Patient Safety & Model of Care Policy

Men’s Wellness Centers, LLC

Effective Date: December 15, 2025

Last Updated: December 15, 2025

1. Our Philosophy of Care

Men’s Wellness Centers, LLC is founded on an unwavering commitment to patient safety, evidence-based medicine, and the integrity of the patient-provider relationship. This document outlines our model of care, which is designed to meet the highest standards of medical practice and regulatory compliance. Our policies are not just rules; they are the framework that ensures every patient receives safe, responsible, and effective care.

2. Our Model of Care: In-Person Evaluation Required

Our model of care is built on the foundational principle that legitimate medical care requires a direct, in-person evaluation. We believe this is essential for accurate diagnosis and the development of a safe and appropriate treatment plan.

Mandatory In-Person Medical Evaluation

A comprehensive, in-person medical evaluation with one of our Virginia-licensed healthcare providers is an absolute prerequisite to receiving any treatment. No prescriptions will be issued without this initial evaluation.

No Telemedicine-Only Prescribing

We do not issue prescriptions based on online questionnaires or remote-only consultations. Our practice is not a “telemedicine” or “online pharmacy” service. All prescribing decisions are made in the context of an established patient-provider relationship that begins with an in-person visit.

3. Scope of Services

Men’s Wellness Centers, LLC is a specialty medical practice focused on men’s health and wellness. It is important for patients to understand both the services we provide and the limitations of our practice.

What We Do

We provide specialized medical services within our area of expertise at our physical clinic locations.

What We Do Not Do

We are not a primary care practice and do not provide emergency medical services. Patients are expected to maintain a relationship with a primary care provider for their general health needs.

4. Prescription and Controlled Substance Policy

Our prescribing practices are designed to be fully compliant with all federal and state laws, including those set forth by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Valid Prescriptions Only

All prescriptions are issued for a legitimate medical purpose by a licensed provider acting in the usual course of professional practice after an in-person medical evaluation.

Controlled Substance Compliance

When the medical evaluation indicates that a treatment involves a medication classified as a controlled substance, we adhere to the strictest regulatory standards. In accordance with the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008 and its implementing regulations, the prescribing of controlled substances requires an in-person medical evaluation. Our model of care is explicitly designed to comply with this federal mandate.

5. Adverse Event Reporting

Patient safety is our highest priority. If you experience any unexpected side effects from a medication prescribed by our practice, please contact us immediately.

We are also required to encourage the reporting of adverse events to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You can do so through the FDA MedWatch program.

6. Medical Oversight and Governance

All clinical services are provided under the direct supervision of our licensed medical staff to ensure the highest quality of care.
