About Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville

What is Integrative Family Medicine of Asheville?

It is mainly a primary care practice that runs on a direct primary care membership, so patients pay a monthly fee instead of billing insurance. It has two offices, one in the River Arts District of Asheville and one in Arden. Providers include Michael Crowgey, MD, Chad Krisel, MD, Jess VanRegenmorter, APRN, DNP, FNP-C, and Richard Downing, FNP-BC.

Hormone management is one of its listed services, alongside Integrative Women's Health, thyroid management, health coaching and nutrition support, and priority access for appointments. It does not name specific hormones such as testosterone, and it does not name weight loss, peptide or longevity programs. In its own words: "In-person, virtual, and phone visit options are available." It has a 4.9 Google rating from 298 reviews.

This listing is for its Suite 30 Arden office at 2159 Hendersonville Rd..

What does it cost?

Individual membership starts at $110 a month up to age 45, $115 from age 46 to 59, and $125 from age 60. Children enrolled with an adult member are $75 a month, and there is a one-time $80 enrollment fee. Visits carry no co-pays, and labs and procedures are priced at wholesale rates. A visit to establish care costs $350 for non-members.

In its own words: "The Integrative Life Membership is a commitment for one full year from the enrollment date." Members who cancel within seven days of their establish care visit pay only the difference between fees paid and the non-member rate of services received. After that window, cancelling early may bring a $250 early termination fee. It does not publish hormone prices, and it does not say whether the membership fee covers medication or hormone visits. For pricing questions, call (828) 519-5445.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription, and which hormones are prescribed. It does not say whether bioidentical hormones are offered. Ask whether hormone visits and follow-up labs fall under the monthly fee or are billed separately. Labs ordered from the office cannot be billed to insurance, so ask what the wholesale lab prices are. Ask whether medications are included in the membership or billed at discounted prices. Ask how cancellation works before you pay the enrollment fee. If you have insurance, ask how outside referrals and prescriptions are handled, since the practice is not enrolled in Medicaid.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one practice for everyday primary care and hormone management on a single monthly membership, and you can commit to a year. If you are looking for a named weight loss, peptide or longevity program, ask about it directly first, because none is listed.
