Insurance

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 CPT and diagnosis codes that you may submit to your insurance company. Our superbills provide the codes for consultations and lab tests. Most insurance companies will not reimburse for supplements. Please note that we cannot guarantee reimbursement.
