About Whole Body Balance Wellness

What is Whole Body Balance Wellness?

Whole Body Balance Wellness is a small, family-owned medical practice with offices in Havre de Grace and Bel Air, Maryland, serving Harford County. In its own words: "We are not a large corporate chain or telehealth mill." Keri M Volpini, CRNP, is the cofounder and medical director, and she has over 20 years of experience in the medical field. She is the only prescriber named. No street address is published, so ask which office you would visit when you call 410-454-8199.

Weight loss is the main draw. The Tailor Made Medical Weight Loss Program uses semaglutide and tirzepatide, and low dose naltrexone is available as add-on therapy as needed. Other services include peptide therapy, anti-aging and hormone optimization, Men's Health and Women's Health care, a root cause approach built on lab testing, and medical cannabis certification. Body sculpting and red light laser therapy are listed as coming soon. Google shows a 5 rating from 26 reviews.

This listing is for its Bel Air office at 9 W Courtland St Ste 201.

What does it cost?

The discovery call is free and lasts 20 minutes. A one hour wellness visit with the nurse practitioner costs $150, and wellness visits are separate from weight loss initial and follow-up visits. It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or peptides, and it does not say whether medication is included in those fees. Labs are cash pay at reduced rates negotiated with Quest and Labcorp, but no lab prices are listed. Labs are paid before a lab order goes out, and peptide therapy requires labs before you start.

The practice does not work with insurance companies. It will give you an invoice you can submit yourself for possible reimbursement, but Medicare beneficiaries are not entitled to reimbursement for its services. It accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express, with payment due at the appointment. HSA payment is expected in the near future. It has no membership or hidden fees. Cancellation terms are not published.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription. Keri M Volpini, CRNP, is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she handles every program and who sees you at follow-up visits. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, since that is not published. Ask whether each medicine is brand name or compounded. Its providers prescribe compounded versions of the weight loss injections, filled through FDA registered pharmacies, and its peptides come from compounding pharmacies. Ask what that means for each medicine you would take.

Ask what follow-up visits and repeat labs cost in total. Peptide therapy is described as a 5 month course, so ask the full cost of that course and what happens if you stop early. Ask how to cancel, whether any part of care can be done by telehealth, and which office offers which service, since that is not published.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cash-pay medical care in Harford County, can pay for visits and labs yourself, and want a nurse practitioner as the named prescriber for weight loss, hormone or peptide care. It may not fit if you need published prices before you call, or if you need a clinic that bills your insurance.
