• Do you take insurance? expand_more

  Yes. We take PPO and Medicare insurance.

  PPO insurance covers the basics, like annual labs, office visits, and annual physical exams. It does not cover the initial set-up fee or the monthly program maintenance fee.

  The one-time initiation fee of $1,495 is not covered by insurance. This cost covers program benefits like an assigned clinical care coordinator, personalized health history analysis, nutrition plan, and fitness evaluation from our exercise physiologist.

  The monthly program fee of $495 is also not covered by insurance. This cost covers ongoing consultations with our functional medicine nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and other lifestyle management protocols. It also gives you exclusive access to other program benefits like email and phone support, discounts to supplement regimens, and other personalized wellness plans.

  There may also be additional lab testing and imaging that your insurance may not cover. Our clinical care coordinator will give you more detailed information on out-of-pocket costs.

• What is included in the initiation fee and why can’t that be billed to insurance. expand_more

  The initiation fee includes the first visit and some of the initial testing. Much of the comprehensive evaluation is not covered by insurance plans.

• Can I just see Dr. Judd instead of the rest of the team? expand_more

  No. The success behind the program is rooted in the comprehensive team approach.

• Can I see Dr. Judd as my primary doctor? expand_more

  No, our mission is to learn what caused your symptoms and allow you to apply solutions to your life. Our goal is to empower you to take charge of your health without needing to see us for ongoing care.
