Functional Medicine

This is a common question and rightfully so.

Summarized, we do not take insurance because we do not want insurance telling us how we can and cannot help our patients.

In general, insurance companies are not focused on any preventative or wellness services. They were designed for quick, short-term symptom and disease care and treatment which is heavily invested in the conventional model of health care that too often relies on drugs and surgery.

As Chris Kresser says, “Insurance-based medicine is not evidence-based medicine.” Realize that what our culture calls health care is actually “sick” care, since it has little to do with advancing true health. It’s mostly about suppressing symptoms while ignoring the underlying cause. We are  committed to a vitalistic model that addresses the underlying causes of your symptoms.

Now, if you have a policy it will probably help with at least some of the expense of your sick care. But few policies pay for things that help us keep our health. If they do, yay! We will gladly provide you with the necessary documentation to get reimbursed if you’re willing to file yourself.

The great news is that by not having to deal with insurance companies, office costs are kept down, so we can offer affordable care for you and your whole family. We accept Care Credit  payment at our office and always welcome open and honest conversations about finances. We are here to serve you and will do all that we  can to help!
