INVESTMENT
Straight pricing.
No insurance games.
Most chronic pain patients have already spent thousands of dollars on copays, deductibles, out-of-network "savings," and time off work to drive to appointments that did not work. We are not asking you to do that again.
The Posture Clinic is a cash-pay practice. One number for the Patient Interview. One number for the program. $5,000 total. No surprise bills, no claim denials, no negotiations with a benefits department six weeks after the visit.
THE HONEST EXPLANATION
We left the insurance model because the insurance model does not pay for the work that solves chronic pain.
Insurance reimburses procedure codes. The codes that pay are short visits, single-modality treatments, and standardized rehab. The codes that do not pay are the things that actually solve chronic pain · ninety-minute supervised visits, stacked modalities chosen by a sub-score, qEEG and WAVI assessments, transcranial photobiomodulation, vagus stimulation, and VR-based graded exposure.
To deliver care that works, we had to leave the model that does not pay for care that works. So we did. The patient who arrives at our door is paying for the entire stack · not the slice insurance approves.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
We do not bill insurance, accept HSA or FSA, or provide out-of-network documentation.
We will not submit claims, we will not run benefits checks, and we cannot provide superbills or out-of-network documentation for self-submission. Payment is direct, in full or in installments, at the point of care.
YOUR FIRST CONVERSATION WITH US
A 30-minute Patinet Interview. $200 at application. $200 only if accepted.
The Patient Interview is how every patient enters the practice. It is a 30-minute paid consultation with Dr. Mark T. Wade or Dr. Krista Burns. They review your history, walk you through what your full assessment would look like, explain the scope of the program for your case, and confirm enrollment.
The total cost of the Exam is $400 · split in two. You pay $200 at the time of application to hold the appointment. If you are not accepted into the program this is refunded to you the same day. You pay the second $200 (for the exam) only if the doctor accepts you as a patient on the call. We make the decision on the call · you will not have to wait two business days to hear back from us.
AT APPLICATION · $200
Paid when you book the Patient Interview.
Your $200 application fee secures your spot on the doctor's calendar. It is a paid clinical consultation. If you are accepted as a patient, this $200 is applied to your exam fee.
IF THE DOCTOR ACCEPTS YOU · $200
Paid only after the doctor confirms you are a fit.
The second $200 is collected only if Dr. Wade or Dr. Burns determines on the call that you are a clinical fit for the program. The full $400 is then applied to your exam invoice as a credit towards the program if you enroll.
IF WE ARE NOT A FIT
We tell you on the call. No second $200 charged.
If the doctor determines our program is not the right fit for your case, the second $200 is never charged. You receive your first $200 refunded if you're not accepted as a patient · the time was real clinical time spent on your case and you walk away with a written next-step recommendation.
WHAT THE PROGRAM COSTS
Two numbers. That is the whole thing.
The Posture Clinic is a cash-pay practice. There is a fee for your Exam and Discovery Day, and there is a fee for the program. No per-visit billing, no session passes, no surprise charges, no claim denials.
Exam and Discovery Day · $400
Forty-plus clinical tests, your five scores, your Optimal Vitality Score, your Pain Profile, and your Report of Findings delivered the same day. Your $400 Patient Interview fee applies in full against this.
The Program · $5,500
Everything from your first program visit through discharge. Every clinic visit. Every modality your case calls for. Every re-measurement. Every written report. Your home protocol. Your discharge plan and Longevity handoff.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Not a per-visit fee. Not a session pass. Not a subscription.
You are not paying us to keep coming back. You are paying us to deliver a finite, measured program with a defined endpoint. When you discharge, the program is complete.
WHAT THE PROGRAM TOTAL COVERS
Everything between baseline and discharge.
The program total is a single fee that covers the full clinical arc · baseline assessment, every clinic visit during the twelve weeks, every modality required by your case, the phase gate re-tests, the discharge composite, the maintenance plan handoff, and the post-discharge check-ins.
INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM TOTAL

HOW PAYMENT WORKS
Pay in full, or finance through CareCredit.
Patients have two ways to pay for the program. Both options are presented during the Patient Interview, with full written terms in the enrollment agreement.
PAY IN FULL
One payment at enrollment.
You are not paying us to keep coming back. You are paying us to deliver a finite, measured program with a defined endpoint. When you discharge, the program is complete.
FINANCE THROUGH CARECREDIT
Third-party patient financing.
The Posture Clinic does not offer in-house payment plans. Patients who prefer to spread payments out apply directly to CareCredit, a third-party patient financing company that serves healthcare. Approved patients use their CareCredit account to pay the clinic in full at enrollment and then repay CareCredit on their own terms. Application, approval, and repayment are entirely between the patient and CareCredit · The Posture Clinic does not service the loan.
PAYMENT METHODS
Card, ACH, check, or CareCredit at enrollment.
We accept all major credit cards, ACH bank transfer, check, and CareCredit. We do NOT accept HSA or FSA payment. We do NOT submit insurance claims and we do NOT provide out-of-network documentation for self-submission.
WHAT WE PROMISE
We will not let cost stand in your way.
This is not a tagline. It is a written policy. If a patient is clinically appropriate for the program but $5,500 is genuinely outside their reach, Dr. Wade and Dr. Burns work with the patient to find a path · helping them apply to CareCredit, walking them through what CareCredit approval typically looks like, or in some cases adjusting the scope of the protocol to fit the budget the patient can actually meet.
We will not enroll a patient into a financial commitment that ruins them. And we will not turn away a patient who clearly needs this program just because the standard path is not a fit. The way we adjust is the conversation we have on the Patient Interview call.
We will not let cost stand in your way.
· The promise we hold ourselves to
HONEST SCOPE ON COSTS
Costs outside the program total.
Most patients will have no costs beyond the program total. Some cases require items that fall outside our scope. We list them here so there are no surprises.
-
Outside laboratory work · blood, hormone, genomic, or other lab testing if your case calls for it (we refer to an outside lab and you pay them directly)
-
Outside imaging · MRI, CT, ultrasound diagnostics if your case calls for it (we refer and you pay the imaging facility directly)
-
Supplement purchases · we publish exactly what to buy and where to buy it but we do not sell supplements out of the clinic
-
Custom orthotics · the PodoScan and fabrication carry a separate fee that is confirmed only if indicated for your case
-
Optional Longevity maintenance membership after discharge · one set low monthly fee · always optional, never automatic
- Re-entry after a future flare · a reduced-rate option that is decided at a re-entry consultation if applicable
THE WRITTEN POLICY
You will not be trapped in a program that is not working.
Our refund policy is built around the discharge-by-score promise. If the numbers say the program is not working, we adjust, refer, or end the program · we do not extend it to chase numbers. The same applies to a patient who decides for personal reasons to discontinue.
PROGRAM NOT WORKING
If we end the program because the numbers are not moving.
If at any gate Dr. Wade and Dr. Burns determine that the program is not producing the expected response and the case has been adjusted appropriately, we will offer the patient the option to end the program with a refund of unused care · the $5,500 program total minus the value of services rendered to date, calculated against our published per-modality rates.
PATIENT DISCONTINUES
If you decide to stop for personal reasons.
If a patient decides for any reason to discontinue, they may request a refund of unused care calculated against the same published per-modality rates. The schedule and method of refund are confirmed in the enrollment agreement.
PATIENT INTERVIEW FEE
Split into two payments.
The Patient Interview fee is a clinical consultation. $200 is paid at the time of application to hold the appointment. The second $200 is charged only if the doctor accepts you as a patient on the call. If you keep the appointment, the full $400 is applied to your exam if you decide to proceed. The $200 application fee is refundable if you are not accepted as a patient.
