About Modern Roots Healthcare, PLLC

What is Modern Roots Healthcare, PLLC?

Modern Roots Healthcare, PLLC is a cash-pay practice at 1140 Wabash Rd in Upton, Kentucky. Abby Carter, APRN, is the only prescriber the practice names, and she lists FNP-C after her name. She reports 14 years of healthcare experience, 7 of them as a nurse practitioner, with a BSN from Western Kentucky University and an FNP from Eastern Kentucky University.

The practice lists primary care, urgent care, functional medicine, a medical weight loss program, and aesthetic services. Hormone balance and optimization falls under functional medicine. The weight loss program names semaglutide and tirzepatide as its GLP-1 options. Visits can be in person or by telehealth, with same-day urgent care and other visits by appointment. Google shows a rating of 5 from one review.

The practice says it serves Hardin, Larue and Hart counties from Upton. It also says it is building a standalone clinic, but gives no opening date. In its own words: "My goal is to combine medical expertise with a thoughtful, individualized approach to help each patient feel their best from the inside out."

What does it cost?

Every visit is paid in cash at the time of service, and the practice does not accept insurance at this time. Primary care and urgent care initial visits are $225, with follow-ups at $125. Functional medicine has the same $225 initial and $125 follow-up. Urgent care lists $50 per visit, with testing billed in addition.

The weight loss program lists a $125 initial visit and $60 follow-ups. The medication is a separate charge discussed at the visit, and the practice does not publish medication prices. Xeomin is $11 per unit, and filler pricing depends on a consultation. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. The practice will provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer. Payment plan terms are not described, and cancellation terms for the weight loss program are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and whether Abby Carter handles every refill. Ask for the total monthly cost with medication included, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up lab work costs when paid in cash, since the practice notes that labs and prescriptions are often run through insurance.

Ask which hormone treatments fall under hormone balance and optimization and what they cost, because the listing does not name them. Ask how cancellation and any commitment period work for the weight loss program. Ask whether telehealth covers follow-up visits and which states it covers, since no states are named. Ask for filler pricing before you book, and ask whether the two devices listed as coming soon have a start date.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Upton, can pay cash, and want primary care or same-day urgent care along with a weight loss program that you can price out before committing. If you are looking for peptide therapy or longevity medicine, the practice does not list either, so ask before you book.
