About Elixir Health DPC

What is Elixir Health DPC?

Elixir Health DPC is a direct primary care practice in Pell City, Alabama, ZIP code 35128. No street address is published, so the town and ZIP are the only location details. Patients pay a monthly membership instead of billing insurance. Dr. Conner Willis, DNP, Family Nurse Practitioner, founded the practice and is the prescriber named for it. The practice describes him as a Marine Corps veteran with advanced nursing training from UAB. In its own words: "We believe in putting the patient-doctor relationship first."

Primary care is the main business. The practice lists nine services: preventive and wellness care, chronic disease management, telehealth visits, hormone replacement therapy, weight loss support, joint injections, routine labs and diagnostics, men's health, and women's health. Visits can happen in person, by telehealth, by text, or by phone. The practice does not name a medication for hormone replacement or weight loss support. It has a 5 rating on Google from 56 reviews, listed as a medical clinic, and it is a member of the Pell City Chamber of Commerce.

What does it cost?

Membership is priced by age. It is $35 a month for children ages 0 to 17, $89 a month for adults ages 18 to 59, and $99 a month for seniors ages 60 and up. There is also a one-time enrollment fee of $99. The practice says there are no copays and offers discounts for family, couples, military, and first responders. Members also get discounted labs and imaging.

It does not publish prices for hormone replacement or weight loss support. It does not say whether the membership fee includes any medication. It also does not state a consultation fee or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

The membership buttons read "Join Waitlist," so ask whether the practice is taking new members now and how long the wait is.

Ask whether the monthly fee covers any prescription medication, and if not, what the medication costs and where it is filled. For hormone replacement and weight loss support, ask which medications are used and whether each one is brand-name or compounded.

Ask who writes and signs the prescriptions, and how often you would see Dr. Willis yourself.

Ask what weight loss support includes, and whether it carries a separate charge.

Ask what follow-up visits and blood work cost beyond the membership, and what "24/7 provider access" means in practice.

Ask for the office address and hours if you plan to visit in person, since neither is published.

Ask how to cancel, whether there is a commitment period, and whether the $99 enrollment fee is refundable.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying out of pocket anyway, want a primary care relationship with one nurse practitioner, and are comfortable asking about medication and total cost before you commit. It is a harder fit if you need a named medication and a price for hormone or weight loss care before you call, since the practice publishes neither.
