Your symptoms
aren't all in your head.

You will be working directly with board certified medical doctors who are also certified in functional medicine.

Because of the unique type of care we provide, we do not accept any form of insurance, including Medicaid or Medicare, for membership fees or appointment visits.

After each visit, we can provide a Superbill, or detailed invoice, that you can submit to insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Many members choose to pay for their plans using FSA/HSA dollars.

For a $75 fee, we can complete prior authorizations for Insurance for medications we prescribe.

We recommend first contacting your insurance to verify your copay and deductible. In some cases, medications we prescribed are not covered.

For the best self-pay cost on your medications, visit GoodRx. Many prescriptions end up costing less than the $75 it costs for a prior authorization to use your insurance copay/deductible.

Insurance plans may cover the specialty in-depth tests we offer depending on deductible and out-of-network lab coverage. We encourage our members to call their insurance in advance to ask about coverage. We are able to provide diagnosis codes and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to give to your insurance company.

Most conventional insurance plans do not cover the specialty in-depth tests we offer. We have negotiated discounted rates with lab companies for bloodwork for those that do not have insurance or have poor insurance coverage.   

We will always discuss the necessity of any test and its cost with you before ordering it. It is always up to you to approve recommended testing.

A membership model offers benefits and services that a traditional payment structure does not. Our membership model offers continuity, messaging and support through our secure online portal, transparency, advanced diagnostic testing, access to health coaching, and a collaborative care team. At Sano, you become part of a community that embraces long-term health goals. 

Choosing functional medicine is about more than getting a bang for your buck. It’s an investment in your health.

No, a membership is not required to receive services from our providers. A membership allows you to receive services at a discounted rate.

Supplement cost will vary depending on the protocol(s) recommended to treat your condition. On average, the cost will be between $600-$1500 for the first 3-6 months. This can be customized based on budgetary constraints.

Ongoing supplement costs during follow-up care vary considerably depending on the patient and treatment plan, but average $80–$250/month.

We consider your needs, preferences, and budget when determining what tests to prescribe. The cost of lab tests recommended can range from $150 – $4,200. All testing is customized specifically for you, and we offer flexibility by staggering tests over time for affordability. This cost does depend on the complexity of your condition, level of diagnostics required, and what your insurance may (or may not) cover.

The exact lab testing we recommend depend on your individual circumstances but might include:

• Blood tests for specific conditions like high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, vitamin markers, autoimmune disease, gluten and food sensitivity, and stealth infections.
• Advanced stool testing to screen for parasites, fungal overgrowth, bacterial infections, intestinal inflammation, dysbiosis, and a deficiency of beneficial gut bacteria.
• Breath testing for gastrointestinal bacterial imbalances, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
• Urine organic acids testing to screen for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, fungal overgrowth, problems metabolizing fat or carbohydrates, B-vitamin status, methylation issues, detoxification capacity, oxidative stress and neurotransmitter metabolism.
• Saliva or serum hormone testing for adrenal and sex hormone status.

Although our physicians are trained family physicians, Sano Health Club’s practice is primarily focused on functional and lifestyle medicine. A doctor will work with you as a medical consultant and cannot be your primary care provider. We strongly recommend having a primary care doctor outside of Sano Health Club.

We are not available for same-day appointments.

Services do not expire with an active membership.

Beyond visits, the primary mode of communication with our care team is through messaging on our patient portal. We answer quickly during the week, typically within 24-48 hours. 

If you have a medical emergency, visit an urgent care center or an emergency room.

We require 48 hours’ notice for a changed or canceled appointment for a full refund. A cancellation fee applies for missed appointments. Please refer to our intake form for updated information.

We take your privacy seriously. Please review our privacy policy. We only accept communications through our secure patient portal or phone system to protect your health information as a patient.

Yes. There is a minimum charge of $50, and we may prorate additional charges for any staff time spent over 15 minutes.

Traditional Western medicine is usually focused on evaluating a patient’s symptoms and forming a diagnosis. The treatment plan usually involves a medication or procedure to treat that symptom.

Functional medicine takes a look at the root cause and intervenes as far up the chain as possible. It emphasizes disease prevention and health optimization. It assumes a whole-body, individualized approach and longer-lasting treatments for chronic conditions and common ailments.

Everything in the body is connected, and functional medicine embraces that.
