Frequently Asked Questions

Is your practice in-person or virtual?
We are a fully virtual practice, designed for convenience and accessibility. That means you can meet with your physician, review labs, and receive personalized care all from the comfort of your own home—no travel, waiting rooms, or wasted time. Our goal is to bring cutting-edge functional and longevity medicine directly to you, wherever you are.

Do you accept insurance?
We don’t work with insurance because insurance models are built for short, symptom-based visits—not comprehensive, root-cause medicine. Accepting insurance would limit the time, depth, and personalization we can provide. By operating outside of insurance, we can focus on advanced lab testing, precision protocols, and treatments not covered by traditional plans. This allows us to truly address your health at its core.

Can I use my insurance for labs or medications?
In some cases, yes. For standard labs, we can often order through insurance-friendly labs like Quest or LabCorp, and your insurance may cover part or all of the cost depending on your plan. For advanced functional labs—which provide deeper insights into hormones, gut health, toxins, and more—we partner with specialty labs (such as Rupa Health) that are usually not covered by insurance. For medications, some prescriptions can be sent to your local pharmacy and billed through your insurance. However, most treatments—like peptides, bioidentical hormones, or compounded medications—are not typically covered and will be an out-of-pocket cost.

How is this different from a traditional doctor’s visit?
With Qalma Health, you get unlimited time with your physician—no rushed 7-minute appointments, no insurance restrictions, and no overbooked schedules. Because we operate outside of the insurance model, we’re able to dive deep into your history, labs, and goals. This allows us to create truly personalized plans and give you the support you deserve without the typical limitations of conventional care.

Is Qalma Health physician-led?
Yes. All of our programs are physician-led, ensuring you receive expert, evidence-based care rooted in functional and longevity medicine. Unlike many wellness centers or coaching programs, you’ll be guided by a board-certified physician with advanced training in functional, anti-aging, and regenerative medicine.

Do you offer single visits or à la carte services?
No, we currently run on a program-based model, meaning new patients join a structured multi-month program designed for full evaluation, lab work, and personalized optimization. This ensures you receive the deep, foundational care needed to create lasting results. Once our first cohort completes their program, we’ll transition to offering a membership/concierge model where patients can continue with month-to-month support for ongoing care, check-ins, and advanced therapies.

Why are your programs longer in duration?
Healing and optimization take time. While traditional medicine often focuses on quick fixes, our programs are structured over several months to ensure real transformation. The body needs space to rebalance hormones, heal cellular pathways, and build sustainable habits. Longer programs allow for in-depth lab analysis, ongoing physician support, and measurable results that last.

Where are you currently accepting patients?
At this time, we are licensed and accepting patients in Florida. However, we are in the process of expanding nationwide and will soon be able to support patients across the U.S. Stay connected with us to be the first to know as new states open for care.

What types of conditions do you help with?
We specialize in hormone health, longevity, and functional medicine. Many of our patients come to us for issues such as fatigue, weight resistance, perimenopause/menopause, testosterone optimization, gut health, thyroid imbalance, and overall healthy aging.

What makes Qalma Health different?
Qalma Health is not a typical telehealth or wellness clinic. Our care is physician-led, rooted in advanced training in functional, longevity, and regenerative medicine. We focus on uncovering root causes—not just managing symptoms—through comprehensive labs, precision protocols, and deep personalization. Unlike conventional care, you’ll have unlimited time with your physician, without being rushed or limited by insurance models. Our approach blends medical expertise with a concierge-style experience, giving you the convenience of virtual care with the depth and white-glove support usually reserved for in-person concierge practices.

How are visits conducted?
All of our visits are virtual via secure telemedicine, so you can meet with your physician from the comfort of your home or office. We also provide digital access to your labs, personalized plans, and messaging for ongoing support.

Do you offer peptide therapy, hormone replacement, or other advanced treatments?
Yes. Based on your evaluation and labs, we may recommend bioidentical hormone therapy, peptide therapy, precision supplements, or other advanced therapies. All protocols are tailored to your individual needs and goals.

How do I get started?
The first step is booking a discovery call. This is a short consultation to make sure we’re a good fit and to answer your questions. From there, you’ll choose the best program for your goals and we’ll get started with labs and your initial visit.
