Personalized Preventive Medicine Rooted in Evidence, Relationships, and Lifelong Care

Plotline Health takes a proactive, preventative approach rather than the reactive "disease care" model of traditional medicine. We combine cutting-edge diagnostics with deeply personal care, focusing on preventing illness and optimizing wellness throughout your entire life. Our approach integrates your genetic blueprint, lifestyle, goals, and comprehensive medical work up to create a personalized roadmap for optimal health.

Most diseases develop over years, such as atherosclerotic heart disease and insulin resistance. As such, Preventative Medicine focuses on preventing disease and promoting wellness before problems arise, rather than simply treating illness after it occurs. At Plotline Health, we use advanced diagnostics, genetic testing, and personalized treatment plans to identify and address potential health risks early, helping you maintain optimal health throughout your life.

Our physical practice is located in Birmingham, AL. We are currently licensed in the states of AL, GA, FL, ID. We have many patients travel to us for care and can see patients from any state but those visits need to happen in the state of AL. We do all of our intake appointments in person at our office. Follow-up appointments can be virtual or in person. If you live in a state that we are not currently licensed in we can still do virtual visits but you need to be within AL state lines at the time of that visit. We are constantly expanding and will be adding new states so please let us know where you live!

We do not accept commercial insurance at this time. Most of our advanced diagnostic tests and comprehensive wellness services are not fully covered by traditional insurance. We'll work with you to understand your coverage and discuss any out-of-pocket costs upfront.

We are going through the process of becoming a credentialed Medicare practice and should be able to see Medicare patients Q1 2026.

Currently, we primarily serve adults (18+) due to the specialized nature of our advanced genetic testing and preventative medicine protocols. However, we're exploring options to serve younger patients in the future and can discuss family health strategies that benefit the whole household.

While your parents would need to be patients to receive direct medical care, we can provide healthcare navigation assistance and help you be a better advocate for your family members' health needs. We can also help coordinate care and communicate with their existing healthcare providers.

The timeline for results varies based on your individual health goals and starting point. Many patients notice improvements in energy and well-being within the first few months, while more significant biomarker changes typically occur over 6-12 months. We'll set realistic expectations and track progress throughout your journey.

Achieving optimal health requires commitment from both you and our team. We typically recommend an initial commitment of at least 6-12 months to see meaningful results, as this allows time for comprehensive testing, plan implementation, and measurable changes to occur.

The best way to get started is to contact us directly to schedule your initial consultation. We'll discuss your health goals and determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Please bring:

• Current medications and supplements list
• Previous lab results and medical records
• Insurance information
• A list of your health goals and any specific concerns

The frequency of follow-ups depends on your individual needs and health goals. Some patients benefit from quarterly visits, while others may need more or less frequent monitoring. We'll work together to determine the optimal schedule for you.

Yes, we can provide home or office visits within a reasonable driving distance for our providers. This service is particularly valuable for busy executives or when you prefer the convenience of receiving care in your own environment. Contact us to discuss availability in your area.

Absolutely! We believe in collaborative care and will work closely with your existing healthcare team. We'll share relevant information with your other providers (with your permission) and coordinate care to ensure you receive comprehensive, well-integrated healthcare.

This depends on your specific needs and preferences. Our comprehensive approach can serve as your primary care for many aspects of your care, but many patients choose to maintain relationships with existing providers while adding our specialized preventative services. We'll help you determine what works best for your situation.

Yes, our physicians can prescribe medications when appropriate for your health optimization plan. We do not prescribe certain controlled substances. We'll discuss any medication needs during your consultation.

We offer transparent, package-based pricing to meet different needs and budgets:

• Advanced Cardiac Screening: Comprehensive heart health evaluation
• Executive Physical: Our most complete single assessment with full-body imaging and testing
• Annual Concierge Membership: Premium ongoing care with unlimited access and continuous monitoring

All packages include physician consultations, results review, and personalized health planning. We're transparent about all costs upfront and will work with you to create a plan that fits your budget while meeting your health goals. Detailed pricing information can be found on our website.

