Welcome New Patients
SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS:
Thank you for your interest in our office, and your commitment to better health. We would be very happy to work with you to meet your health goals.
Please call our office to set up an appointment (808) 742-9326.
The first step to toward improving your health is your personal consultation with the doctor. The new patient consultation includes a very detailed history (to discover any pre-disposition or related health issues), goal setting with the doctor, and his evaluation and recommendations. During the consultation the doctor will explain our approach and how the different aspects of functional healthcare pertain to your particular health issues. The fee for the consultation runs between $50-$90.00 depending on the complexity of your case. We generally set aside one hour of doctor time (valued at $175.00 - reduced to $90.00), but discount the fee because it is the gateway to all of the other services available in our office.
Missed Appointment Policy: Because we offer comprehensive treatment, and spend a great deal of time in preparation for each appointment, we require at least 24 hours notice when canceling or changing an appointment. Our missed appointment fees are 50% of the regular fee for the appointment.
INSURANCE COVERAGE:
Insurance coverage is varied, depending on your policy and the services rendered.
Worker's compensation and Auto Med Pay insurance generally pay 100%, without any deductible.
Our office is not able to participate with PPO's or HMO's because of the wide background and services the doctors provide in this office. In insurance terms, they call our office "multi-disiplinary", which means that they believe that when you come to an office that offers a wide variety of services it will likely cost the insurance company more money. We strongly disagree - because our patients receive care for the whole body, and are able to participate in programs that get them healthier, faster, and with better understanding that allows them to progress year after year to become the best they can be. We do however, provide "superbills" for our patients to submit fees from our office to the insurance company for reimbursement. Additionally, we set up personalized payment programs for our patients to allow anyone who is serious about their health to be able to receive care in our office.
Auto Accident or Work Related Injury: If you have been in an auto accident or experienced a work related injury insurance will pay for 100% of related health care. Please let us know as soon as possible and we will work with you to obtain full insurance coverage.
