About Rooted Health & Wellness

What is Rooted Health & Wellness?

Rooted Health & Wellness is a hormone and metabolic health clinic in Columbus, Indiana. It is located inside Flourish at 2667 Foxpointe Drive, Suite 4, and was founded in late 2023. Its prescribers are Carlie Johnson, FNP-C, Blair Baugh, FNP-C, Rebecca Metz, FNP-C, MSN, and Brittany Morehead, a family nurse practitioner. A personal trainer and a nutrition coach also work with patients, but they do not prescribe.

Hormone care covers testosterone therapy, anastrozole, clomiphene, HCG/HMG, peptides, human growth hormone, erectile dysfunction treatments, and infertility evaluation and support. Weight loss is offered as a lab-guided program under its metabolic health services. Rooted does not name a GLP-1 or other weight loss medication, and it does not name any longevity or anti-aging medicine. On Google it has a 5 rating from 85 reviews. In its own words: "We do not follow algorithms for care for any issue."

This listing is for its Columbus office at 2667 Fox Pointe Dr Suite 4.

What does it cost?

The initial consult is $250, and that fee covers the first visit and ordering labs. Ongoing care is a membership with a monthly fee that depends on the services you need. Packages start at $150 a month. Rooted does not say whether medication is included in that price, and it does not publish cancellation terms for memberships.

Rooted does not accept insurance for visits, but it will provide a superbill on request so you can submit a claim yourself. Labs can be billed to insurance, paid in cash through its mobile phlebotomist, or paid with an HSA card. Patients with Medicare or Medicaid cannot be charged cash unless the service is not covered. If insurance requires prior authorization for a medication sent to a commercial pharmacy, a $50 fee applies. Paying 3 months at a time earns 5% off, and paying a full year up front earns 10% off. A referral earns $25 off the initial consult or a monthly membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly membership covers medication or whether drugs are billed on top of it, and what each one costs per month. Ask whether each medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask which of the four prescribers will sign your prescriptions and manage your care.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether visits can be done by telehealth, which Rooted does not publish. Ask for office hours, which are also not published. Ask how a membership is canceled and whether there is a notice period. If insurance will cover any medication, ask about the $50 prior authorization fee before anything goes to a pharmacy.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an ongoing relationship with a nurse practitioner for hormone or metabolic concerns, and you are ready to pay cash for visits, labs, and a monthly membership once you know the medication cost. If you need telehealth, posted hours, or a GLP-1 medication, ask about those before you book.
