Frequently Asked Questions

Do these treatments really work? How quickly can I expect to see results?
All of the treatments offered at MedWell Clinic are proven effective and backed by extensive peer-reviewed scientific research. However, natural therapies are not quick-fix solutions. While you may experience some initial relief, healing generally occurs over the course of several consistent treatments. Our providers can provide more information about each treatment and can recommend a care plan that will be most effective for you.
Do you accept health insurance?
At this time, we are unable to accept insurance. All services are self-pay and out-of-pocket. We can take most HSA cards and can provide a basic receipt, but please note our receipts are not “super-bills” for insurance reimbursement.
Do you offer treatment packages?
Yes, we provide discounted packages for multiple sessions of the same therapy. We do not offer packages for combined therapies at this time.
What kind of medical consultation do you offer?
Our medical consultation is designed to help patients determine the best course of treatment based on their specific medical needs and health goals.
Patients can schedule a no-obligation consultation with a provider when they’re not sure what treatments they need. Providers will consider medical history, current medical conditions, and health goals before recommending any treatments.
For some therapies, patients will need to be medically cleared before beginning treatment. In addition to completing a thorough medical history, your provider will order any required labs or diagnostics. Patients must be medically cleared for HBOT, EECP, EBOO, and certain IV infusions.
Are your treatments supported by clinical research?
Yes, all of our treatments are supported by clinical research. Contact our office for more information.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require a 24 to 48-hour cancellation notice for all treatments or you will be charged a late cancellation fee depending on the service you were scheduled for.
Can you combine treatments?
Yes, you can combine treatments. It can be particularly useful to combine IV infusions with other therapies to support or supplement the treatment’s effectiveness. Your provider can provide more information about combining treatments.
How much does EBOO cost?
Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) is $900 per treatment. We recommend at least 3 60-minute sessions once a week and up to 12 sessions, depending on your medical needs and health goals.
1 session | $900 |
3 pack | $2,500 |
6 pack | $4,750 |
9 pack | $7,000 |
Late Cancellation Fee | $200 |
How much does HBOT cost?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is priced according to treatment length. One 60-minute session is $135. One 90-minute session is $185. HBOT is recommended for patients 3-5 times per week in increments of 10, 20, 30, or 40 sessions, depending on illness history and health goals.
60-minute sessions | 90-minute sessions | |
1 session | $135 | $185 |

How much does EECP cost?
Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is $100 for a single session. However, when EECP is used to treat cardiovascular disease, it’s essential to maintain a consistent schedule of 36 60-minute sessions 3-5 times per week to develop permanent cardiac blood flow pathways. You can purchase a 36-session package for $3,600.
Fewer sessions can help boost endurance and speed recovery time but do not have permanent results.
The late cancellation fee for EECP is $50.

