In 2002, Envita was doing business as Natural Medical Centers of Arizona in Phoenix.
In October 2003, Natural Medical Centers of Arizona was set up as a corporation, aka Natural Medical Centers of America. Dino Prato Santo is listed as the president.
Envita took out a $972,000 SBA loan in October 2004 and in January 2005, they announced their move to a much larger facility in Scottsdale. On March 1, 2005 Envita opened for business in Scottsdale at their current location.
There are at least two other companies associated with Envita.
Natural Immunity Centers, LLC was incorporated in April 2003 and renamed to Envita Lifestyles, LLC in February 2006. Envita Lifestyle’s website, envitalifestyle.com, is used to sell their supplements.
Envita Biologicals, LLC was formed in February 2007 "to purchase, sell, develop, manage, invest in and otherwise deal in medical and biological products, within and outside the State of Arizona, subject to such laws and regulations governing licensing and other requirements pertinent thereto, on its own benefit and for the accounts of others and for the transaction of any lawful business or act."
The Fullness of Life Foundation (FOLF) was founded in 2005 to "provide provide educational services involving homeopathic, naturopathic, and integrative health remedies", the health services offered at Envita. Prato Santo was listed as president of FOLF in 2006, Sandy Yozipovich was listed as president in 2007.
Management of both Envita Lifestyles and Envita Biologicals is assigned to Clinic Masters LP, a practice management and consulting firm.
In two reports written by Stephen Barrat M.D. he says of Clinic Masters:
Clinic Masters promotes the idea that higher income means greater service to patients. Such service includes charging for each adjustment or other unit of treatment instead of a flat office fee, an overall “case” fee instead of charging per visit, and “intensive care,” which adds room or ward fees to the bill. In 1974, 132 of its clients reported charging an average of $129.43 per day for intensive care.
Clinic Masters apparently wants the details of its advice to remain a private matter. Its clients sign a secrecy agreement and new applicants are checked against directory lists to make sure that they really are chiropractors. It also offers a $10,000 reward to anyone who is first to report “disparaging statements about Clinic Masters or its clients” which lead to a successful lawsuit.
In 1978, Clinic Masters advertised that three thousand chiropractors had enrolled in its program and increased their incomes, on average, more than $50,000 a year. Its fee for a program of seminars and ongoing consultation was $20,000-$100 initially and the rest payable as income rose. Its seminars included “How To Increase Insurance Business $100,000 Or More A Year” and “How To Achieve The ‘Optimum Gettable’ With Every Patient.”
