About Blue Zone Health and Wellness

What is Blue Zone Health and Wellness?

Blue Zone Health and Wellness is a primary care practice at 800 Main St South, Suite 215 D, Southbury, CT 06488. Primary care is its main work, and it also offers hormone replacement therapy and Personalized Wellness, which it describes as lifestyle medicine. Dr. Miguel Rosa, APRN, DNP, FNP-BC is the one prescriber it names. Its hormone care covers men with andropause and late-onset hypogonadism and women moving through menopause, with lab testing and options that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. In its own words: "primary care should be a partnership, not a transaction." Visits are by appointment only, and it is rated 5 on Google from 10 reviews.

What does it cost?

It lists two self-pay visit prices: $175 for a new patient hormone evaluation and $125 for a follow-up. The new patient visit is listed at 75 minutes, while the hormone care description mentions a 60-minute evaluation, so confirm which applies. The visit price does not include medication, and medications and labs are billed separately. An optional InBody body composition scan is $25 for established patients and $50 for non-patients. It does not publish medication prices.

It is in-network with Anthem BCBS, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Connecticut Medicaid/HUSKY, Medicare, and various Medicare Advantage plans. Hormone visits bill to insurance when there is a qualifying diagnosis such as hypogonadism or menopause, and you pay your plan's copay, deductible, and coinsurance. The office provides superbills for health share reimbursement, though it does not credential with those groups directly. No membership is required.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription, and whether it is the Dr. Rosa you see at visits. Ask whether the cash-pay memberships mentioned in its hormone care description exist, and if so, what they cost and how to cancel. Ask whether medication is included in any monthly fee, what the drug is, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what labs cost, where they are drawn, and how often follow-ups happen. Ask whether telehealth is available, since the clinic does not say. Ask how long the practice has been open, because its blog describes a pre-launch period and no years in practice are stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care clinician in Southbury who also handles hormone therapy, and you are comfortable paying per visit for medication and labs on top of the visit fee, or your plan is one it accepts. If you need telehealth or a monthly price that includes medication, ask about those before you book.
