Pure Cardiology

No. Pure Cardiology serves both patients with established cardiometabolic conditions and those seeking to proactively reduce long-term cardiovascular risk. Many members join to assess heart attack and stroke risk before any diagnosis exists. Dr. Stephenson focuses on prevention and early risk identification as much as ongoing disease management.

Pure Cardiology charges a monthly membership fee of $275. That fee covers extended consultations, secure digital access, care coordination, and enhanced preventive care planning. The practice bills covered medical services and diagnostic testing separately to Medicare when applicable. Private insurance does not apply to the membership fee.

Pure Cardiology participates with Medicare for covered clinical services and diagnostic imaging. The practice does not contract with private insurance carriers. The monthly membership fee covers non-covered services only. Members remain responsible for any applicable deductibles, coinsurance, or non-covered costs.

Pure Cardiology operates as a virtual-first hybrid practice. Dr. Stephenson conducts most consultations via high-definition video visits through a secure clinical platform. He schedules in-person evaluations and diagnostic testing when clinically indicated. Members also have direct digital access to Dr. Stephenson for cardiometabolic questions and follow-up between visits.

Yes. Pure Cardiology requires all members to maintain a separate primary care physician. Dr. Stephenson serves as your cardiovascular and cardiometabolic specialist, not your general practitioner. Your PCP handles routine screenings, acute illnesses, vaccinations, and non-cardiac concerns.

Pure Cardiology offers several cardiovascular imaging services with transparent self-pay pricing. Members pay $275 for a 2-D Echocardiogram with Doppler, $195 for a Carotid Artery Duplex Scan with Carotid IMT, $195 for an Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound, $250 for a Renal Artery Ultrasound, and $185 for a Bilateral Lower Extremity Arterial Doppler. Non-member rates are also available.

No. Pure Cardiology does not provide emergency services. In a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For non-life-threatening urgent concerns, members should contact their primary care physician or a local urgent care facility.

Dr. Stephenson specializes in cardiometabolic risk assessment, clinical lipidology, preventive cardiology, cardiovascular imaging interpretation, and lifestyle and nutritional medicine. He also conducts inflammatory marker analysis, metabolic profiling, and medication and supplement reviews. His approach pairs precision diagnostics with evidence-based lifestyle optimization.
