About Cornerstone Medical

What is Cornerstone Medical?

Cornerstone Medical is a primary care clinic at 325 W 13th Ave, Suite 1, in Junction City, Oregon. It works on direct pay, so you pay the clinic yourself, and it does not bill your insurer. The two people it names as prescribers are Stephanie Ridgley, a nurse practitioner who is also an owner of the practice, and Dr. Mary Gabriele, who is board certified in family medicine.

The clinic lists walk-in medical care, primary care, specialty care, weight loss, IV hydration therapy, regenerative medicine and school physicals. Hormone optimization is featured on its home page. Its weight loss program is medication-assisted and includes monthly appointments and a personalized plan. In its own words: "Our providers will determine if medication-assisted weight loss is appropriate for you and monitor your progress throughout treatment." The clinic does not name the medications it uses. Dr. Gabriele lists women's health, hormonal imbalance and menopause among her areas of focus. The clinic has a Google rating of 5 from 24 reviews.

What does it cost?

Membership is the pricing the clinic publishes. The individual membership is $129 a month. The couple or family membership is $199 a month. The clinic describes that second plan two ways, as covering a family of five in one place and as covering up to 5 members in another, so confirm the size before you sign.

Memberships include unlimited medical visits with no copay, phone, text and email access to providers, telemedicine visits, labs drawn on site, and discounted medication and lab services. The discounts are not priced. The clinic does not publish a price for weight loss care, a consultation fee or the cost of medication, and it does not say whether medication is included in a membership. It does not publish cancellation terms.

The clinic does not bill insurance directly. It will give you an invoice on request to submit to your insurer yourself, and it accepts most HSA and FSA cards.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber handles weight loss care, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether the $129 membership covers weight loss visits and medication, or whether medication is billed on top of it, and what that would cost each month. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost if they fall outside the membership. Ask whether the $199 plan covers five people or up to five. Ask how to cancel and whether you must give notice. For telemedicine visits, ask which states the clinic serves, because it does not name them. Walk-in hours are Monday to Thursday, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and the phone number is (541) 999-6943.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a membership-based primary care clinic in Junction City, can pay the monthly fee yourself or with an HSA or FSA card, and want the medication questions answered in writing before you commit. It is not a fit if you need the clinic to bill your insurance directly.