While we share some similarities with concierge medicine (personalized care, unhurried appointments, comprehensive approach), our focus is specifically on preventative medicine and wellness optimization. We believe everyone deserves healthcare that actually cares, regardless of membership fees.

We understand that comprehensive testing can be an investment. We'll work with you to prioritize the most important tests based on your individual risk factors and health goals. Our approach is flexible and can be adapted to work within your budget.

Yes, most of our services are eligible for HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) reimbursement. However, since plans vary, we recommend checking with your HSA/FSA administrator to confirm your specific plan's requirements. We'll provide detailed receipts and documentation to support your reimbursement requests.

Absolutely. Your executives can access any of our concierge services that we currently offer, but we understand that your company's leadership may require different levels of care. We can design tiered programs that provide comprehensive concierge care for your top executives while offering focused cardiac and metabolic screening for your broader leadership team. We’ll work with you to determine the right level of testing, physician access, and ongoing monitoring for each tier, ensuring you maximize value while meeting the specific health needs and risk profiles of different leadership levels.

Medical privacy is paramount. All health information is protected under HIPAA regulations and our strict confidentiality protocols. Your executives’ individual health results are never shared with the company—only aggregate, de-identified program metrics if requested for wellness reporting. Each executive maintains complete control over their personal health data. Additionally, genetic information is protected under GINA (Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act), preventing its use in employment or health insurance decisions. You receive peace of mind knowing your investment in executive health is protected with the highest privacy standards.

Early detection is precisely why this program exists. If we identify any urgent health concerns, we immediately notify the executive and coordinate rapid access to top-tier specialists for further evaluation and treatment. Our physicians provide comprehensive care coordination, ensuring your leader receives the best possible care without navigating the healthcare system alone. Many serious conditions we detect—such as coronary artery blockages, early-stage cancers, or aneurysms—are completely asymptomatic but highly treatable when caught early. Our proactive approach has literally saved lives, allowing executives to address health issues before they become career-ending or life-threatening emergencies.

We’ve designed our executive physicals with busy leaders in mind. The process begins with an initial comprehensive intake assessment where we conduct a detailed health history review, perform a thorough health risk analysis, and collaboratively establish personalized longevity goals aligned with each patient's priorities and lifestyle. We consolidate all of our diagnostic testing into a 3 hour block at our imaging partner facility, conducted in a single appointment to minimize disruption. Follow-up appointments are flexible and can be scheduled virtually or in-person based on your executives’ preferences and travel schedules. For companies enrolling multiple executives, we can coordinate testing days and block scheduling to accommodate your team’s calendar. Our goal is to provide world-class preventative care without sacrificing productivity.

Consider what happens when a key leader suffers a sudden cardiac event or receives a late-stage cancer diagnosis. Beyond the human cost, your company faces immediate market volatility, operational disruption, and the loss of irreplaceable institutional knowledge. These scenarios play out more often than boardrooms want to admit. Prevention costs far less than crisis. When you identify a significant coronary blockage before the heart attack, or catch cancer at stage one instead of stage four, you’re not just saving medical expenses—you’re preserving leadership continuity. Your executives make better decisions when they’re not managing undiagnosed health issues. They show up consistently instead of burning through sick days. They stay with your organization longer because they feel valued and supported.

The companies that get this right see something remarkable: their leaders actually perform better. Sharper thinking. More sustained energy. Fewer unexpected absences. That’s not just good healthcare—it’s smart business strategy.

Your initial consultation will be comprehensive and unhurried. We'll review your complete health history, discuss your goals, and begin the process of understanding your unique health profile. This may include initial diagnostic testing and the development of your personalized wellness plan.

Unlike traditional healthcare where appointments are rushed, we take the time needed to properly address your health. Initial consultations are typically longer, and follow-up appointments are scheduled with adequate time to discuss your progress and any concerns. You can expect appointments to usually be around an hour. We purposefully build into our schedule some wiggle room so we can cover what we need to and maximize your time.

