If you have been searching for functional medicine covered by insurance in New York, you have probably run into the same issue again and again. Many places say they accept insurance, but you only find out it is cash pay after you have already started the process. At Thrive, we do things differently. We work with insurance whenever we can, and we talk about coverage up front so you know what to expect from the start.
How Thrive Handles Insurance
Our insurance process at Thrive is designed to be simple and easy to understand. Most of our patients use insurance to help cover nutrition services, and some also use insurance for primary care after joining a membership plan.
Here is how it usually works:
• Direct billing in-network when your plan qualifies
• A superbill option if you are out-of-network, so you can request reimbursement
• HSA and FSA accepted
• Cash rate options if you are not using insurance
You can find a list of accepted insurance plans on our insurance page. The quickest way to get started is to check your coverage first, then schedule your appointment once you know what your plan covers.
