FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Our bodies and their systems (organs, muscles, bones, etc.) are masterpieces of design. Every part has its specific functions as well as an interrelationship with the whole. Your symptoms or condition, it’s your body’s way of saying that something isn’t working at its full function. Therefore our role at Rheumawell is to work with you to determine what’s not functioning, why, and how we might help you in restoring your health.
We use a holistic, supportive, client-centered approach to healthcare that benefits patients of all ages and conditions. As functional medicine practitioner, we consider the way body systems work together in a coordinated manner to maintain the body's proper functioning that occur among the following:
Immune system function/inflammation
Nutrition
Digestive function
Detoxification function
Energy metabolism
Hormonal function
Structural function
We assess the extent of any dysfunction by active listening (taking your history), and laby tests. Once we have identified the root causes of your symptoms, we recommend support including teaching, dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, exercise and stress reduction appropriate to your lifestyle, chiropractic treatment, mind body medicine, when necessary. We consider ourselves to be your partners in improving your health.
We also use functional medicine to assess your risk of developing certain health conditions and to prevent chronic illnesses from occurring. In this way, we move from a reactive approach, to a proactive approach. We can help you determine your hidden stressors or triggers in the first place by identifying your weak links. This approach offers significant promise regarding decreasing risk of cancer, heart disease, and other conditions as well as successfully addressing a number of common maladies.

This provides us the ability to have a private face-to-face conversation no matter where you are located. Lab kits are shipped directly to you, complete with a self-addressed return envelope. Our clients love the virtual model because it is very convenient. They can have their appointments from anywhere ranging from car to home and office.
Labs recommendations vary depending on the severity of your problem. So lab prices can also vary three hundred dollars up to several thousand. We will always discuss lab options with you, and base the recommendations on your history and the type of help you are wanting.
Yes. There is an additional charge to ship outside of the United States depending on where the labs are being shipped.
Our objective is to get to the root cause of conditions, regardless of what they are. We will use your history and your lab data to look at the roots of your symptom or condition to help us understand what is causing your condition.
No. We do not bill insurance. You are responsible for the cost of the program and Payment is expected at the time of service.
Rheumawell cannot file a claim with your insurance carrier, nor can we provide a procedure (CPT) code for this service.
The reason is that the insurance model does not recognize this type of health care yet. The current medical system under the coverage of health insurance is based on a model of ‘Diagnose and Treat’ where the treatments typically consist of a pharmaceutical to cover the symptom or surgery. The integrative functional holistic model of health care does not diagnose and does not treat. As a result, our model does not fall under insurance coverage. We look forward to when insurance companies will catch up and adopt this new model of healthcare.
