FAQs

Does your office bill insurance?

Our office is happy to provide you with a superbill that is properly coded to assist you with getting reimbursed after your visit. Unfortunately, we do not bill insurance directly. Many of my patients have been successful with reimbursement, but this is not guaranteed. Additionally, much of the standard blood work and some specialty testing will be covered by insurance. If you require reimbursement, I recommend calling your insurance provider prior to your visit.

When establishing long term care, why is treatment not given on the first visit?

We want to ensure that your treatment plan achieves maximum results when it comes to your health. By separating your intake and your treatment visits, we are able to provide better patient care as it allows me to review all the collected information, including the necessary labs before discussing your treatment options with you. This allows us to determine all medical options available to you, making the most out of your time and money.

Will you work with my other healthcare providers?

As physicians, we are able to serve as your primary care provider or am able to work with your established health care team. We believe that a team-based approach to healthcare is an excellent way to provide patients with exceptional medical care. If you have any additional healthcare providers, please bring  their contact information as well as any recent lab work to your appointment.

Can you order my labs?

Yes, as Naturopathic physicians we are trained to draw blood, order lab work and interpret results in order to develop your treatment plan. We are also able to order many imaging studies such as X-rays, CT or MRI if we feel they are necessary in your care. Please bring any recent blood work with you to your appointment.
