What if I don't need everything you're offering?
PhysioAge Systems is a biomarker reporting solution that is available to any qualified physician as a standalone application to measure and manage physiological age.
PhysioAge Medical Group is a practice franchise that attempts to ensure the success in each new market by closely replicating the business & clinical model that has proven so successful in our NYC headquarters location. Working with similar systems and workflows ensures that we can not only maintain quality across all Partners, but also provide expert support when needed. Unlike other franchises, we only ask that you practice evidence-based medicine related to age management medicine. We provide training, protocols and clinical support, you decide how to practice medicine in the best interest of your patients.
How much will all of this cost me?
Compared with competitive offerings, our pricing is very reasonable. When you factor in the $1K/mo marketing contribution, your net cost is less than $0.
What do I get for my licensing fee?
Your licensing fee grants you the following:
We do not offer clinical training, but we do provide orientation in the PhysioAge Clinical Guidelines to those Partners who adopt the PhysioAge name. The American Academy for Anti-Aging Medicine has an excellent program, as does Worldlink Medical.
We have no restrictions on additional services offered by our Partners, provided they are bona fide and not too controversial. Check with us for specifics.
Provided you are in compliance with local and federal regulations, you are free to charge your patients directly for blood tests.
In addition to blood, you are free to use whatever tests will enable you to best manage your patients' levels and symptoms. For your blood tests, we will work with Quest and/or Labcorp to create custom panels at deeply discounted prices.
Affiliation with the PhysioAge brand
Name recognition of the PhysioAge brand is increasing as we expand our web presence, advertising and event participation. Affiliation with our NYC clinic and our nationwide network of physicians will convey our endorsement: even patients who have never heard of PhysioAge will associate you with a high level of quality assurance, standardization and expertise after visiting our website. You will have received hands-on training by Drs. Livesey and Raffaele, two well-known experts in the field who opened the first and largest age management practice in the northeast. Through ongoing clinical support, your patients can tap into their expertise.
Referrals from PhysioAge.com
We will refer prospective patients from your regional area to your practice. We are investing to improve and maintain our search listings in Google, Yahoo!, and other major search engines. This investment will pay off for all of our Partners. You will have your own section of PhysioAge.com with site photos, staff photos, services provided, etc.
Expert marketing support
We’ll develop and manage a comprehensive marketing campaign specifically designed to attract patient prospects in your area. We’re currently investing in a market research study of the most effective keywords, ads, and channels for our practice. This study will actually tell us which ad combinations actually resulted in new patients. We’ll use this market intelligence to focus your marketing budget on the most effective ad combinations so you get the most out of every dollar.
Seminar management
Monthly Hormone Therapy seminars are a proven way to introduce prospective patients to your practice and establish your reputation as an expert in your field. In addition to providing a 45-slide PowerPoint deck, we’ll use a Facebook ad campaign to fill your seats.
Taking the PhysioAge brand is optional. By leveraging our brand identity, you’ll be able project the same professional image we’ve carefully cultivated over the years. You’ll be listed on our website as a member of our team, along with a full writeup on your practice and staff. We’ll refer site visitors looking for an age management physician in your area. Finally, you’ll enjoy market exclusivity for the duration of your contract.
We have some Partners who want to keep their own brand yet use our brand in conjunction with their hormone therapy practice. We will consider such co-branded offerings on a case-by-case basis.
First, we’ll conduct a top-to-bottom assessment of your current practice, including operational workflows, business processes, documentation, clinical style, marketing, competition and systems. Then we’ll discuss your practice goals and challenges in depth to best understand where you want to take your practice. We’ll develop a detailed plan that takes into account everything we’ve learned and sets the course for growth. Finally, we’ll execute on that plan and continually monitor your practice to make sure you’re meeting your goals. Your licensing fee will depend on the size of your market.
Rather than simply insert your logo and name, we'll work with you to make sure each document fully reflects they way your practice runs. Most documents are highly specialized to our NYC practice's procedures, systems and workflows. After gaining a full understanding of your situation, we'll reconfigure them to suit your practice. This may involve workflow development, staff roles and responsibilities, your practice's policies, etc.
We'll upload electronic versions of all documents to your own Wiki. A Wiki is an online collaboration workspace that contains documents and web pages. You and your staff will always be able to find the latest version of the right document on your Wiki.
Certainly - just contact us and we'll provide some samples via e-mail.
Clinical Support is only available to practices that become full Partners. That is, they adopt the PhysioAge brand.
We will provide ongoing support for the duration of your contract. Our initial contract term is 36 months, with automatic renewal for 12-month periods thereafter. We only ask that you use MedQuest Pharmacy as your preferred pharmacy.
This depends on how much help you require. Practices with a full-time Business Manager will need less help than practices without one. Our consulting rates are reasonable and will more than pay for themselves over time.
All of our services are available "a la carte" and are tailored to your needs. Your customized cost estimate will only include those areas where you need our help.
Patient cost will depend on the equipment you choose to acquire and the blood tests they choose to take. Suggested retail price using the four required pieces of equipment is $295. This includes CardioAge, CutoAge, NeuroAge, PulmoAge and handgrip strength. Adding blood panels could cost significantly more, depending on tests ordered. Some insurance plans will cover the optional Quest/Labcorp panels. You are free to charge your patients any price you wish.
Of the PhysioAge components, TelomerAge and ImmunoAge require separate blood tests. See Health Status Indicators for a detailed breakdown of the tests required for each biomarker.
All biomarkers related to bone density, body composition, oxygen comsumption and CIMT rely on optional equipment (bone densitometer, InBody and ultrasound, respectively). You are not required to purchase or lease any of this optional equipment. However, Partners who adopt the PhysioAge brand must use the body composition machine in their practice.
Our basic package requires only four devices: Sphygmocor, Cutometer, Spirometer and Dynamometer. At a cost of approximately $270 per month, this system will pay for itself with one assessment per month.
The biomarker equipment fits on a standard computer cart, which must be situated next to an exam table. Both the Sphygmocor and the Cutometer occupy a space of about one square foot, and they sit stacked together.
