Dr. Jordan Vaughn, CEO of MedHelp Clinics in Birmingham, saw how important vascular medicine is for Long COVID patients. His understanding of how blood vessel problems and inflammation lead to long-term health issues inspired him. This includes conditions like Long COVID. Because of this, he decided to open MedWell Clinic in 2024.
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 give you more information about each treatment. They can also recommend a care plan that will work best 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 helps patients find the best treatment for their health needs and 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 need a cancellation notice of 24 to 48 hours for all treatments. If you do not cancel in time, you will be charged a late cancellation fee. The fee depends on the service you had scheduled.
Can you combine treatments?
Yes, you can combine treatments. Combining IV infusions with other therapies can be very helpful. This approach can support or enhance 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.

How much does EECP cost?
Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is $100 for a single session. When using EECP to treat heart disease, it is important to stick to a regular schedule. You should have 36 sessions that last 60 minutes each. Aim for 3 to 5 sessions each week. This helps create lasting blood flow pathways in the heart. 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.

| 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.
You may feel more tired or have flu-like symptoms in the 24 to 48 hours after your treatment. This happens as your body detoxes. A Meyers/glutathione cocktail IV before your EBOO procedure can help with detox. It can also reduce side effects after treatment.
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 suggest starting with at least 3 EBOO sessions to get the best results. Our providers can create a treatment plan just for you.
We ask that all patients eat a heavy protein and carbohydrate meal 30 minutes before your treatment. It’s important to stay hydrated in the days before treatment. This helps keep your blood glucose levels normal during treatment. It also ensures that your veins are easy to 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 will have a complete medical check-up. This will help us decide if you are ready for treatment. We will also determine how many sessions you will need and how often they will occur.
When you arrive for your treatment, you’ll enter our hard shell HBOT chamber, which is spacious and comfortable. You can relax in the recliner in our room. You can read a book, take a nap, or watch your favorite show on TV. The chamber will be sealed, and the pressurization process begins.
During your treatment, a trained HBOT technician will monitor you. You will have a two-way phone to ask questions or report any distress. You may feel a fullness or popping in your ears. This can happen when flying or driving in the mountains. Your technician will teach you how to relieve this feeling as the pressure builds. 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. It is normal to feel mild fatigue, headache, nausea, or light-headedness. This can happen because of 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?
IV fluids go straight into your bloodstream. This means they reach your body’s cells faster 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?

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 visit MedWell Clinic for Red Light Therapy, you will go to a private room. There, you can change into 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 decide how long and how often to use Red Light Therapy. This will help you avoid side effects.
How is EECP an alternative to other cardiac procedures?
During EECP, blood will flow to your heart. It will bypass arteries with plaque. Instead, it will enter healthy blood vessels. This helps avoid 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 will lie down on a comfortable bed. A trained technician will wrap cuffs around your calves, thighs, and buttocks. These cuffs are similar to blood pressure cuffs. 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. Since the treatment lasts an hour, please do not drink fluids for 30 minutes before your appointment. Also, use the bathroom right before the treatment starts.
