Functional Medicine Costs – The Details

Consultations – $296/hour

These are broken down in 15-minute increments. Generally speaking, initial consultations take longer, along with explaining the lab results and treatment plan. Follow up consultations should take less time.

Functional Medicine Lab Costs

The lab costs above reflect the wholesale cost plus a $50-100 fee for a lab review that includes a supplement recommendation. If you bring in your own labs, or you use your health insurance to pay for part of the labs, you will be charged an additional $50-100 fee for review, depending on the complexity of the lab.

Some good PPO health insurance policies will cover part of the lab cost, depending on the carrier and your policy, and possibly saving you money. Other insurance policies may end up costing a lot more. You can try contacting your insurance beforehand, but there is no way of guaranteeing what your insurance would end up paying.
