How long is the initial consultation?
Your first consultation will take approximately one hour.
Insurance
Lab testing done through Labcorp and Quest is often covered a vast majority of the time. Other labs will file the tests to your insurance company for you as a courtesy.
Because we do not bill insurance companies, it is up to each individual to determine whether their insurance plan provides coverage for consultations, supplements and lab tests. Per your request, we will provide a superbill to you that lists procedure and diagnosis codes that you may submit to your insurance company. Our superbills provide the codes for consultations and procedures. Most insurance companies will not reimburse for supplements. Please note that we cannot guarantee reimbursement.
Appointments
Follow-up phone and in-office consults usually last 20-30 minutes.
We encourage you to book your appointments at least one week in advance.
