Functional Medicine Program in Ann Arbor, MI

The new patient bundle includes the following 2 appointments:

In-person History & Physical Exam (60 min)

Prior to this appointment, you will have completed our online New Patient Questionnaire. The purpose of this intake will be to “hear your story,” collect important health information and get you started on any labs we may need to order. This appointment also includes a complete medical exam, evaluation and assessment.

Dietary/Lifestyle Assessment with our Register Dietitian, Jenna (60 min)

Jenna will be doing a dietary assessment to identify and create a plan with things you can do on your own, through lifestyle and whole foods, to support our medical treatments. You can learn more about Jenna and all other services she offers by visiting the following page  Jenna's Profile

The New patient bundle for our Functional Program includes a 60 min appointment with Dr. Soorya, as well as a 60 min Dietary/Lifestyle Assessment with our Register Dietitian. We truly believe in a comprehensive approach to wellness, and looking at the individual as a whole. As a way to encourage individuals to try our approach, we have bundled these two appointments to be able to give you more for your money! These 2 appointments outside of the bundle have a $600 value!

Please Note: The bundle does NOT cover any testing, appointments to review your labs, or follow up visits.

After all testing has been completed, we will discuss the findings and put together your treatment plan, which might include dietary, lifestyle, and nutraceutical interventions. The lab review visits range anywhere between 40 to 120 minutes depending on the complexity and number of labs to review. These visits are billed at $450/hr, prorated to the time spent with the doctor.  See the "Insurance & Billing" section for details.

These visits range from 20-30 minutes, approximately every month initially for the first 3-5 months while we proceed through the steps of your individualized protocols. This is for your safety and to ensure that you are tolerating all of the supplements, to discuss any problems you may be having, and to provide guidance and coaching. After you are on all the supplements, we give your body time to repair. During this time, we do not require follow-up, but should any concerns or issues come up, we are always here for you and want to see you.

Once we have successfully finished all pre-planned protocols, you will be taken off supplements in a structured manner. We will meet one more time to see how you are doing and provide long-term discharge instructions, including dietary and lifestyle modifications and periodic supplementation protocols if indicated.

All follow up appointments are billed at $380/hr, prorated to the time spent with the doctor. See the "Insurance & Billing" section for details.

Natural Balance Wellness Medical Center is out-of-network for ALL insurances. We are happy to provide you with an itemized superbill for every encounter with the appropriate codes to submit to your insurance for reimbursement to you directly. However, please understand that we have literally given up trying to figure out the whims of insurance and cannot guarantee you will be reimbursed. For your reference, we have included the codes and pricing we use for the New Patient Bundle and follow-up visits, phone consults, etc. to assist you with checking with your insurance company ahead of time if you wish.

A Note Regarding Visits: The times below for follow-up visits include preparation and post-counseling with the nurse or clinical assistant, as well as direct collaboration with our physicians or clinicians.

The super bill will have the following codes.

Billing Process: As a medical center, it is our sincere intention that your visit be recognized by insurance AND qualify for reimbursement based on your out-of-network benefits. Our clinic’s ability to provide superbills for your visit and utilize insurance for testing is why we are able to save patients thousands of dollars compared to other practices run by limited license clinicians such as chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, etc. That said, we are unable to guarantee that your insurance will reimburse your visits, nor can we project how much reimbursement you might receive. Please consult with your insurance company directly.
