Our Pricing
In order for us to truly establish a health partnership with you, we require a comprehensive initial visit and a non-refundable 50% appointment deposit for all patients. This deposit goes toward a 90 minute chart review by Dr. Richards before your first appointment. This appointment will include a comprehensive health history and/or the treatment of previously identified acute health needs. (All appointments after the initial consultation will not require a deposit).
Final payment is expected at the time of service. As we don’t take insurance, you will receive a form at each visit that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement directly to you.* Lab testing is done through specialty labs as well as traditional labs like Quest and LabCorp. Pricing for lab testing varies and is not included in the cost of the initial consultation.
*Usually, appointments and services are not covered by insurance
We fully understand the financial challenge this presents to some of our patients, and wish there were a way for us to bill your insurance company. Unfortunately, this isn’t possible with the current state of healthcare.
Insurance companies are heavily invested in the conventional health model that relies on drugs, surgery and brief, tightly scheduled office visits - not on preventive or wellness services.
We are committed to finding and addressing the underlying causes of your illness, which cannot be done in a typical 15-minute doctor visit.
