Expand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\tConventional insurance-based medicine is built around the concept of labeling you with a reimbursable diagnostic code (diagnosis) and then finding the medications or a procedure to match.<\/p>\n
A functional medicine model of care works to address the root cause of imbalances\/disease (DIS-EASE), considering the connection of all the various body systems, as well as the mind, lifestyle, and diet. The core of functional medicine is finding the what and the why, therefore simply operating in a diagnosis to medication model doesn’t fit with insurance-based practices.<\/p>\n
In addition, if your doctor is spending enough time with you (both in-person and afterward researching your unique case) to get to the root of your issue, using advanced testing that takes more time and knowledge to interpret, and then personalizing your treatment plan to include natural therapies and a customized diet plan, then it’s not covered by insurance.
This can be a good thing because this offers advanced testing and personalized care, 1-1 relationships with our coaches and clients, and more accountability through coaching.
Yes, functional lab testing is an investment, but not an expense. Working to transform your lifestyle and health will continue to reward you over your lifetime and give you back more time and energy (and often money) in the long run.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tAre supplements and lab reruns included in the program?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\tSupplements and lab re-testing will be additional costs. The supplement protocols that we create for you will be based on your unique goals, imbalances, and root cause(s) from your lab testing, so there is no way for us to know what and how much will be needed beforehand. Many of our clients also continue with some core maintenance supplements long-after they stop working with us.
Lab testing reruns are not included because some people do not need to rerun their labs, while others only need to rerun a few key markers that were off. Because the labs themselves are a large portion of the package price, we will actually save you some money ordering only the labs you need when retesting.<\/p>\n\t
