Functional Medicine Program in Ann Arbor, MI

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.

We may consider booking an initial Dietary/Lifestyle Assessment with Jenna, our Register Dietitian. We truly believe in a comprehensive approach to wellness, and looking at the individual as a whole. If you choose to do so, Jenna will be working with Dr. Soorya to help educate you on how to support your medical treatment. Jenna offers many other synergistic services such as emotional and allergy treatments, hormone balance, and dietary advise.

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.

However, please understand that we have literally given up trying to figure out the whims of insurance and cannot guarantee you will be reimbursed.

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.
