Frequently Asked Questions

What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a root cause, systems-based approach to healing. It involves getting a very detailed health history, often diving deeper with detailed labs, taking into account every aspect of your health, and putting all of the puzzle pieces together to figure out what body systems are out of balance, to then plan the best way to restore that balance. Treatment plans almost always include diet and lifestyle changes that are sustainable for the rest of your life, often supplements for vitamins and minerals you are found to be deficient in, and any added treatments such as biologics or prescription medications. Every single person has a unique story and health history, genetic make-up, environmental toxin exposure level, and lifestyle – therefore, every single person’s path towards healing will look different.
Can Dr. Clark be my Primary Care Provider?
Dr. Clark cannot be your Primary Care Provider/PCP. We recommend you have a separate PCP to assist with routine wellness exams, acute illnesses, screening tests, and vaccinations if needed.
What is the cost of service?
Do you accept insurance?
We do not accept insurance but can provide you with the required documentation and codes for you to submit to your insurance company. Depending on your insurance company, you may be reimbursed for a portion or none of the charges. Please consult with your insurance company to understand their requirements and processes for out-of-network reimbursement. For all labs ordered, you are responsible for payment up front. You then have the option to submit the lab orders to your insurance company for reimbursement – you may be reimbursed for some labs, but likely not all of the detailed functional medicine labs.
