No. Functional medicine is not typically reimbursed by insurance at this time. By opting out of insurance, this allows me to provide you with visits that are unhurried, thorough, and reflective of the comprehensive care central to the functional medicine model.
Patients can use their flex plans or HSA accounts to pay for services with me. I can provide a superbill that you can submit for reimbursement.
No. It is important that you see your primary care provider regularly so that they can handle ordering important screening tests (like mammograms, colonoscopies, etc.). I do not provide urgent/same day care that might require immediate interventions including hospitalization.
I am more of a health consultant that works with you to educate you and help you achieve your health goals. I am open to communicating with other members of your healthcare team in order to provide continuity of care.
