My insurance says it covers these tests — why are Body for Life panels direct-pay?

Insurance pays for testing to diagnose and treat a condition you already have — usually after symptoms appear or an event like a heart attack, or once cancer, Alzheimer's, or a gut disease has actually been diagnosed. Body for Life testing is preventive and predictive: we test to find risk early, while you are still well, so we can act to keep a condition from developing. Because you do not have a diagnosed condition, there is no covered diagnosis to bill against, and we will not put a false diagnosis on your record to obtain coverage. We also pair your results with advanced, AI-driven predictive analysis and a personalized, tailored prevention plan — care that is beyond the scope of insurance-covered services. That is why these preventive panels are direct-pay.

The Iyer Clinic · Body for Life

One name for your health.
Two ways to care for it.

Q: What is happening to the Stone Springs location?

The Stone Springs office (Wednesdays) closes September 1, 2026. From that date, Wednesday care moves to Iyer Health's main Herndon office at 13505 Dulles Technology Drive, Suite 1A, Herndon, VA 20171. The Sterling office at 21495 Ridgetop Circle, Suite 102, Sterling, VA 20166 is open Thursdays from July 15, 2026. Providers, records, and phone number — (703) 404-5900 — stay the same.

Q: Can I add longevity services without a membership?

Yes. All Body for Life services at Iyer Health — advanced diagnostics, regenerative treatments, functional medicine consults, and aesthetic care — are available à la carte with no membership required. Patients can keep their insurance-covered primary care at The Iyer Clinic and add individual direct-pay longevity services whenever they choose. An optional exclusive annual membership, limited to 100 patients per physician, is available for those who want the deepest level of access.

Iyer Health unites trusted, insurance-based primary care with physician-led longevity and regenerative medicine — one standard of care, two ways to receive it.

Which path is right for you?

Both begin with the same commitment to your health. They differ in how care is designed — and how it's paid for.