5 pack | $205 |
10 pack | $385 |
Late cancellation fee | $15 |
What can I expect from my first EBOO treatment?
Before your treatment, a nurse will take your vitals and check your blood glucose. Then, you’ll sit in a recliner and can choose something to watch on TV while we start two peripheral IVs. We will then hook the IVs up to the machine and begin treatment.
During treatment, you will have a certified technician with you at all times to tend to your needs. You may become flushed or get a feeling of warmth throughout the treatment. Toward the end of the treatment, you may feel lightheaded. Let your technician know how you feel so they can help you have a safe, comfortable treatment.
While we can combat most side effects, you may feel more fatigued or experience flu-like symptoms in the 24-48 hours following your treatment as you detox. A Meyers/glutathione cocktail IV prior to your EBOO procedure can aid in detox and limit your post-treatment side effects.
An average EBOO session lasts 30-60 minutes. In the first session, we titrate your blood to ozone. Unless you have had an ozone treatment within the last three months, we need to slowly introduce the ozone to the blood. We recommend starting with at least 3 sessions of EBOO to see the most benefit, but our providers can develop a specific treatment plan tailored to your needs.
We ask that all patients eat a heavy protein and carbohydrate meal 30 minutes before your treatment. It’s also important to stay hydrated in the days prior to treatment to ensure that your blood glucose levels stay normalized throughout treatment and that your veins have the best access.
Are there age requirements for EBOO treatment?
If you’re in stable condition and medically cleared, we can administer EBOO to almost anyone, regardless of age. We have treated patients as young as 10 and as old as 93.
What is HBOT treatment like?
Before your HBOT treatment, you’ll undergo a thorough medical evaluation to clear you for treatment and determine the number and frequency of treatments that you will need.
When you arrive for your treatment, you’ll enter our hard shell HBOT chamber, which is spacious and comfortable. You can unwind and relax in the recliner in our chamber; you can read a book, take a nap, or even watch your favorite show on TV. The chamber will be sealed, and the pressurization process begins.
During your treatment, you’re monitored by a trained HBOT technician and have a two-way phone that you can use for questions or if you are experiencing distress. You can expect to feel a fullness or popping sensation in your ears (like when flying in an airplane or driving through the mountains), but your technician will educate you on how to relieve this sensation as the pressure increases. You may also feel warm, but we have an air-conditioning unit inside the chamber that you can adjust as needed.
Each treatment session lasts from 60 to 90 minutes. After your treatment, you may feel tired or lightheaded, but these side effects are generally mild and temporary.
What can I expect to feel after an IV infusion?
You may feel an immediate boost of energy and clarity. However, it is normal to feel mild fatigue, headache, nausea, or light-headedness due to the “kick start” of cellular metabolism.
How often should you get IV therapy?
Most patients benefit from IV infusion therapy one or two times each week, or at least once every two weeks. If you’re taking IV therapy for a specific medical condition, your provider will detail a specific treatment plan.
Is IV hydration better than drinking water?
Because IV fluids are injected directly into your bloodstream, these fluids reach your body’s cells more quickly than drinking water. One liter of fluids through IV infusion is equivalent to drinking 2.5 gallons of water.
How long does IV infusion take?
Most infusions take 45 minutes to an hour. Some treatments last a little longer. Your provider will let you know how much time to plan for your specific infusion treatment.
What IV infusions are available?
Our current IV infusions include:

Can I get an IV infusion if I am pregnant or undergoing cancer treatment?
Pregnant patients or current oncology patients cannot receive an IV infusion without clearance from their obstetrician/oncologist. We may also require bloodwork prior to your infusion(s).
What can I expect from my Red Light Therapy visit?
When you come to MedWell Clinic for Red Light Therapy, you will be taken to a private room where you can undress down to your undergarments. Then, you put on the recommended sunglasses and lay down on the exam bed underneath our Red Light panel. A technician will be available to assist you and make adjustments to the light.
During your 20-minute treatment, you may feel warm all over and experience a feeling of calm. Many patients take a nap during their treatment.
Are there any side effects to Red Light Therapy?
There have been no reports of serious adverse side effects of red light therapy. Individuals with highly sensitive skin could experience temporary redness and tightness. This can be avoided with shorter treatments. Your provider will help you determine the appropriate length of time and frequency of Red Light Therapy to avoid side effects.
How is EECP an alternative to other cardiac procedures?
During EECP, the blood flowing to your heart will naturally bypass arteries with significant plaque and instead enter healthy, non-diseased blood vessels, avoiding blockages. These pathways are reinforced through your 36 treatments and will become lasting routes for blood to reach your heart beyond the blockages. This is why EECP is often referred to as a “natural bypass”.
I have already had a bypass/cardiac surgery/angioplasty/stents. Can I still have EECP?
Yes, EECP is a safe, effective treatment for patients who have had previous cardiac surgeries and interventions. Your provider will ensure that treatment is safe for you before you begin EECP treatment.
What can I expect from my EECP treatment?
Prior to your visit, a nurse will take your vitals. You’ll lay down on a comfortable bed, and a trained technician will wrap cuffs (similar to blood pressure cuffs) around your calves, thighs, and buttocks. We will also place electrodes on your chest to monitor your heartbeat and a sensor on your finger to monitor your blood pressure.
During each hour-long session, the cuffs will inflate and deflate with your heartbeat. An EECP therapist will remain nearby to facilitate effective therapy and ensure patient comfort. The buttocks cuff can increase pressure across your lower pelvis, which may cause an urge to urinate. Because the treatment is an hour long, we ask that you refrain from drinking fluids for 30 minutes before your appointment time and use the bathroom immediately before treatment begins.
