Everything you want to know about how BioVella works, what to expect, and how to get started.
Do you accept insurance?
No. BioVella is a fully cash-pay practice. No pre-authorizations, no surprise bills, and no limitations on what your physician can order. Transparent pricing before every visit.
Do I need a referral to book?
No referral needed. You can book directly online or by phone. Most new patient appointments are available same day or next day.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Sarasota, FL (34240) and see patients from throughout the area, including Osprey, Nokomis, and Englewood.
How is BioVella different from a regular doctor's office?
Longer appointments (45–60 minutes), no insurance constraints, physician-only care, and comprehensive lab-guided protocols focused on optimization — not just symptom management.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Many BioVella services qualify as medical expenses under HSA and FSA plans. Ask at booking or check with your plan administrator for specifics.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit is a comprehensive physician consultation — typically 45–60 minutes. We review your health history, discuss your goals, and order any baseline lab work. From there your physician builds a personalized plan.
How much do services cost?
Pricing varies by service. Primary wellness visits start at $150, IV infusion therapy from $199/session, medical weight loss from $299/month, and peptide therapy from $199/month. All pricing is transparent — no surprise charges.
What is a longevity practice?
A longevity practice focuses on optimizing your healthspan — how long you live well, not just how long you live. We use advanced lab testing, hormone optimization, evidence-based therapies, and lifestyle medicine to help you feel and perform at your best for decades.
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
Some follow-up consultations and lab reviews are available via telehealth for established patients. Initial visits and treatments requiring in-person care are conducted at our Sarasota location.
How do I get started?
Book a visit directly through our website using the "Book a visit" button, or contact us with any questions first. No referral, no insurance needed — just show up ready to talk about your health.
Can I just book a single visit, or do I need to join a program?
Pay only for what you need — book a single visit anytime, no membership or commitment required. Pricing starts from $150/visit.
Do you offer Direct Primary Care memberships?
Yes. Direct Primary Care gives you unlimited access to your physician for a flat monthly fee — no per-visit costs, no insurance, no hassle.
What if I want an ongoing care plan?
Our care plan and program memberships are personalized, multi-month plans built around your labs, lifestyle, and goals — for ongoing, proactive care. Pricing starts from $499/program.
