These are low-premium plans – also known as catastrophic insurance – specifically designed to cover the cost of unpredictable events that fall outside the scope of primary care. Highland Urgent Care & Family Medicine can refer you to a trusted independent insurance agent if needed.

Precision Cellular Therapy
Looking to boost energy, accelerate recovery, and support brain health? Join our signature 90-minute program.
Start Your Morning Strong
Fuel Your Day with Precision Cellular Therapy
Step 1 – Restore antioxidant defenses and mitochondrial function with a Glutathione + B-vitamin IV Infusion.
Step 2 – Stimulate specialized nanoparticle (ATP) production by improving mitochondrial function with Near Infra-Red (NIR) / Red Light Therapy.
Step 3 – Deliver oxygen deep into tissue to support healing through Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
Why it matters: HBOT increases oxygen partial pressure, enhancing perfusion and tissue repair. NIR boosts cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria—your cellular energy factories.
Personalized Brain Health
Worried about your memory? Are you at high risk for dementia? Get personalized support for a healthy brain.Early Clarity Starts Here
