Invest in Your Health
Here are some questions we hear most often about paying for your treatment at our clinics.
Do you accept insurance?
Unfortunately, most health insurance plans do not cover functional medicine--they are more concerned with treating disease rather than preventing it. However, while your insurance may not cover your visits here outright, they may still cover some of the tests or treatments that we offer.
While we do not bill your insurance directly, we are happy to provide paperwork that you can use to request reimbursement from your insurance. We suggest looking at your policy or speaking to them directly to find out your next steps.
Can I use my HSA to pay for my treatments?
Using your HSA is a great way to cover your functional medicine costs. To qualify for HSA, your treatment needs to fall under these three requirements:
-
The treatment is recommended by a doctor
-
It is treating a specific ailment
-
It is medically necessary
You’ll find that most of our treatments fall under these three requirements. We are happy to provide a letter that outlines how your treatment qualifies. For a full list of what qualifies for HSA, see the IRS’s document here.
Why is genetic testing so expensive? Can’t I just use a cheaper mail-order service?
We’ve found that genetic and genomic testing is absolutely critical to understanding your risk for disease, especially for people over 50. Unfortunately, it is not cheap. Part of the expense is due to our rigorous standards for what labs perform the tests. We only use labs with the highest level of quality and security. All of your results are barcoded so your name is not associated with your results. At our clinic, your results are only stored on paper to protect you from digital breeches.
While mail order services like 23andme do exist, the extent of the testing is severely limited, and their accuracy is lower than we need for medical testing (just 68%).
Why should I pay for functional medicine? Is it worth it?
Traditional western medicine has some incredible strengths, but it also has weaknesses. Part of the problem actually lies with health insurance. Insurance companies often dictate the care that you receive and the amount of time that you spend with your providers. This puts you at a disadvantage--you don’t get the opportunity to really get to know your providers (and vice versa) and get all of your questions answered. Likewise, you miss out on treatments and therapies that could be helpful, but that a corporation has decided you shouldn’t receive. Insurance companies also force providers to focus on reactive care--waiting until you are sick before they will authorize payment.
Conversely, functional medicine is completely focused on your unique needs, with the goal not just to treat your symptoms, but to prevent disease as much as possible. We’ll spend time getting to know you, digging into your biology to find the root causes of your problems, and connect you with the latest, research-based treatments to address your specific needs. Is that worth it? We certainly think so. When you invest in your health, you get paid dividends in a happier, healthier, more active life.
