First Track Primary Care

About First Track Primary Care

What is First Track Primary Care?

First Track Primary Care is a direct primary care practice at 50 South County Commons Way, Unit E8, in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, 02879. Patients pay a monthly membership and see the clinician directly. The listed prescriber is Kyle Wardle, APRN, NP, a nurse practitioner who runs the practice. The office phone is 401-399-4159.

Its main work is primary care: annual wellness exams, chronic disease management, sick visits, immunizations, lab review and medication management. Weight management is one service on that list, described in its own words as "Medically supervised weight loss plans and nutritional counseling." The page does not name a weight-loss medication. It does not state that it offers hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 12 reviews.

Sick visits can be same-day, next-day or virtual for respiratory infections, UTIs, rashes and minor injuries. The posted office hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 8am to 3pm, and the practice says those hours are for new member consults and annual physicals. Members are told they can get same-day or next-day appointments and 24 hour access.

What does it cost?

Membership is $120 a month for adults 19 to 64 and $120 a month for seniors 65 and over. The one-time enrollment fee is $150, and a returning patient pays $300 to rejoin. The practice says members get unlimited office visits with no co-pays, plus text, email or phone access to Kyle. It also says some basic lab tests are done in the office at no cost.

That membership covers primary care. The practice does not publish a price for its weight management plans, and it does not say whether the monthly fee covers any medication. It also says membership does not replace insurance. Members still need coverage for specialists, hospital care, imaging, and labs and prescriptions at outside facilities. The practice says HSA funds can often pay membership fees. It does not say whether it bills insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs any weight-loss prescription, and whether Kyle Wardle runs the weight plan himself. His bio lists earlier work in a medically supervised weight management practice, so ask whether that experience shapes the plan here. Ask whether any medication is brand-name or compounded, whether its cost is part of the monthly fee, and what the weight plan costs on top of membership. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost beyond the in-office basics, since those prices are not listed.

Ask whether the practice bills insurance at all. It describes itself as out-of-network, and it says an HMO may not cover a specialist visit it refers you to, so if you have an HMO, check with your carrier first. If you are 65 or older, ask what the Medicare opt-out means for you. The practice has opted out of Medicare for office visits, and members sign a one-page agreement. Finally, ask how you cancel and whether there is a commitment period, since neither is stated.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a primary care clinician you can reach directly, you can pay a monthly membership on top of insurance, and primary care is what you mostly need. It is a weaker fit if your main reason for calling is a weight-loss program with a published price and a named medication, because the practice publishes neither.
