FAQs
Do you accept insurance?
NO, WE DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE FOR OUR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE VISITS AND PROGRAMS
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, and financing options.
Why don’t you accept insurance?
Unfortunately, when doctors participate with insurance carriers, they enter into a contract allowing the insurance companies to dictate what services will be supplied, limiting the quality of care we believe you deserve. As the costs of keeping a clinic running have continued to rise, reimbursement has fallen, forcing most doctors to see more patients daily, keeping office visits very brief. We believe this approach of seeing patients for shortened visit times does not allow us to create the personalized plan of care necessary in a functional or integrative approach.
Who is a typical Functional Medicine patient?
Anyone who wants to take control of their health! Patients vary in complexity and health goals. We help people with complex chronic diseases, such as autoimmune disease, chronic health conditions, arthritis, fatigue, low energy, brain fog, pain, and weakness (to name a few), approach their disease to heal from the inside out. We also require you to continue following and working with your primary care physician and specialists before discontinuing or changing your current medications as we get to the underlying cause of these issues.
What do treatments entail?
Our treatment focuses on lifestyle intervention, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Herbals and nutraceuticals/supplements may be prescribed to help support your body based on personalized needs and depending on disease and symptom severity. A trusting relationship between patient and practitioner is paramount and a precious tool available to promote health and healing.
Are you my primary physician?
NO, you are required to have a primary care physician. We only offer functional medicine care and do not function as your primary physician. You must have a primary care physician for yearly physicals, wellness visits, and after-hours or urgent care purposes. We do not respond to urgent requests, including messages or phone calls; you must have a primary care physician for this purpose.
