Referrals:

Most private insurance plans don’t require a formal referral.  However, if you have been told that your blood glucose or cholesterol is elevated, or that you have diabetes or any number of other health problems, it helps to have a referral so that labs and medication details are available during our visits.  Medicare requires a referral. Your medical provider can fax referrals to (907) 312-7700.

We Bill Your Insurance:

Telehealth services are covered by many insurance plans and we will be happy to check prior to your visit.  In-office services are typically covered under preventive care provisions of private health plans if you have a BMI over 30.  or Elevated Blood Sugar (1).
