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 policies may end up costing more. You can try contacting your insurance beforehand, but there is no way of guaranteeing what your insurance would end up paying.
Insurance coverage for labs will require an ICD9 diagnosis code. Some of the more commonly used codes that may work for functional lab tests include the following:
Stress Hormones & Adrenal Insufficiency Labs
GI Stool Tests:
Organic Acid Tests
Functional medicine can be included as an additional treatment option for patients receiving acupuncture & Eastern Medicine care. The cost of the labs are the same as described above in the Functional Medicine a la Carte section.
For the Stress Hormones & Adrenal Insufficiency Labs, we can explain the results within the normal time limit of an acupuncture session.
For GI stool test and organic acids labs we require a 30-60 minute functional medicine consult ($148-$296) to explain to you your results, recommended lifestyle changes, and proposed supplement protocol.
