Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions.

Prime Life Wellness Institute is a direct-pay telehealth practice for Florida residents who want a physician with the time to look deeper. Here's what people usually ask before getting started.

Is this you?

Who Prime Life is for

People come to us when they want more than a quick prescription. It tends to be a good fit if you:

  • Want to improve your energy, metabolism, body composition, or sleep
  • Are curious about hormone health and evidence-based optimization
  • Value prevention and root-cause thinking over reactive care
  • Want a physician who is genuinely reachable between visits
  • Live in Florida and are comfortable meeting by secure video

If you are managing a complex or acute medical condition, we work alongside your primary care physician rather than replacing them.

Common questions

What prospective patients ask

The basics

What does Prime Life focus on?

We are a metabolic and hormone health practice. We also help with hormone-related concerns such as PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, and andropause (the gradual drop in testosterone with age). Our work spans hormone optimization, medical weight loss, and steady energy, including your body composition and metabolic markers, the nutrition, movement, and lifestyle habits that shape them, and bioidentical hormone therapy when it is clinically appropriate. Every plan is personalized to your goals and your labs.

Who is a good fit?

Adults who want a proactive, personalized approach and a physician with time to go deep. Many of our patients are focused on prevention, healthy aging, and simply feeling better day to day. If you want a partner in your long-term health rather than a single visit, it is worth a conversation.

Are you a replacement for my primary care doctor?

No. We are an adjunct to your primary care, not a replacement. Please keep seeing your primary care physician for annual physicals, screenings, vaccinations, acute illness, and anything outside our scope. We are glad to coordinate when it helps.

How care works

How are visits done?

Care is delivered by secure video visit, so you can meet with Dr. Algashaamy from wherever you are in Florida. Visits currently take place on weekends. Your first visit is a 2-hour health exam, and routine visits after that run about an hour, with check-ins in between.

How often will we meet?

Care is built around regular health visits through the year, roughly every three months, with check-ins in between. The rhythm is designed to actually track your progress rather than leaving long gaps. If you want the specifics for your situation, the next step is to see if we are a fit.

How does payment work?

Prime Life is direct-pay, so your care is not billed to insurance, and there is no long-term contract. Keeping it direct is part of what lets visits stay unhurried and lets you work directly with your own physician. We walk you through the full structure before you ever start.

Practical details

Do you take insurance?

We are direct-pay, which means we do not bill insurance for your visits. That is part of what lets us keep visits unhurried. Payments may be HSA, FSA, or HRA eligible, subject to approval by your plan administrator.

Where do you practice?

We are a telehealth practice serving Florida residents. To become a patient, you will need to be located in Florida.

Is care physician-led?

Yes. Care is led by Dr. Khaled Algashaamy, a board-certified physician trained in bioidentical hormone therapy and obesity medicine, with a focus on metabolic health. You work directly with Dr. Algashaamy, not a rotating staff.
