Unfortunately no. Insurance is designed to cover disease based services rather than prevention or wellness. We have partnered with Reimbursify to help patients use any out of network benefits they may be eligible for.

No, unfortunately we are unable to accept Medicare at this time. Medicare is a population-based government health care system designed to cover general medical care for patients over 65 years old.

Unfortunately, it does not reimburse adequately to cover the cost of providing significantly extended visit time for consultations we use at Insight Functional Health, LLC. That extra time is a foundational aspect of the ability to provide root cause holistic care using a functional medicine approach. Alternatives: There are providers who accept Medicare listed on the Institute of Functional Medicine website “Find a Practitioner” page. Under advanced search options, you can search for those providers currently accepting Medicare. If you would like to work with a provider who accepts Medicare, I would recommend checking out the link below.

Functional medicine is focused on understanding the factors that support health, and identifying the underlying causes for the development of disease. This is vastly different from my conventional training which focused on diagnosis of disease through laboratory testing and imaging studies and treatment of disease through the use of pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures. As an ICU physician, still in practice, I am very familiar with the latter approach. It can be lifesaving for treating acute diseases, and stabilizing chronic disease. I would encourage all of my patients to continue to see their primary care provider. I see functional medicine as filling a gap in healthcare to address issues before they progress to the level of acute disease.

I can work with patients with a range of conditions, but have focused on those listed below. If your primary concern is not on that list, it does not mean it would not respond to functional medicine approaches. In general I have found that supporting the underlying tenets of health is a very flexible approach and can help patients with a vast array of concerns. Long COVID Fatigue Healthy Aging Chronic GI discomfort Autoimmune disease Brain fog Adrenal dysfunction Detoxification Cognitive decline* And More *Cognitive decline is a complex topic with numerous contributing factors, some of which are easier to address than others. In this area in particular, early intervention and family support is key. I by no means consider myself an expert in this, but I have completed the ReCODE 2.0 training under Dr Dale Bredesen as well as additional training in neurodegenerative diseases with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. The potential for improvement is encouraging, but it is by no means certain.
