Estimating the Cost of Functional Medical Care

The Costs Associated with Functional Medical Care & Treatment

Below is an outline of what to expect to pay for functional medicine appointments, testing, and treatments.

Our Commitment to Transparency

You will always be informed before testing is ordered, with discussion around:

-
Clinical rationale
-
Estimated costs
-
Prioritization based on your goals and symptoms

No testing is ordered without thoughtful discussion and shared decision-making.

Please see our FAQ page for more details about our practice.

Appointments

New Patient Visit - 90 minutes - $795

Your initial visit is a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation designed to truly understand your health story. This includes a thorough review of all previous medical records and prior lab work, along with a detailed discussion of your current concerns and health goals. We will take a complete medical history and perform a thoughtful lifestyle assessment, exploring factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, and daily habits.

By the end of your visit, you will receive a personalized initial plan focused on addressing root causes and guiding you toward meaningful, lasting improvements in your health.

Follow up visit - 60 minutes -$450

A 60-minute follow-up visit is reserved for times when a more comprehensive, in-depth plan is needed. This typically occurs when we are reviewing detailed testing (e.g., microbiome assessments) or when extensive bloodwork has been completed and requires careful interpretation.

During these visits, we take the time to thoroughly review your results and develop a more detailed, personalized treatment plan. Because of the level of analysis and planning involved, additional time is needed to ensure nothing is overlooked and that your plan is both thoughtful and effective.

You will always be informed in advance if a 60-minute visit is needed, so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

Follow up visit - 30 minutes - $225

Most follow-up visits fall into this category and are designed to keep your care moving forward in a focused and efficient way. During these 30-minute visits, we review your progress, discuss how you’re feeling, and make any necessary adjustments to your plan to keep you on track.

These visits are also used to review more straightforward or targeted lab results.

Other Costs Associated with Treatment

Supplements or nutraceuticals

Out-of-network or specialty laboratory testing

Prescription medications

Other therapy devices, e.g. footbaths, redlight, etc.

These costs may vary based on individual needs and recommendations.

Laboratory Testing & Estimated Costs

Insurance-Billed Blood Work

Some standard blood work may be ordered through LabCorp or Quest and billed to insurance. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. We
recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your benefits, as Sutton Wellness cannot determine coverage in advance.

If you have experienced insurance coverage issues with standard labs or if you don't have insurance, Sutton Wellness can provide a cash-pay estimate for labs through an alternate vendor (e.g., Fullscript/Rupa Health, Evexia Health). This option requires your lab order to be placed directly with that vendor who has negotiated specific pricing with Quest or Labcorp. Cash-pay pricing is only available when arranged in advance and cannot be applied once labs have been drawn and billed through your insurance.

We encourage all patients to review their insurance coverage carefully before completing any laboratory testing. Any charges billed by Labcorp or Quest that are not covered by insurance will be the sole financial responsibility of the patient, not Sutton Wellness.
