Do you take health insurance?
No, at Healing Alternatives Inc, we will furnish a Superbill along with ICD-10 codes and CPT codes for your insurance company if you wish to be reimbursed. If you are seeing Lisa, it's best to check if your insurance has CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) coverage before you come. Make sure a Doctor of Oriental Medicine visit is covered. Insurance does not pay for supplements or herbs. If you are interested in functional medicine in Orlando, FL, your coverage may vary depending on your plan. If you are seeing an MD or an APRN, your coverage will depend on your plan. Often, a Flex Spending Account will cover our services.
Do I have to buy your supplements?
We offer pharmaceutical-grade supplements that are not available without a healthcare practitioner's license. As part of our approach to functional medicine in Orlando, FL, these supplements are formulated to be stronger than what's available in stores and are more easily assimilated by the body due to their nutrient form. This means fewer pills and better results for our patients. Time and again, we've observed that OTC supplements are not as effective, making our high-quality options a vital part of achieving optimal health.
What kind of practitioners do you have there?
We have a diverse team of practitioners to meet your needs. Our staff includes a Doctor of Oriental Medicine who specializes in CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine), a Functional Nutritionist, and an APRN. Depending on your preferences and insurance coverage, you can choose the practitioner best suited to your care. Please note that insurance typically does not cover supplements or herbs, but many plans, including Flex Spending Accounts, may cover our services. If you're interested in functional medicine in Orlando, FL, we recommend reviewing your plan to confirm coverage.
Can I pay in installments?
