FAQ
Common questions. Direct answers.
Where Vital Capacity stands now, how the model works, and what is still being decided.
Current status
In development. Not accepting patients.
Right now
Is Vital Capacity accepting patients?
No. It is in development, with no opening date, application or waitlist.
What can I use today?
The 7 Tests reference, the Capacity Quiz and the essays on Substack. They are educational and don't replace care from your own clinician.
What if my issue is acute or urgent?
Vital Capacity is not a care option. For an emergency, call emergency services. For urgent or routine concerns, contact your own clinician or urgent care.
The model
Would this replace primary care?
No. It is built to sit alongside your primary care physician, who stays your first call for acute problems and routine care.
What does the model include?
Medical history and records, testing chosen for the clinical question, a physical and movement assessment, and a written plan. Follow-up when it adds value.
Would my coach or dietitian be involved?
Coordination with your existing coach or dietitian is part of the model: the physician sets the medical constraints, and they program within them.
Still being decided
What will it cost? Will insurance cover it?
Pricing and payment are not set. This site is not an offer of care.
Where will it be, and how much will run on telehealth?
Location, telehealth and visit timing are not set.
Will there be a patient cap?
Yes. The practice is capped on purpose so the physician can know each patient. The number isn't set.
