Frequently Asked Questions
01. Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Anchor Health accepts select commercial insurance plans for covered services in Maryland. Coverage, copays, deductibles, and coinsurance depend on your specific plan.
02. Do you see children?
Yes. As a family nurse practitioner, I provide telemedicine-based primary care for children (5 and older), teens, and adults in Maryland.
03. Where do I go for lab tests?
When laboratory testing is needed, Anchor Health sends your orders electronically to national and local laboratory partners in Maryland, allowing you to choose a convenient location near your home or workplace. We work with major accredited laboratory networks so that, whenever possible, you can use your insurance benefits for testing and your results are delivered securely and promptly to your Anchor Health clinician for review and follow-up.
04. Do I need a membership?
No. Membership is optional. You can receive care using traditional insurance-based or self-pay visits without joining a membership.
05. What does membership replace?
Membership does not replace insurance. It supports longer visits, enhanced access, and more structured follow-up. Insurance is still used for covered medical services.
06. Do you prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Prescription therapies, including GLP-1 medications, may be considered after a clinical evaluation and shared decision-making. They are not guaranteed, and results vary.
07. Do you provide mental health care?
Mental and emotional health concerns are addressed within the primary care scope. We provide screening, supportive counseling, and medication management when appropriate, and we coordinate with mental health specialists when needed.
08. Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. All care is currently provided via secure telemedicine for patients located in Maryland at the time of the visit.
09. Do you provide emergency care?
No. Anchor Health does not provide emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.
10. Can I start without a membership and add it later?
Yes. Patients may begin with traditional primary care and choose membership later if their needs change, within practice capacity.
