FAQS
Do you offer single visits without a membership?
Yes, on a limited basis. Fee-for-service care is available for select patients, such as those seeking a second opinion or stable patients who need only one to two visits per year and do not require ongoing management between visits.
Fee-for-service follow-up visits are scheduled as needed and are billed according to the length of the visit: 30-minute follow-up – $250; 45-minute follow-up – $275.
Fee-for-service care is designed for episodic visits. Clinical questions requiring medical assessment, prescription adjustments, review of new results, or other ongoing management may require a follow-up visit.
If you anticipate needing more frequent contact, prescription management, or ongoing treatment adjustments between visits, membership is recommended and provides the most comprehensive level of access and continuity of care.
Do you take insurance?
No, we are not in network with insurance plans and follow the direct care model. We do not bill your insurance but will be happy to provide you with a superbill or receipt for the visit. If you have out-of-network coverage, you may be able to get reimbursed for the fee paid.
You may also be able to use your HSA account. We recommend reaching out to your insurance company to clarify HSA allowance, out-of-network coverage and reimbursements.
Do you take Medicare?
I will be accepting a limited number of Medicare patients soon. Membership services are not available to Medicare patients at this time. Please call or email for more information.
Do I still need my health insurance?
Yes, I encourage you to maintain your health insurance for seeing your primary care physician, labs, imagining studies, hospital stays or seeking other non-endocrine care.
What is the difference between the direct care and concierge models?
The concierge model charges the patient’s insurance company for the visits in addition to the membership fees for additional services. Direct care is often less expensive and does not bill the patient’s insurance. Patients can have access to direct care even if they do not have any insurance at all.
Do I need to be a patient in the practice or a member to have access to the Inbody Scan (Body Composition Analysis)?
No. It is open to everyone. You can conveniently schedule online.
Who is not recommended to take the InBody (Body Composition Analysis)?
People with prosthetic limbs, artificial electrical implants such as a defibrillator or pacemaker are not recommended to take an InBody Test.
Women who are on their menstrual cycle or are pregnant are not recommended to test as they may not obtain accurate results due to subtle changes in their hydration and body water levels.
