We love what we do and are honored by trust and collaboration in your health journey. Every day we hear from patients who appreciate our commitment to education, support and personalized care. And, everyday we hear from patients who want more of that care.
With our membership program, we improve our capacity to offer health benefits beyond what are customarily offered in conventional oncology programs and beyond what is covered by insurance. We know conventional medical and insurance models operate in ways that provide important care but the current model limits access to the services our patients value. We are committed to transcending those barriers.
Rather than functioning as a ‘cash only’ practice, our clinic program model allows us to bill insurance for all of the services they will cover. We bill only the balance not covered by insurance to the patient.
Most new patients can expect approximately $4000 fees over the course of a year. For those with insurance benefits we typically expect $2000 to be paid by insurance and will collect on average $2000 out of pocket from the patient. For patients that do not have insurance that covers our care the full amount is billed directly to the patient.
