Congratulations on taking the first step towards chronic disease prevention.
*Self pay clinic, no insurance. No problem! We do not bill any insurance in our office.
*We can provide a Superbill of your visit that you can submit to insurance but we don’t guarantee reimbursement from your insurance company.
*We are opted out of Medicare so our services cannot be submitted to Medicare for reimbursement.
*All labs are drawn at our lab partner facility in Asheville. Patients will be given a lab order form to take to the lab facility for blood draw. Please note, we are a self pay clinic so if you use insurance for labs, your transaction for labs is then between you and the lab facility. Keep in mind that some of these labs are advanced biomarkers that may incur a much higher cost through insurance. Submitting labs with insurance does not guarantee coverage and the bill you may receive from the lab facility may be much higher than our guaranteed price. We bear no responsibility on what your portion of cost ends up being should you choose to use your insurance for the laboratory studies.
