Access Functional Medicine Through Telemedicine in Utah
Finding functional medicine near you can be difficult, especially when you live far from a major city or cannot find a local practitioner who accepts insurance. Our telemedicine model makes this type of care more accessible. Whether you live in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, St. George, Logan, or a smaller Utah community, you can connect with our team virtually.
For patients in Utah, our functional medicine services are:
- Available through telemedicine
- Open to patients anywhere in Utah
- Covered by insurance for many patients
- Based on a personalized, whole-person approach
- Focused on identifying factors contributing to your concerns
We start by learning about your health history, current symptoms, daily habits, nutrition, and goals. Instead of looking at each concern in isolation, we consider how different parts of your health may be connected. From there, we develop practical recommendations that fit your needs and daily life.
Which Insurance Companies Does Thrive Accept?
Many of our patients use insurance to help cover functional medicine and nutrition services. However, coverage depends on your individual plan, network, benefits, and the services you receive. That is why we check your information before you schedule rather than making broad promises about what every policy will pay for.
Thrive currently accepts insurance from:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Tricare East
- Aetna
- Cigna
- UnitedHealthcare
- First Carolina Care
- MedCost
- Ambetter
Participation may vary by provider, service, location, and individual policy. Having insurance through one of these companies does not guarantee that every appointment, test, or recommendation will be covered.
When we are in-network with your plan, we can bill your insurer directly for eligible services. Out-of-network patients may be able to receive a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA funds and offer cash-payment options when insurance coverage is unavailable.
What Can Insurance Cover at Thrive?
Insurance benefits are different for every patient. Your plan may have a deductible, copay, coinsurance requirement, referral rule, or restrictions on the number and type of appointments it covers. We help you understand these details before you begin whenever possible.
Depending on your policy and eligibility, coverage through Thrive may include:
- A personalized and comprehensive care plan
- A nutrition therapy on-ramp program
- Ongoing nutrition therapy consultations
- Customized supplement recommendations
- Access to traditional or specialty lab testing
- Targeted assessments and monitoring tools
- Messaging with our care team
- Accountability and progress tracking
Access to a service does not always mean the full cost is included. Specialty lab processing, supplements, wellness apps, monitoring devices, and other optional resources may have separate fees. When an optional recommendation carries an additional charge, we explain that cost before you decide whether to move forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out a few of our most often asked questions.
Is functional medicine covered by insurance?
Many functional medicine services provided at Thrive may be covered by insurance. We accept several insurance plans and review your information before scheduling to help determine which services may be eligible. Your actual coverage depends on your policy, network, deductible, diagnosis, and the care you receive.
Which insurance plans cover functional medicine?
We work with insurance companies including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tricare East, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, First Carolina Care, MedCost, and Ambetter. Coverage is based on the details of your individual plan. Being insured by one of these companies does not automatically mean every functional medicine appointment or test will be covered.
Does Thrive provide telehealth functional medicine in Utah?
Yes. Our functional medicine and nutrition services are available through telemedicine to patients anywhere in Utah. You can complete the intake process online and attend appointments virtually while located in the state.
How can I find a functional medicine practitioner who accepts insurance?
Start by asking whether the practice bills insurance, which plans it works with, and whether it verifies benefits before scheduling. You should also ask whether appointments, testing, and other parts of the care plan are billed separately. At Thrive, we collect your insurance information during intake so we can help clarify your options before your first appointment.
Can I use an HSA or FSA for functional medicine?
Yes. We accept HSA and FSA funds for eligible healthcare expenses. These accounts may help with deductibles, copays, out-of-network expenses, testing, or other costs that your insurance does not cover. Eligibility is determined by the rules of your individual account.