Our team includes Dr. AJ Burandt (specializing in cardiometabolic disease prevention), Dr. Jeremy Rogers (preventative medicine with expertise in functional training and nutrition), and Lyndsy Kinghorn (Nurse Practitioner specializing in gut health and hormone balance). You'll work closely with the provider best suited to your specific needs.

We strive to provide timely access to care. While our comprehensive approach may require advance planning for some services, we work to accommodate urgent needs and questions as they arise.

Absolutely. We don't just run tests—we help you understand what they mean for your health. We'll explain your results in clear, understandable terms and show you how they inform your personalized wellness plan.

We take your privacy extremely seriously. Your genetic and health data is protected by strict security protocols and HIPAA regulations. We only share information with parties you explicitly authorize. Under the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA), genetic information cannot be used against you by health insurers or employers.

While we appreciate that you may have previous genetic testing from companies like 23andMe or AncestryDNA, our approach requires specific genetic markers (SNPs) that we've selected for their clinical relevance to preventative medicine. These may not be included in consumer genetic tests, so we typically use our own comprehensive genetic analysis for the most accurate personalized recommendations.

We provide comprehensive diagnostic testing including:

• Genetic Testing: We analyze over 500 genetic markers (SNPs) for disease risk and health optimization. We also have advanced hereditary cancer screening capability.
• Advanced Cardiac Screening: Cleerly Coronary CT Angiogram, Calcium Scoring, Echocardiogram
• Whole Body MRI: Complete body evaluation including brain analysis (NeuroQuant), spine evaluation, body composition and bone density
• Advanced Lab Panels: Comprehensive biomarkers and cutting-edge laboratory testing
• Specialized Imaging: Low-dose CT chest for lung cancer screening, Carotid artery ultrasound with CIMT
• Continuous Monitoring: Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and wearable devices like Oura Ring
• And much more based on your individual needs

We integrate multiple data points including your genetic testing results, comprehensive lab work, family history, lifestyle factors, personal goals, and health story. This complete picture allows us to create a truly personalized roadmap for your optimal wellness, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We offer several comprehensive packages to meet different needs and budgets:

• Advanced Cardiac Screening Package - Focused on comprehensive heart health evaluation including genetic testing, advanced imaging, and cardiac-specific diagnostics.
• Executive Physical Package - Our most comprehensive single evaluation including full-body MRI, genetic testing, advanced cardiac screening, lung cancer screening, and nutritionist evaluation.
• Concierge Membership - Our premium annual membership providing unlimited access to our physicians, all diagnostic testing, ongoing monitoring with wearable devices, 24/7 physician access, and continuous health optimization. All concierge patients receive a complimentary Oura ring with their membership.

We also offer specialized add-on packages for fitness assessment (including vO2 max), sleep evaluation, and enhanced nutritional counseling to further customize your care.

Yes! Our approach goes far beyond one-time testing. We provide:

• Continuous health monitoring through wearable devices (included in our concierge membership)
• In-depth data analytics through our quantified-self platform
• Regular follow-up appointments to track progress
• Ongoing plan adjustments based on new data and results
• 24/7 physician access (available with concierge membership)
• Specialist referrals and care coordination when needed
• Ongoing nutritional counseling and supplement management

We work with patients at all stages of their health journey. While our focus is prevention, we also help manage existing conditions with a comprehensive approach that addresses root causes, not just symptoms. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible outcomes and prevent further complications.

Yes, we offer telehealth options for many follow-up appointments and consultations. While initial comprehensive evaluations and certain diagnostic tests require in-person visits, we can conduct many ongoing consultations virtually for your convenience.

You'll have access to view your medical records and test results through our patient portal at any time. We can also securely send records to you or other healthcare providers with your permission—just contact us by phone, email, or through the portal.

Turnaround times vary by test type. Standard lab work typically takes 3-5 days, while more specialized genetic testing may take 4-6 weeks. We'll always communicate expected timelines upfront and notify you as soon as results are available.
