Wildwood Clinic

Here at the Wildwood Clinic we focus on reversing disease by changing lifestyle habits that caused it in the first place, instead of just prescribing medicine to keep it under control. To figure out what the cause is, our staff truly take time for all patients and listen with hearts full of compassion. Our medical providers are also trained in prescribing natural remedies and herbal medicine, that are more affordable than conventional medicine and have less side effects. They prescribe conventional medicine only when necessary.

“I came to the Wildwood Clinic multiple times with brown recluse bites. The provider prescribed hydrotherapy for me, some remedies using charcoal, and herbal teas. It healed quickly and I don’t have any scars left. In my experience these remedies were way more powerful than a cream I would have been given at the ER.” — Denise Trenton

Primary Care Services and Treatments for Lifestyle Guests

At the Wildwood Clinic, your healthcare is at the center of everything we do. From standard checkups as an outpatient, to treatments for complex illnesses while being a guest at our lifestyle center, you have our full attention.

Our medical providers give you time to share your health concerns, and ask you questions to get to the core of the issue. Then they create a personal treatment plan that best fits your needs, and follow up with you if necessary. Providers take mostly a natural route that includes natural remedies and herbs instead of conventional medicine whenever possible, causing less side effects and keeping the overall cost down. Our providers are always diligent in their work and will never refuse to prescribe conventional medicine when it is necessary to do so, and is more beneficial for the patient.

Natural remedies could include hydrotherapy, massage, the use of activated charcoal, various poultices, herbal teas, supplements, etc.

Medical Observers

Wildwood Lifestyle Center offers a month-long program to medical professionals, called the Lifestyle Medicine Observer Program. As a patient you could be asked to give permission to have an observer shadow your provider during your appointment. You will be asked to give written permission on one of our forms when you come in as a new patient. This will allow observers to shadow your provider at future appointments. If you are an existing patient, you will be asked to give written permission the next time you come for your appointment. You always have the right to verbally refuse an observer to shadow during an appointment if you don’t feel comfortable, even after you have given written permission.

Insurance

Wildwood accepts many insurance plans. Please take note of the following:

In-Network

We accept standard Medicare and are an in-network provider with CIGNA.

Out-of-Network

Many insurance plans have out-of-network benefits. This means that they may still reimburse a lesser portion of the charges, even though we’re not in their network.

Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem)

Currently, Anthem Blue Cross does not cover for services submitted by Wildwood Clinic. However, they may cover a portion of the cost of lab work sent to Quest Diagnostics, whom we utilize. We draw the labs and send them to Quest with your insurance information, and Quest will submit claims to your insurance carrier.

HMOs

Please note that HMOs plans (i.e. Kaiser Permanente) generally do not have out-of-network or out-of-state benefits.

Medicaid

We are not contracted with Medicaid.

How Much Will Your Insurance Cover

Insurance coverage varies depending on the carrier, each carrier’s various plans, network, and especially whether or not your deductible is met. Most insurance companies’ in-network deductibles are lower than out-of-network deductibles, and generally will pay a portion of their clients’ medical bills only after the deductible is met.

Reimbursements may range anywhere from a total of $2-$150 (sometimes more) based on the factors above and your individual diagnoses.

To help us determine what your plan benefits are, please send us copies of both sides of your insurance card(s) and your date of birth to businessoffice@wildwoodhealth.org or (706) 820-1474 (fax, attention Business Office), so that we can find that out for you.

Payment Plans

Payment plans are available via CareCredit, a medical expense-only credit card. Upon applying you can find out instantly how much credit you’d qualify for, and apply it to the cost of your appointment. The minimum purchase amount is $200. Learn more at CareCredit.com.
