Eligible Expenses Include

  • Doctor consultations and examinations
  • Diagnostic testing and lab work
  • Prescribed supplements and herbal medicines
  • IV nutrient therapy and other treatments

Questions About Costs

Will my insurance cover any of this? If you have a PPO plan, you may receive significant reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance company to verify your out-of-network benefits before your first visit.

How much should I budget for treatment? Costs vary by individual needs, but most patients invest less in natural medicine than they were spending on ineffective conventional treatments and medications.

Can I use my HSA or FSA? Absolutely. Both visits and recommended supplements typically qualify for HSA/FSA reimbursement.

Do you offer payment plans? Yes, we offer payment plans for ongoing treatment programs. Discuss options with our office staff when scheduling.

Don’t let cost concerns prevent you from getting the healthcare you deserve.
