Functional medicine in Columbus oh

Functional Medicine Columbus, Ohio, is the future of conventional Medicine – available now. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.

Functional Medicine offers advanced nutritional and toxicity laboratory testing that is second best to none. To detect and correct body dysfunction early, functional medicine laboratory testing values have been tightened to optimal values.

Functional Medicine in Columbus goes above and beyond the standard of care

Functional Medicine exceeds the standard of care by broadening the scope of testing. Functional Medicine looks into more sophisticated tests not usually conducted by your GP. For instance, you may struggle to lose weight (weight loss resistance) and want to understand why.

Functional Medicine would test for factors such as leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities, adrenal stress, advanced hormone testing, chronic infection screening, mold testing, heavy metals, organic acids, etc.

Rather than simply aiming to provide symptom relief, like providing artificial hormones, functional Medicine will identify and remove the underlying cause.

Why find a functional medicine doctor near me?

As the graphic above shows, a diagnosis can result from more than one cause. For example, depression can be caused by many factors, including inflammation. Likewise, a cause such as inflammation may lead to several different diagnoses, including depression.

Unfortunately, with Westernized medicine, two patients who have the same condition, like depression or high blood pressure, are treated with the same medications, even though the underlying causes could be drastically different.

The precise manifestation of each cause depends on the individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle, and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefits beyond symptom suppression.

Frequently asked questions about functional medicine in Columbus, Ohio

Generally, No. But you can use HSA, FSA , or care credit cards to pay for services if you have one.

In addition. Some insurance companies will reimburse for medical care with providers that aren’t directly contracted with. This is called “out-of-network” benefits.

We will provide necessary insurance codes and paperwork to submit to your insurance to consider repaying you for your out-of-pocket expense to your functional medicine doctor.

While there is no guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you, it is worth considering.

Keep in mind that if you have a high-deductible health plan, your “out-of-network” plan will often have a separate deductible to meet.

So no reimbursement would be provided without meeting the “out-of-network” deductible first.

We provided individualized functional medicine packages. Prices will range based of the severity of problems and laboratory findings.

However, we believe in Transparent Pricing and here are approximate breakdown of cost for our services.

The first appointment, the initial 60 minute health discovery with Dr. Kevin to identify the root cause of your symptoms is $350.

Follow-up visits are $250 per hour.

All our Functional Medicine services are offered virtual or in-person.

*Lab tests are not included in this pricing and are out-of-network. The average cost is around $2,000.

The conventional insurance model of care is built around the concept of labeling you with a reimbursable diagnostic code (diagnosis) and then finding the medications or procedures to match it.

While this may work well for some, it doesn’t answer the deeper questions and lifestyle strategies required to correct deep rooted imbalances inside the body.

A functional model of care works through the functional medicine matrix. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms.
