About Alive and Well Health

What is Alive and Well Health?

Alive and Well Health is a cash-pay physician practice at 501 Long Hollow Pike, Suite A, in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. Its main focus is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). It also offers thyroid and adrenal support, nutrition and supplements, and specialized integrative medicine.

Benita Phillips, D.O., is the one prescriber named. She has been board certified for 23 years. She practiced family medicine for her first 10 and has spent the last 13 in integrative medicine. The medications named are bioidentical testosterone and estrogen pellets. Pellet treatment is offered to women, and not to men at this time.

Visits are by appointment, either in person or by telemedicine. The practice serves Nashville and surrounding areas of Tennessee, including bordering states. Google shows a 5 rating from 4 reviews.

What does it cost?

The initial consult is $595 and runs 75 minutes. The 6-week follow-up is $295, a single visit. Ongoing follow-ups are $395 each, scheduled every 4 months, and move to $450 each every 6 months once visits are spaced out. Brief 15-minute consults are $195 and are used with pellet therapy or when more time is needed. Pellet insertion is $300 each, repeated every 12 weeks for women.

Medication is estimated at about $100 to $200 a month. That figure is only an estimate, since need varies from patient to patient. Supplements are estimated at $50 to $250 a month, and specialized treatment at $250 to $500 a month per program. Lab costs are also estimates. Initial bloodwork is about $185 for women and $295 for men, and follow-up bloodwork runs $50 to $175. In its own words: "Lab testing is a requirement for the services we provide." The practice does not accept health insurance of any kind.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $595 initial consult includes the prescription, or whether medication is billed separately. Ask what a realistic month of medication costs in your case, since the $100 to $200 figure is only an estimate. Ask whether the medication is compounded and which pharmacy fills it, because most pharmacy orders are compounded for each patient.

Ask what a full year of follow-up visits and bloodwork is likely to cost, and how cancellation works, since no cancellation terms are listed. If you live outside Tennessee, ask whether telemedicine is available where you are, because the practice does not name the states it serves. Finally, no weight loss program is listed, and peptide therapy is not offered as its own service. Peptides appear only as one possible tool within specialized treatment, so ask what that treatment would include and what it would cost.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from a physician in Goodlettsville, you can pay cash for consults, medication and lab work, and you want clear answers about compounding before you commit. If weight loss or peptide therapy is your main goal, the practice does not list either as its own service, so ask about them first.
