Functional medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. This means we are looking for the reason and the "Why?" something is happening and not just treating or masking the symptoms.

We focus on making sure systems are optimized. Gut health, hormone health, cortisol balancing -- these are just a few things that we'll be touching on.

Everything that you'll need to do before the first visit will be on the portal. There is a link to the portal in the top right corner.

Under "Account Details" you'll fill out your insurance information and upload an image of your insurance card (front and back).

You'll also find all the intake forms/questionnaires under the "Forms & Questionnaires" tab that will need to be filled out prior to your first visit. This will allow us to jump right in at our first visit.

I am In Network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna.

Yes! If you have a FSA/HSA you are able to use this if this applies. For those that we would be out of network- most are still able to use their out of network benefits and get some reimbursement. It is recommended to call your insurance to gain an understanding of your coverage.

I do act as some patients' primary care provider-- however, this is a discussion that will take place to make sure it is a good fit for both patient and provider based on your past medical history. If you have questions-- please don't hesitate to reach out!

I offer a 10-15 minute complementary phone call to discuss any questions or concerns about becoming a new patient to make sure that it is a good fit. Reach out to office@lauraevansfunctionalmed.com if you'd like to book a call.

There will be times telehealth visits will be utilized during your care plan, however insurance has decreased reimbursement for telehealth significantly and in office will always be preferred.
