Yes, we have access to a variety of functional and conventional lab panels.

Functional lab panels are often not covered by insurance, and our clinic does not bill for labs.

For general labs that might have insurance coverage, we often encourage clients to request labs from their primary care physician, and we can provide you with the names of the labs that would be most helpful to your care with us.

Often, there is a lot we can do without the use of expensive lab panels.

A limited list of the many panels we have access to: comprehensive stool testing, organic acid testing, mediator release testing for food sensitivities, comprehensive micronutrient testing, basic labs direct to consumer, hormone panels (can vary day to day so trends are best), inflammatory markers, & more.

Medicare only covers Medical Nutrition Therapy for Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease, or Obesity if done in a clinic that has a physician on staff.

Our clinic specializes in digestive health, so most of our clients with Medicare would not receive coverage anyway.

Please note, that if you have Medicare with a supplement insurance (like BCBS), your supplement insurance will likely not cover, because Medicare will deny.

We do offer self pay options.

Yes.

If you have an insurance that has Medical Nutrition Therapy coverage, but our clinic does not have a contract with your insurance, we can create a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance on the backend, in hopes that you might receive coverage.

We can not guarantee you'll receive coverage in these situations, but we have had clients have success. You will have to self-pay at our clinic, for us to provide a Superbill to you (you can think of the Superbill as a receipt for what you have paid, and it is the tool you will use to send to your insurance for your insurance to see, and to then send money directly to you, for reimbursement).
