We Accept Health Insurance
Preventive care is intended to help you stay as healthy as possible. It is considered routine health care that includes screenings, checkups, and patient counseling to help prevent illnesses, disease, or other health problems and is often covered with no copay, coinsurance, or deductible. We bill insurance for nutritional counseling under preventative care.
We are providers with the insurance companies listed below. We have provided an overview of coverage, but your plan could vary, so it is important to verify coverage before your appointment. We are happy to check those benefits for you as a courtesy! Have your subscriber ID available when you call or email in to schedule an appointment.
We can also provide a super bill for any client not covered by the plans below, so you can submit it to your insurance and see if they will reimburse you.
Do I need a referral?
If you are covered by Medicare or Medicaid (see the descriptions of what is covered to the right), you will need a referral. Most other plans do not require a referral, but we may need information such as a diagnosis code from a recent doctor’s visit chart note or lab results from the past year. Having these documents can often help maximize your insurance coverage. You will be able to upload these documents to your account or have them faxed to us once you have been scheduled.
