Although we are a self-pay practice, our staff is experienced with health insurance and we can assist you to maximize your benefits. Our treatments may be covered by your health insurance at your out-of-network benefits rate. We will be happy to provide you with the proper documentation and billing necessary for you to submit your documentation to your carrier for reimbursement. We work with many lab companies and we use insurance for lab tests. Since all insurance plans are different, we encourage you to contact your carrier to verify your own out-of-network benefits.
Patients are required to pay for treatment at the time of service. Our staff will provide you with documentation for you to submit to your health insurance provider for possible reimbursement, depending on your insurance plan.
Because insurance companies reimburse according to procedure codes, insurance plans are generally designed to cover “sick care,” as opposed to the type of wellness care that functional medicine offers. Unfortunately, many insurance plans are not designed to recognize our wellness services.
We are intentional with our time and our patients. We don’t let things like conventional time slots interfere with delivering quality care.
By electing an out-of-network provider, it allows us to perform multiple treatments during one office visit.
Because Functional medicine is an innovative approach to wellness, many of our treatment plans aren’t recognized as standard care to certain insurance providers. We remain hopeful that insurance providers will recognize functional medicine as standard care.
