Financial agreement
Agreement for self-payment of services
This agreement explains the financial terms for services purchased from Elite Functional Health, a Professional Nursing Corporation, operating as Apex Vitality. The exact price and included items for a purchase must be displayed before payment.
Cash-pay services
Apex Vitality is a cash-pay practice unless a specific written offer states otherwise. Apex Vitality does not submit claims to health plans and does not promise that a health plan, flexible spending account, or health savings account will reimburse any charge. Upon request, Apex may provide an itemized receipt when appropriate.
Coverage eligibility
Apex Vitality does not accept patients enrolled in Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medi-Cal/Medicaid, the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) program, or dual-eligible coverage. By continuing, you confirm that you are not currently enrolled in any of these forms of coverage. Eligibility is based on coverage status, not age.
What your payment means
Payment starts the administrative and clinical-review process. It does not establish medical eligibility and does not guarantee a diagnosis, prescription, laboratory order, refill, medication, or result. A licensed clinician independently determines whether a requested service or treatment is appropriate.
Included and separate charges
The checkout description controls which Apex Vitality clinical services are included. Prescription medication, pharmacy charges, injection supplies, and medication shipping are always separate and paid by the patient. Laboratory testing, supplements, imaging, and other outside services are also separate unless the checkout expressly identifies them as included. You are responsible for charges you authorize and for providing accurate billing, shipping, and contact information.
$39 initial-care payment
The initial consultation costs $39 once and does not require membership. It does not start a recurring charge or include laboratory orders or testing. A separate $149/month Focused Care membership is required before any lab orders.
Ineligibility refund
If the reviewing clinician determines that you are not eligible for the selected care pathway, Apex Vitality will refund the $39 initial-care payment. A recurring membership charge begins only after the patient separately chooses a membership, accepts its renewal terms, and completes its checkout.
When treatment is not authorized
Clinical-care fees pay for the professional services described at checkout and do not guarantee a prescription. Medication is purchased separately from the dispensing pharmacy and is subject to that pharmacy's payment, cancellation, return, and refund policies.
Appointments
Appointment cancellation, rescheduling, and missed-visit terms are stated in the Terms of Service and any appointment-specific notice shown before payment. If a checkout notice conflicts with this agreement, contact Apex Vitality before paying.
Questions
Submit billing questions through the designated written support channel identified in your purchase confirmation or patient portal before purchasing if you do not understand the price, included services, refund terms, or another financial term.
After the required boxes are checked, you return automatically to checkout.
Effective September 4, 2026.
