# Membership Ongoing physician partnership at TMD Health: clarity, prioritization, and longitudinal measurement across three membership tiers — Core, Optimize, and Elite. **Ongoing care** ## Comprehensive care starts with a comprehensive understanding of you Most people do not need more information. They need clarity, prioritization, and a physician who can translate data into durable action. Membership is that partnership — ongoing guidance, medical care, interpretation, accountability, and refinement, not isolated visits. Membership begins with understanding where you are today, then builds an ongoing strategy around your data, goals, and evolving health. ![Dr. Tennyson reviewing test results on screen with a patient](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/7yi5boyj/production/d149d8ed5dcf321176a4b7fc2d1ec4b16d9882ff-1366x2048.jpg?w=1600&fm=webp&q=80&auto=format) - [Schedule a discovery call](https://calendly.com/tmdhealth/15-minute-meeting) **How it works** ## From first call to ongoing care No commitment up front. Membership follows a conversation, a measured baseline, and a plan built on your data. 1. **Discovery call** — A free 15-minute conversation about your goals and whether the practice is the right fit. 2. **Baseline Assessment** — One appointment: physician consultation, VO₂ max and threshold testing, and body composition. 3. **Personal plan** — Physician interpretation of your results, delivered as a written strategy you can act on. 4. **Ongoing membership** — A continuing physician partnership — guidance, accountability, and reassessment over time. **From initial evaluation to ongoing care** Membership begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your health, physiology, goals, and priorities. From there, we build, implement, and continuously refine your plan as your needs evolve. 1. **Comprehensive evaluation** — We start with your medical history, goals, current health, and objective measurement to establish where you are today. 2. **Physician interpretation** — Your results are integrated into a coherent picture of your health, risks, physiology, and opportunities for improvement. 3. **Personalized strategy** — We identify what matters most and build a practical plan around your goals, preferences, and life. 4. **Longitudinal care** — Ongoing access, treatment, guidance, accountability, and reassessment allow the plan to evolve with you. **Membership** ## Three levels of partnership Every membership begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, so your care is built around your health, physiology, and goals — not a generic protocol. ### Core — $295 per month _Longitudinal physician care for patients who want ongoing oversight, strategy, and guidance._ - Extended semi-annual physician visits - Longitudinal health and progress reports - Care planning and coordination - Personalized lifestyle and medical guidance - Biomarker and testing strategy, review, and management - Priority scheduling ### Optimize — $595 per month _More active physician involvement with regular reassessment of health, fitness, and performance._ - Everything in Core - Extended quarterly physician visits - Monthly physician check-ins - Training, recovery, and nutrition optimization - Semi-annual cardiopulmonary exercise testing ### Elite — $1,250 per month _High-touch physician partnership with frequent access, reassessment, and individualized planning._ - Everything in Core and Optimize - Weekly physician check-ins - Direct physician access - Quarterly performance assessments - Highly individualized coaching, accountability, and planning Tiers are billed monthly by the practice — nothing is purchased on this site.

Membership is what makes ongoing, unhurried, data-driven care possible: more time with your physician, prevention-first planning, coordination of outside records and referrals, and longitudinal tracking of your progress. Specific benefits, visit frequency, and pricing depend on the tier you choose. ### Do you accept insurance? TMD Health is a self-pay practice and does not participate with insurance plans. Superbills are available on request for you to submit to your insurer, though reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. To avoid surprises, a Good Faith Estimate is provided whenever possible. Independent labs and imaging centers bill separately. ### Does TMD Health replace my primary care doctor? No. TMD Health focuses on prevention, performance, and longevity, and is not intended to be your sole primary care provider. It does not provide hospital, emergency, urgent, or 24-hour on-call care — keep a relationship with a primary care physician and appropriate specialists. In an emergency, call 911. ### How do I communicate with the practice? Anything involving personal health information goes through the secure patient portal, the office phone during business hours, or direct discussion with your physician. Email is fine for anything non-clinical. The practice aims to respond within one business day — and electronic messages are never the right channel for urgent concerns. ### What if I travel outside New Jersey? If you'll be away for more than two consecutive weeks, let the practice know in advance — with notice, continuity planning is often possible. Because care can't legally be provided while you're physically outside New Jersey, plan for local access to medical care at your destination.
