This Functional testing evaluates health on a cellular level to help determine the root cause(s) of your health challenges. <\/p>\n Outside of blood work, most of the lab testing can be performed from the comfort and privacy of your own home. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow much should I budget for lab testing? \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t We are committed to providing you with the most affordable care possible. Simply Health Institute has made special arrangements with all of our lab vendors to provide you with direct lab pricing for tests not covered by insurance. On average, you should budget between $600 – $1,500 for functional medicine lab testing. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWill I have access to my lab results?\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Yes, they are available at all times in the patient portal. Dr. Rajka delivers a comprehensive lab video interpretation before the second visit. This is to ensure you fully understand how your body is functioning. <\/p>\n We believe that an informed patient gets much better long-term outcomes and becomes an active participant in their wellness. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow important are taking vitamins and supplements in order to optimize my health?\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Due to our nutrient depleted soil, our diets are unfortunately lacking. This is true for all diet types, even organic and whole foodies alike. At Simply Health, supplements are personalized specifically to fill in your nutrient and mineral gaps. Quality is important, all are not created equal. We recommend only 3rd party tested supplements which are of the highest quality. <\/p>\n You may expect to have a wider range of supplementing to start that is further paired down as the root causes are all addressed. While supplementation is important, it is not a magic pill. A full mind body approach is crucial for long term healing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWill my insurance cover functional medicine care?\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t We are not contracted with any insurance company and do not bill your insurance. We do, however, provide superbills for you to send to your insurance for reimbursement. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat forms of payment do you accept?\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t We accept cash, check, major credit, and debit cards. We also offer a credit option with 0% financing. 6-12 month interest free financing is available through Advance Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tDoes Dr. Rajka work with men? \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Absolutely. While we resonate highly with women and tend to see more in the practice, the programs are just as effective for men.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat if my spouse\/kids want to join me – do you offer family discounts?\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t Family members are welcome. Support of your close community propels long-term success and grows your relationship closer. To care for yourself and be in unity, and to set an example is the greatest gift you can give future generations. We believe in it so much we offer a $500 credit for each family member.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tThe program is on average 6 months, what happens after? \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t After 6 months, you will graduate to the maintenance phase.
