What is North Iowa Wellness Clinic?

North Iowa Wellness Clinic is a cash-based practice at 106 N Mill St in Lake Mills, Iowa 50450. Its phone number is 641-590-6376. Stephanie Lorenson, APRN, CNP, FNP-C, is the clinic's listed prescriber.

The practice describes itself as integrative functional medicine and offers four services: weight management, thyroid optimization, hormone therapy and wellness counseling. Its hormone therapy is bioidentical and non-pellet.

What does it cost?

The clinic publishes two fees. An initial 60 minute consultation is $195, and a follow-up appointment is $125. It does not publish prices for its medical weight loss or hormone optimization programs, which it calls customized. It does not say whether medication is included in any program price. Lab testing, medications, supplements and compound prescriptions are billed separately unless otherwise stated. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for eligible medical services. The clinic does not bill insurance for medical services. It describes no membership plan and no cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the program fee includes the medication or whether it is billed on top, since the clinic bills medications separately unless otherwise stated. Ask whether the GLP-1 medication would be brand-name or compounded, and what a compounded prescription would add to the bill. Ask what the lab work costs, how many tests a plan needs, and how often a $125 follow-up visit would be expected. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, because the clinic does not say. Ask how cancellation works and whether any fee is refundable. If peptide therapy is part of your plan, ask first, because the clinic does not list it.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live within reach of Lake Mills, can work with a Friday schedule, and want a cash-pay practice that combines lab work, counseling and supplements. It is a weaker fit if you need weekday visits, want a published price for each program, or are looking for peptide therapy.
