching, ordering and interpreting labs, medication management, managing referrals, advocating with insurance companies, etc. A disproportionate amount of time is spent on your case during your first few weeks as a patient and level off after a couple of months.
