Why Functional Healing Isn’t Covered by Insurance and Why It’s Worth Every Dollar
Understanding the real cost of functional healing, why insurance doesn’t cover it, and what you’re truly paying for
True healing costs more because it’s not surface-level care. It’s a lifelong investment in your health.
“Do you take insurance?”
It’s a question I hear almost every week.
And I get it. We’ve all been trained to think that real healthcare should be reimbursed by insurance. But what if I told you that real healing the kind that actually listens to your symptoms, gets to the root cause, and helps you reclaim your life isn’t built for the insurance model?
Let me explain why I don’t take insurance, why functional healing requires a different investment, and why the care I provide is structured the way it is.
The Hidden Costs of Running a Functional Healing Practice
Behind every consultation is much more than just an hour of my time.
- I carry professional liability insurance to protect and serve my clients safely.
- I invest thousands of dollars each year traveling to advanced seminars, hands-on trainings, and cutting-edge conferences.
- I spend hours outside of our sessions reviewing labs, researching complex cases, and creating personalized protocols.
- I stay current on the latest science, natural healing methods, peptide therapies, and root-cause medicine because your healing deserves more than outdated textbook advice.
This isn’t something I dabble in. This is my calling. And I take it seriously.
Why Insurance Doesn’t Work for Functional Healing
Insurance is designed for quick visits, symptom management, and standardized protocols. It works well for emergency medicine, but it’s not built for root-cause care.
Here’s what the insurance model typically rewards:
- 15-minute appointments
- Prescription-based care
- One-size-fits-all treatment
In contrast, functional healing offers:
- Deep, personalized assessments
- Time intensive support and follow-up
- Prevention, not just reaction
If I were to work within the insurance model, I would have to limit your time, restrict your care options, and take shortcuts I don’t believe in. I won’t do that.
Why the Cost Reflects the Value
You’re not just paying for a session. You’re paying for a guide, an investigator, and a lifelong student of healing.
When you invest in this work, you’re saying:
- I’m ready to get to the root, not just manage symptoms
- I want personalized answers, not quick fixes
- I value my long-term health over temporary relief
And most importantly:
You’re investing in a practitioner who takes your healing personally because I’ve walked through it myself.
What Most People Get Wrong
They think paying out of pocket means they’re being taken advantage of.
The truth? You’re finally getting care that isn’t influenced by insurance codes or pharmaceutical kickbacks.
You’re getting answers. Attention. Advocacy.
And you’re working with someone who’s just as committed to your results as you are.
What I Do Differently
I don’t hand out generic advice.
I take time. I dig deep. I walk with you every step of the way.
I’ve built a practice where you’re more than a patient file. You’re a whole person with real symptoms, a unique story, and goals that matter.
And if you’re ready for that kind of care, I’m ready to serve.
