Welcome to Functional Medicine Collaborative
We’re happy to partner with you on your path to better health. We know that managing multiple patient portals and testing options can feel overwhelming, and we’re here to help make everything as clear and seamless as possible. Our goal is to ensure you feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.
What to expect after you make your first appointment
Once your initial consultation is schedule you will receive an email with a link to register for our electronic medical record, Charm Health. When you click the link, it will bring you to a separate page where you will register for your account. You can find more detailed instructions here.
After you are all signed up for the portal you will have a few forms to fill out before your appointment. They can be found in the “Questionnaires” section of your patient portal. You can find detailed instructions on filling out these forms here.
Our practitioners may ask you to send past medical records or other documents through the patient portal. You can find detailed instructions on uploading and sharing documents here.
For more help navigating the patient portal check out the Charm Health website.
What to expect after your first visit
After your first visit with us you will receive a plan through our patient portal. This will either be found in under visit summary or will come to you as a message through the portal. This plan may include information about labs, supplements, medications, lifestyle and diet recommendations and referrals.
Lab Tests:
We work with a variety of diagnostic labs for testing, including both those that accept insurance and those that do not. While we do utilize Quest Diagnostics for some testing, coverage can vary by insurance provider. Please note that we cannot guarantee that any specific test will be covered by your insurance plan.
Specialized testing:
Below is a breakdown of the most commonly used lab tests and their associated costs. The specialized testing that we order cannot be drawn at a Quest lab. We have a phlebotomist who comes to our office two times a month that can draw these labs for an additional fee of $65. If you cannot make it on one of those days, we can provide you with a list of mobile phlebotomists that will come to your home, work or school to do the blood draw. Please note, there is an additional fee for these types of blood draws that you will pay directly to the phlebotomists. These labs are optional, but they help the provider get to the root cause of your concerns.
GI MAP $399: A comprehensive stool analysis.
DUTCH $100-$300: Male and female advanced hormone profile.
P88 $329: Multiple immune markers for food sensitivities and allergies.
Neural Zoomer Plus $420: Nervous system, inflammation and auto-antibody test.
Tickborne 1 $520: High sensitivity testing for Lyme and other tickborne disease.
Mycotoxins $310: Testing for the level of mold toxicity in the body.
ZRT $115: Stress level testing using four noninvasive samples over the course of one day.
