Community Care: Crowdfunded Healthcare
faqs
Do you offer vision and dental?
One annual wellness event per Member per year, costing up to $300, is eligible for crowdfunding without the initial $500 Member Commitment. Eligible wellness events include: primary care wellness exam/physical, including naturopathy; pediatric well-child visits; direct primary care (DPC) membership fee; annual female gynecological exam and labs; dental exam, including cleaning and X-rays; or vision exam.
What is not eligible for funding?
Examples of procedures and treatments that are not eligible for funding include (but are not limited to): cosmetic procedures, long-term prescriptions, and fertility/infertility treatments. Procedures and treatments tied to a pre-existing condition are not eligible for funding in the first and second years of your Membership, and funding is limited in subsequent years.
How do I pay for big healthcare events with Community Care?
The CommunityCare platform is designed to maximize the probability that all Members’ eligible bills can be funded each month. For big, planned bills (like expensive surgeries), we’ll negotiate the cost to a 30-60% discount before the procedure event happens. For big emergency bills, we'll work with our partners to negotiate them after the fact. There is no maximum amount of health care costs you can share with the Community.
What sets you apart from other gyms?
Our head coach and co-owner is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Walter’s expertise lays the foundations for a unique & professional gym environment with effective programming, coaching and emphasis on exercise modification for all individuals. Effective warmups and cool downs help to minimize risk of injury and aide in recovery.
How often do you recommend coming to workout classes?
If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with 2 to 4 classes a week, with the goal of working up to 4-5 a week after your first few months. It may take a while for your body to get used to training at that intensity, so listen to your body and know you will need recovery time between training days. Our first goal is consistency and good mechanics, then intensity. Intensity gets us results but it is unrealistic to give 110% everyday. It is ok to show up to the gym, adjust to how your body feels and dial back the intensity.
Can I shower at the gym?
Yes! We have two ADA accessible restrooms and showers. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and towels.
How do I pay my doctor with Community Care?
When you go to the doctor for a standard appointment, ask for the cash price and pay the bill. For health events greater than $500, you commit to funding the first $500 and can submit a funding request to CommunityCare for anything over that amount. For scheduled services, like labs, imaging, or surgeries, let us know ahead of time. We can contact your doctor and help negotiate pricing before you go. For emergencies, let us know before you pay your bill. Our partners can help you negotiate your emergency bill before it's paid.
Are previously diagnosed or documented health conditions covered?
For previously diagnosed or documented health conditions, no costs associated with the condition(s) are eligible for crowdfunding in the first or second year. Starting in the third year of Membership, up to $25K in bills per year related to previously diagnosed or documented health condition(s) may be submitted for crowdfunding.
How is funding for pregnancies handled?
Member maternity care that is eligible for funding by the Community includes your whole pregnancy through your baby's birth and beyond. All three phases of pregnancy care (prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum) are represented in a single Global Pregnancy health event with a $3000 Member Commitment. Your child’s standard newborn care (first six months) is a separate health event from maternity with a $500 Member Commitment and is included in the baby’s Membership when added as a new Member after birth. If your baby gets sick or has complications at birth, the illness or injury will be treated as a separate health event from this newborn wellness health event.
What kind of exercises can I expect during a workout?
Our class programming will include a good warmup and cool down everyday. Workouts will vary day to day in length and stimulus and will include weightlifting, body weight or gymnastics movements, and/or cardio (monostructural) movements. You can expect things like push-ups, rowing, deadlifts, cleans, and many more movements. Your coach will thoroughly describe each movement and provide you with appropriate options based on your current abilities.
