However, we do NOT prescribe or carry and Opioids (Schedule II Narcotics), Stimulants (Schedule II Controlled Substances), or Medical Marijuana (Schedule 1 Controlled Drug).

+ Do you take health insurance?

No, we are unable to take health insurance. Insurance companies would restrict our approach for more comprehensive care and put limitations on certain procedures, tests and cost rates. Insurance companies would also limit visits to short, 5 to 10 minute appointments, and most importantly they do not cover services considered holistic or integrative. We have found that chronic health conditions require an in-depth history review, examination, evaluation and follow-up to be able to properly address and treat the root cause of said problems. By leaving out the insurance companies, we can provide you with whatever medical care we would deem necessary, based on our extensive medical backgrounds and certifications. Our office will provide you with the standardized form, “super bill” at your request to be given to the health insurance companies for you to submit yourself. Depending on the insurance company and your specific insurance plan, part of the services may be covered. Often this depends on your deductible and out of network coverage. With the ever changing state of health insurance, we can offer no guarantees of possible coverage.

+ What is your cancelation or no-show policy?

We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work or family. However, when you do not call to cancel an appointment, you may be preventing another patient from getting much needed treatment. Conversely, the situation may arise where another patient fails to cancel and we are unable to schedule you for a visit, due to a seemingly “full” appointment book. If an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance you will be charged a twenty five dollar ($50) fee.

It is recommended to take your recent Medical Records, Lab and/or Diagnostic Tests, Evaluations, and anything you think may be useful to provide you best care.

+ Why does my new patient/initial intake paperwork need to be in, in advance of my appointment?

Our doctors and medical team want to be as prepared as possible to treat you. Our paperwork is very extensive, and will require thought and time for you to fill it out thoroughly. Our doctors then review your information before your appointment.

+ How many visits are required?

Visits will vary based on need, diagnosis, and response to treatment. This is why we often recommend a membership program after the initial two visits. After the first two visits we will often have a good idea of the necessity of visits. With this model we can really impress Docere, Doctor as teacher.

+ Why do you require that I come in for an appointment to review lab results?

After examination we will often recommend tests to provide more information about your health. There is usually a great deal of information in these lab results. We desire to review these results with you to discuss diagnosis, treatments, and other follow-up tests. Getting to the root causes of chronic health conditions is challenging and we are committed to working with you to discover causes and solutions for your health concerns.
