How to Become a Patient of Flourish Health


Many patients seek out Dr. Luetmer because they have bounced around from provider to provider only to receive "band-aid solutions" and have finally resolved to identify 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 a healthy lifestyle and understand how functional medicine complements the goal to remain as healthy as possible and avoid chronic diseases to the extent possible. 
The research required and mutual commitment to a plan lends itself to a model the fosters an ongoing patient/physician relationship. We built Flourish specifically for that reason and we offer membership plans to address the ongoing needs of individuals and couples. 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. The approach outlined below applies to most individuals and couples who want to become a patient. 

The Flourish Approach

THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A PATIENT OF THE CLINIC
Since starting Flourish in July 2019, we have continually fine-tuned the new patient onboarding process with the goal of achieving the best possible results while containing costs. There are two phases to becoming a patient of Flourish Health. The first phase is a 6-week onboarding process that has a set number of visits with support between visits. By having a structured onboarding period, you and Dr. Luetmer will have sufficient time to "dig in" to your health history and formulate a health plan going forward. At the conclusion of phase one, If you feel you have made good progress and want to continue working with Dr. Luetmer, you may either join the practice as a member patient or choose to see Dr. Luetmer at her hourly rate as needed. 


TAKE YOUR READINESS ASSESSMENT HERE
Phase 1:
The Initial Assessment on Onboarding

This phase lasts 6 weeks beginning with the first phone appointment upon completion of your Case Review. The fee for Phase 1 is $950 for an individual or $1,600 for a couple. Appointment times for couples are lengthened from what is listed below. 
​
  • The Readiness Assessment and Case Review: ​You will start by taking a short readiness assessment. If you have not already completed this, the link is above. The readiness assessment is designed to measure your readiness to make lifestyle changes that may be necessary to achieve your health goals. This will be followed by completing a comprehensive medical history and self-assessment, which we refer to as the case review. The case review will likely be much more thorough and unlike those you may have completed in the past and is designed to dig below the surface so you can work with Dr. Luetmer to identify the root cause of your health issues. 
  • Administrative onboarding and Access to the Member Portal: Once you complete the case review, we will take care of the administrative tasks of signing consent forms and providing you with access to the Flourish Member Portal.  Dr. Luetmer will review your case prior to your initial phone appointment to confirm that she believes there is a fit between your needs and her qualifications and the nature of her practice. If she does not think that she can be of help, we will let you know and you will have no financial obligation for her time spent on your case review and any payment made to that point will be refunded. 
  • 6-Week Onboarding: Below is the general timeline for Phase 1, which can vary slightly depending on which labs you might have drawn and the length of time it takes to receive results from some of the specialty lab companies. We have designed the onboarding to include both scheduled appointments shown below as well as access to our health coach and Dr. Luetmer between visits to allow for ongoing communication through the portal. 
  • Week 1:
    • Obtain additional health history and/or complete additional assessments 
    • 30-minute phone or zoom call with Stacey
      • Hone in on symptoms and health history
      • Determine whether additional assessments, questionnaires, and/or labs will be beneficial.
  • Week 2-3:
    • ​Lab draw 
    • Watch assigned educational content from member site
  • Week 3:
    • ​30-minute health coach zoom session 
  • Week 4-5:
    • ​​60-minute in-depth appointment with Dr. Luetmer
  • ​​Week 6:
    • ​60-minute health coach zoom session 


Phase 2: Annual Membership or Hourly Patient: The journey to sustainable good health is a process that requires ongoing effort and commitment. The Flourish Membership is designed to provide the ongoing support, educational resources, and networking with other members to increase your odds of long-term success. 
  • At the conclusion of Phase 1, you will receive a recommendation for the appropriate membership level (see options below) based on Dr. Luetmer's assessment of your treatment plan progress and support ticket activity. 
  • You are not obligated to have an annual membership with Flourish Health in order to continue working with Dr. Luetmer. Some patients opt to forego member benefits and see Dr. Luetmer as needed at her hourly rate. ​​

Additional Membership Details

What are Member Credits?  

Membership credits primarily translate to consulting time you can “spend” as part of your membership and provide you with the flexibility to connect with Dr. Luetmer and our health coaches, using the avenue that works best for you.  For example, some people prefer using most of their time for in-person appointments; whereas others like to spend more of their credits toward online support to ask ongoing questions of Stacey or our health coaches.  1 credit equals 1 hour of consulting time with Dr. Luetmer, whereas 1 credit equals 2 hours of consulting time with a health coach.  

How do I Maximize my ​Credits?

There are a number of member benefits that do not reduce your credit balance; from member group events to live Q&A educational seminars. In addition, participating in group clinic visits to discuss health issues and strategies common to the group will only deduct a fraction of a credit. For example, group visits that generally last between 60-90 minutes only “cost” .25 (¼) of a credit. A unique aspect of Dr. Luetmer's practice is the 200+ hours of video education she has produced that is available to members only. This education is designed to elevate a member's understanding of their health issues. Stacey "prescribes" specific videos to patients so members can maximize their appointment time since Stacey is not wasting time "covering the basics" that are addressed in the video education.​
