Yes. Lakes Region Internal Medicine requires a three-month initial commitment. After that period, membership continues with automatic monthly withdrawals. Members who pay by credit card incur a $5 monthly processing fee, which the practice waives for lump sum payers.

Membership includes unlimited 60-minute appointments with no co-pays for exams. Members also receive direct access to Dr. Kallmerten by phone and text, telehealth visits, same-day or next-day scheduling, annual exams, preventive screenings, chronic care management, and in-house procedures. Certain procedures and add-on services carry additional charges.

Lakes Region Internal Medicine does not bill insurance. As a direct primary care provider, the practice opts out of insurance reimbursement, including Medicare. The practice strongly recommends that members maintain separate insurance coverage for lab testing, imaging, specialist referrals, and hospital care. Members with high-deductible plans can access discounted lab testing through Quest Labs.

Members reach Dr. Kallmerten directly by phone or text. Many concerns resolve through a quick conversation or a discussed care plan. When needed, he transitions phone contact to a telehealth visit or schedules an in-person appointment for more complex issues.
