Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Insurance-based primary care is available for accepted plans. Patients who want greater flexibility, ongoing messaging, longer visits, or additional support may choose the Integrative Primary Care Membership instead. We'll figure out the best option together during your intro call.
Can I use insurance and still be a member?
Yes — and most members do. Your membership covers your care and access with me. Everything outside of that still runs through your health plan: labs, imaging, medications, specialists, and hospital care. Membership sits alongside your insurance rather than replacing it.
What does membership not include?
Anything billed by someone other than me. Your insurance is still used for labs, imaging, medications, specialists, and hospital care — and medications are billed at pharmacy cost. Functional medicine programs are also separate.
I have a high-deductible plan. Is membership a good fit?
Often, yes. With a high deductible, you're typically paying out of pocket for primary care visits anyway until the deductible is met — so a flat monthly fee can be more predictable, and it includes messaging and longer visits your plan wouldn't reimburse. Your insurance still covers labs, imaging, and anything catastrophic. Whether it makes financial sense depends on your plan and how often you need care, and that's worth walking through together on an intro call.
Do I have to do functional medicine?
No. Many members never need advanced testing. Functional medicine is simply there if deeper investigation becomes appropriate — it's an option, not an expectation.
Is this health insurance?
No. Membership is a flat monthly fee for an ongoing care relationship — it isn't a health plan and doesn't replace one. You'll still want insurance for labs, imaging, specialists, and hospital care.
Is this concierge medicine?
Not quite. Membership isn't a premium tier bolted onto ordinary care — it's a primary care model built around continuity, with the time and access insurance doesn't reimburse. Your care here is also fully integrative: hormones, metabolic, and root-cause medicine are part of it, not referred out.
Do you see patients virtually?
Yes — in-person in Denver, and virtual care for patients in Colorado, Connecticut, and other locations where services are permitted.
Why membership instead of using my insurance?
For many patients, insurance is the right choice — it covers routine primary care well. The difference is what each one is built for: insurance reimburses individual encounters, while membership supports an ongoing relationship. That's what makes longer appointments, messaging between visits, and proactive follow-up possible. Insurance is still used for labs, imaging, prescriptions, and referrals either way.
Is functional medicine included in the monthly fee?
No — functional medicine programs are separate and structured. Members receive preferred pricing on them.
Can I switch between insurance and membership later?
Absolutely. Many patients move between insurance-based care, membership, and functional medicine as their needs evolve. I'll help guide you to the approach that makes the most sense over time.
Is there a contract?
No. Cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice. A one-time $150 intake fee applies, waived for patients transitioning from a GLP-1 or functional medicine program.
