Herbal medicine

No.  Think of this as specialty care, in which I would collaborate with all your other providers to safely incorporate herbal medicine as part of your healthcare routine.  And, as a patient/client of my practice I would encourage you to keep your primary care provider who would continue to order routine preventative screening tests like mammograms, colonoscopies, etcetera; however, a direct primary care relationship may be established on a case-by-case basis.

Some insurance companies will cover herbal medicine visits but this is policy specific.  At this time I will not be billing insurance but am happy to provide a detailed receipt of services that can be submitted by the patient for reimbursement; it is the responsibility of the patient  to ensure out-of-network providers are covered.  Some FSA/HSA plans may also offer a provision for coverage but, like insurance, this would be policy specific.

This will be patient and situation specific and can be discussed individually on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, as an herbalist I can see children but cannot accept them as patients only as clients, unless they are 13+.  This means I can provide herbal recommendations for those younger than 13 but cannot send in prescription medications for them.
