About Bluewater Vitality

What is Bluewater Vitality?

Bluewater Vitality is a practice at 2557 Barrington Cir #1 in Tallahassee, Florida. Its listed prescriber is Annie Smelt, FNP-C, a nurse practitioner the clinic describes as autonomous. She works with a supervising physician on complex protocols, but no such physician is named.

This listing is for its Tallahassee office at 2557 Barrington Cir STE 1.

What does it cost?

The published prices are for Direct Primary Care and urgent care. The membership is $200 a month and includes primary care visits in person and by telehealth, plus an annual wellness exam. Lab testing, medications, procedures, and outside services not specifically included are billed separately. Urgent care is $200 a visit, with two visits a month included for members.

It does not publish prices for medical weight loss, hormone therapy, or peptide therapy. It states no consultation fee, does not say whether medication is included in any price, and does not say whether it accepts insurance. Cancellation terms are not described. The membership is governed by a Direct Primary Care Membership Agreement, so read that agreement before paying.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the weight loss program includes the medication, and what the medication costs each month. The membership terms bill medications separately, so confirm the same for the weight loss program. Ask how long treatment usually runs.

Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. In its own words: "Generic Compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications prescribed are sent from compounded pharmacies." Ask the clinician to explain what that means for your treatment.

Ask who signs the prescription and whether the supervising physician reviews it, since only Annie Smelt, FNP-C, is named.

Ask what follow-up and lab work costs, since testing is sold as a separate service. Ask whether any service is billed to insurance, how to cancel a membership, and whether any money is refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one named nurse practitioner on a flat monthly membership, in Tallahassee or by telehealth, and you expect to pay separately for labs, medication, and procedures. If you need every price in writing before you book, or you need insurance billing, call and get those answers first.
