About 26Health

What is 26Health?

26Health is a family health center at 801 N Magnolia Avenue in Orlando, Florida 32803. The phone number is (321) 800-2922. Its core is primary care, with chronic disease care and family practice listed under it. Primary care is open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and Friday, 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The clinic also offers behavioral health through Focus26 (therapy, psychiatry and ADHD care), an in-house pharmacy, ultrasound, occupational health, a mobile unit, the Venus Center for reproductive health, chiropractic care and adoption services.

Two of its services fit what cash-pay patients often look for. The weight management program is built around a GLP-1 injection and a B-12 injection. Hormone replacement care covers people starting hormone replacement therapy, managing menopause or andropause, or exploring their options, and it lists mental health and heart health among its related services. The named prescribers are Luisa Mena, MD; Amber Hill, MD; James Pinotti, MD; Dr. Robert Rowe; Rhea Ambray, NPC; Kristen Otto, MD, MSc; Barika Harris, MSN, WHNPBC; Robert Walters, MSN, APRN, PMHNPBC; and Lynnett Ferrell, APRN, PHMNP. An Atlanta location is listed as coming soon, so Orlando is the office to plan around.

What does it cost?

The GLP-1 weight management program is $300 a month. That fee includes lab work, office visits, the GLP-1 injection and the B-12 injection, so the medication is inside the price. Oral medications are available at a lower fee, but no figure is published. A consultation fee is not published, and hormone replacement care has no published prices.

Uninsured patients can apply to a sliding fee scale. Eligibility depends on household size and income under the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Questions go to the patient care center at (321) 800-2922, Ext. 1700. The clinic has been approved by the federal government to operate a 340B drug benefit program, which since January 1, 2017 has given uninsured patients discounted prescription prices. It accepts a variety of insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CIGNA, Florida Blue, Medicare, TRICARE and Oscar Health, along with others. Whether insurance covers any part of the weight program is not stated. Membership terms and cancellation are not stated either.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which named clinician would oversee the weight program and who writes the prescription, since the clinic does not say which prescriber is attached to it. Ask whether the $300 monthly fee covers the medication for as long as you stay enrolled, and whether the GLP-1 is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether a consultation comes before you start, and what it costs.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost if they fall outside the program. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment. If you have insurance, ask whether your plan covers any part of the program or only the office visit. For hormone care, ask which medications are used and what they cost, since neither is published. If you need video visits, ask directly, because the clinic does not say whether telehealth is available.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person primary care in Orlando and a single monthly price for a GLP-1 program that includes labs, visits and both injections. If you need hormone therapy prices or video visits before you commit, call (321) 800-2922 and get those answers first.
