General FAQs
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a broad term describing a philosophy of care that focuses on identifying the root causes of illness and disease, while placing a strong emphasis on preserving and improving physical mobility and helping patients see tangible improvements in how they feel. By combining strategies such as nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, hormone optimization, and advanced regenerative therapies, Functional Medicine supports individuals in staying active and aging well.
Our primary focus is on services like:
- Alternative Screenings — Specialized scans and advanced blood work for early detection of cancers and chronic diseases.
- Regenerative Medicine — PRP, Wharton’s jelly, and other targeted therapies to repair and preserve health, keeping you active.
- Peptides & Supplement Support — Enhance recovery, performance, and overall vitality.
- Lifestyle Medicine — Personalized nutrition and fitness guidance to help you thrive.
- Hormone Optimization — Balancing hormones for sustained energy, healthy aging, and peak performance.
- Medical Weight Management — Medically-integrated programs for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health.
- Mental Health Wellness — We believe in mind-body support, from counseling to medication management (insurance accepted).
- Comprehensive Lab Testing — Thorough evaluations for vitamin deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, and more.
- Telemedicine & In-Home Visits — Convenient, flexible care wherever you are.
We also utilize many traditional medical approaches where appropriate, working hand-in-hand with our patients to find what fits best for their needs.
At PracticeRx, we build on these principles by offering longer visits, personalized follow-up, and direct access to your provider— all part of our concierge model. This approach allows us to address each patient’s unique needs and goals more effectively than a typical medical practice.
So, if you’re ready for a healthcare experience that prioritizes your convenience, health goals, and peace of mind, PracticeRx is designed for you.
What are the benefits of concierge medicine versus a traditional provider with insurance?
Concierge medicine offers a truly personalized experience, providing direct access to your provider whenever and wherever you need—whether it’s a Saturday and you urgently need a prescription before heading out of town, or an unexpected concern arises. Unlike traditional models, you’ll avoid long wait times and surprise out-of-pocket costs. Our subscription model covers everything you need, giving you peace of mind with simple, predictable monthly pricing.
Is PracticeRx a Primary Care Provider?
Yes and no. Our board-certified providers offer many primary care services, but we approach healthcare differently. Instead of just treating illness when it happens, we focus on lifestyle, prevention, and optimizing long-term health.
What services do you provide?
PracticeRx offers a range of services, including primary preventative care, urgent care, mental health, and men’s health services. From general health maintenance to treating minor injuries and managing chronic conditions, we provide comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Can PracticeRx handle my primary care needs?
For generally healthy individuals, absolutely. We manage common conditions like high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and can provide necessary prescriptions and work or school letters. However, if you have moderate to severe medical conditions, we recommend keeping your current PCP while working with us for specialized wellness services.
Does PracticeRx offer preventive health screenings?
Yes! We go beyond routine labs and offer advanced cancer screenings that detect Stage 0 circulating cancer cells early—helping our members stay proactive about their health.
Why don’t you accept insurance for all your services?
By operating outside the traditional insurance model, we make healthcare services accessible to those who might otherwise face exorbitant costs for the care they need. This approach allows us to eliminate administrative overhead, such as a billing team, and pass those savings directly to our patients. It also enables us to focus fully on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care without the restrictions and delays commonly associated with insurance-based visits, especially for men’s health and weight loss services.
What insurances do you accept for mental health services?
We currently accept the following insurances and subplans under each, with more being added continually:
- Aetna
- Banner Health
- United Healthcare
- Blue Cross Blue Shield (Elevance)
- Cigna
- CVS Health (Aetna)
- Humana
Are Weight Loss Services, Men’s Health, and Urgent Care covered by insurance?
Our Weight Loss, Men’s Health, and Urgent Care services are cash-based. Most insurance does not cover these services, but we provide clear pricing.
