  • Why did Carrie start this practice?
    To those of you who have trusted me, and Restorative Health Care, with your pursuit for better health, I am excited to announce that after much careful deliberation and research, I have decided to open my own Functional Medicine practice in Southwest Michigan – Insight Functional Medicine! Space in the practice is limited, and details about how to sign up are at the end of this letter. But first, I want to share with you how we got here and where we are going. READ MORE
  • Where is the practice located?
    We moved on 12/1/24! Please come visit us in our new space at 550 W. Centre Ave, Suite 2.
  • Does Insight Functional Medicine accept insurance?
    Our office will not bill insurance. You may pay by check, debit or credit card. Upon request, we can provide you with a copy of a superbill which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement for out-of-network care. A superbill is a detailed medical receipt that contains procedure codes, diagnosis codes, and the fees charged for your office visit. We cannot guarantee what reimbursement, if any, you may receive. We will not submit claims or call insurance companies directly. This is the responsibility of each patient. There are some flex spending accounts or health savings accounts that can be used to help pay for cash-based health care. Plans differ between insurance companies, so each patient will have to look at their specific guidelines. **For those patients enrolled in Medicare, Insight Functional Medicine has opted out of Medicare, meaning we will not be billing Medicare for services rendered. Therefore, patients are personally responsible for membership fees and by law are not allowed to file to Medicare personally for reimbursement.**
  • May I schedule vein or aesthetic procedures?
    Unfortunately, our practice will not provide any of the aesthetic or vein services previously offered through Restorative Health Care. We apologize for any inconvenience but due to staffing restrictions, we will only be offering Functional Medicine care.
  • Could I just order supplements without joining your practice?
    Yes – we will be happy to serve all our past patients! We offer previous patients of Restorative Health Care a 15% discount off all supplements ordered through Fullscript. This is an online marketplace that offers top quality nutraceuticals. A majority of the supplements that were offered in our practice are available. Contact us if you don't have a supplement available. To create an account and start ordering please click here.
  • Did you happen to bring the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to the new practice?
    We're excited to share we did keep the hyperbaric chamber! Because of the significant improvements we were seeing in the health of a number of patients in just a few months, we felt it was important to continue to offer it to help further improve healing capacity. Hyperbaric therapy is a technology in which the air pressure in the environment is increased. When a person’s body is placed in a higher pressure environment, it absorbs more oxygen molecules per volume of compressed air. The body normally transports oxygen via the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. By increasing the air pressure, oxygen is then driven into the body’s fluids, allowing a super-saturation of tissues and organs with oxygen. The increased pressure infuses the body with oxygen, even reaching injuries with damaged circulation.. Treatment packages will be offered, and members of the practice will have a significant discount.
  • How much is the membership fee?
    The membership fee is $239 per month with a 12-month commitment, paid monthly or annually.
  • Why are you charging fees?
    Great question! As you know, Functional Medicine services are NOT reimbursed well by insurance. Our providers have known the value behind treating patients from a functional medicine perspective for years, but unfortunately a business cannot be sustained by insurance reimbursement alone. We are committed to continuing to deliver optimal care that will best serve our patients, and this allows us to provide the treatment you deserve rather than having insurance dictate what is necessary.
