Yes! Dr. DiNezza is able to hold appointments via phone or zoom for patients outside of North Carolina. The only significant differences to note are:

• Some states like NY, RI, and MD make it difficult or impossible for us to order labs or bloodwork for you. There are ways to work around this, but it takes more effort.
  
• We are generally unable to bill labs through your insurance if you live in another state.
  
• Dr. DiNezza is unable to conduct a physical exam if you are not here in person. As such, she may ask you to make appointments with local doctors if the need arises.

After their first two appointments, most people want to follow-up periodically to ask questions, adjust supplements, discuss new labs, and brainstorm their next steps. At this point you have three choices:

1. Prepay for 2-3 months of care and receive 10% off all appointment fees
   
2. Pay in two installments and receive 5% off all appointment fees
   
3. Pay as you go

This depends highly on the individual case. The duration and cost of your care program will depend on the nature of your health complaint(s) (how long you’ve been unwell, the severity of your symptoms), test results, and physical exam.

You can call your insurance company and ask about coverage (questions below) to get a rough idea of your plan’s coverage.

Additionally, we are able to order many tests through Labcorp or Quest which can usually be billed through insurance.

First:

• Is your plan an HMO, PPO, or something else? (Generally, PPOs cover more services)
  

Appointment Reimbursement:

• What can you expect for reimbursement if you see an out of network provider** and submit superbills for CPT codes 97802 and 97803?

Lab testing:

• What is your in-network lab? (Quest, Labcorp, or both)
  
• Can an out of network provider** order through this in-network lab?
  
• How much of in-network testing is covered (usually given as a percentage)? Do you have an in-network lab deductible to meet first?
  
• Does your plan have out-of-network lab benefits?
  
• What is your out-of-network lab deductible? How much of that deductible have you met this year?

**Note: If you are not in North Carolina, make sure to specify that the provider is in North Carolina.

Yes! We are able to accept HSA and FSA cards for appointments and supplements. You may also use these cards for any out-of-pocket lab testing fees.”

We work with Advance Care Card, which we have found to be better than CC. Advance Care offers interest-free financing for 6 or 14 months (depending on your credit). At this time we do not accept Care Credit, but if this is important to you we can look into it.

This depends on a few factors. Most importantly, this depends on the complexity and severity of your health concern(s) and the quality of your insurance plan. With decent insurance (PPOs) you can expect to invest between $200-$700 for initial testing and a much smaller amount on repeat testing. If your insurance is particularly sub-par (high deductible plans, HMOs) you can expect to invest a bit more.

Yes! Labs are a vital part of this process. We use lab testing to uncover hidden malfunctions, discover healing opportunities, and get to the root cause of your health issues.

We always have plenty of parking close to the office 🙂 The only quirk to know is that GPS devices frequently make you go past our building! Be sure to review the PDF below and photos before your appointment.
