Visit our “SERVICES SECTION” for a full
explanation of the packages we offer and the fees. We guarantee
your satisfaction and what we promise.
Do you accept insurance? Basically,
no. No insurance
pays for a doctor to spend the time we do, hours on end
on prevention and diet, exercise, hormonal optimization
and so on. Neither
for a doctor with the expertise and qualifications have
we in this integrative, cutting edge field of medicine.
Lastly, insurances need a diagnosis, or a sickly
diagnosis
(code), to cover your bill.
Instead, we believe in optimizing your health before
disease starts, not a novel idea to us, but is so to the
insurance industry. They’re
in the business of maximizing profits to the shareholders
and administrators, and charging the highest premiums they
can get away with. (You also pay for the other policyholders that
aren’t healthy). Fees are usually tax deductible or even pre-tax.
WE may provide you with a “Superbill” (Receipt)
to file to your insurance and get what they will reimburse. This amount refunded will depend on your insurance
and we cannot vouch for them, of course. (A lot of our patients don’t want the insurance
plans to know what their personal health information is
for fear that they will raise their premium or drop them.
(This is a shame, as you should be commended for
being proactive about your health, but they look at the
extensive labs we order and figure there must be a lot off).
We do have a money back guarantee if you’re
not satisfied or helped by the things we recommend. (That
would be for my fees, not the lab work fees). And, almost
all the time, medical expenses are tax deductible, and/or
come out of your Medical Savings Account. (Ask your accountant
for the final word on this).
Call the office for more information or email, chrisrao@pol.net.
What does the Evaluation include? See the SERVICES SECTION on the homepage, www.unisonproyouth.com. Basically, the evaluation is as it states. It
includes your lab work and the drawing of such at a convenient
time and place for you.
The lab alone retails for over what the whole package
costs. And includes the extensive, in-depth, personalized
consultation time with me, in person or via phone whichever
works for you, and the package you chose. This usually includes
only “well issues” as diet, exercise, review of all labs,
and recommendations based on such, supplement and hormonal
recommendations.
Here we basically tell you what we found
wrong and what can be done to help correct it.
It does not include any prescriptions
at all or address of sick issues. If you agree with what
we recommend, and want to join our program, that’s your
free choice, see below. (If you join, then Rx’s are written as recommended,
as we will then be following these parameters on an ongoing
basis as they need to be to insure safety and efficacy). You will get a detailed email and regular mail
summary, a copy of all the data and what we found and recommend. Also, you may get a SuperBill to keep for your
taxes or to file insurance if desired.
You can do with this as you like, it’s yours. If
requested, we will also send a copy to your regular doctor.
What happens once I sign up for an Evaluation? You will get notified by email or phone by Cenegenics
Medical Institute in Las
Vegas, 1-888-YOUNGER.
You will then get a Fedexed packet explaining things
in detail, along with an 18 page Questionnaire to fill out
about yourself. The “Portamedic” will call you to arrange your
blood draw at a time and place convenient for you. It is
FASTING, nothing to eat or drink, besides water after 9PM
the night before.
It takes about a week to get the results
in. At that time, we will call you to arrange your
evaluation with us. The
details being in your packet, or in the SERVICES SECTION
on the website, www.unisonproyouth.com. Any further questions, again, call the office,
your satisfaction is our number one priority!
What are the Maintenance Fees for, I never had to pay this before?! It can run from $1495 per six months (depending
on your level of intensity you need), and you can cancel
at any time with a thirty day notice. These fees are for
the follow up, behind the scenes work, and the follow up
consultations we will have about your ongoing program. Much
like the fees you pay other Professionals, your lawyer,
accountant, pest control, pool guy, etc.
No two individuals are the same, have the same goals,
react the same to what we do, and behaves the same.
The program is personalized just for you.
So, there is research going on, phone calls from
you about things, emails, and the like that we are available
to answer in an immediate and most credible way.
Once you start a program, we will likely
redraw labs (additional fee) in a few months to see where
we’re going with things. We will call you up once those
labs are in, and discuss at length about your program, again,
diet, exercise, mood, compliance, barriers, what we need
to increase or decrease depending on what we discuss and
the lab results. This does take a lot of more time and effort
on our part, but we try to make it as comfortable as we
can.
We try to fix your fees, as a car lease
so that you’re not surprised at your bill.
There is no gimmick here as unnecessary lab-work,
images, procedures and such done to cost shift. And it costs
less than any insurance plan out there; you’re best insurance
plan is to have optimal health in the first place, right?
And here, you’re not shuffled through a six minute
time slot and seen by a nurse or such lower trained “provider.”
You’re actually paying a discounted rate
for the time and expertise we give, as we could charge more
by seeing ten patients an hour as most other doctors have
to do today. We don’t
believe in that, and you deserve more. There’s also no need
to “come in each six weeks” for an obligatory well visit
just to charge you more fees as other traditional offices
perform. You’re staying well, here!
See the SERVICES SECTION on the homepage,
or call or email with further questions.
So what are my Fees likely to be after the Evaluation, should I join up?
The Fees
above for the Professional Maintenance Fees may run from
$1495 up per six months depending on the complexity.
Add to that, Supplements are optional, but highly
recommended, but can run about $100 per month. Testosterone or HCG for a man can run about
$100 per month. Hormonal
Creams can run about $100 per month for women. HGH
can vary, about $250 on up per month.
Note that not all patients are on or need all that,
so your costs may be higher or lower, again, no two patients
are the same. (We
do supply only supplements that are GMP Certified and Pharmaceutical
Grade quality. And
we do have a price match guarantee for any product of the
same quality and ingredients).
Repeat labs generally run about $500, depending
on what’s being measured or tested. That includes the drawing
fee. The first repeat labs are in about three months from
the start, the second, about six months from that. Then
usually once per year once we know what works best for you.
This does vary on what’s being done, how you respond, levels
and value changes, but that’s generally the case.
Are there any discounts? We do adjust fees for couples, or immediate family
members in most cases. This
is because of treating the couple is easier than two separate
people because of the shared lifestyle, diet, exercise and
such. We do this
also to help lower your fees, as most of the time, once
one spouse gains so much, we naturally often see the other
spouse wanting the same outcomes.
Also, you will get a discount of at least
10% on all of out Aesthetic Products and Services, including
Botox, Restylane, Peels, Laser
Treatments, and so on, ask for details.
We also may offer professional discounts
on some things, though rarely because of federal laws.
If there is an unforeseen financial burden that occurs,
we will try to assist you the best we can during those times.
When do I have to come back in? What does that cost? Generally, we are dealing with wellness
issues only, per your agreement.
No “sick” issues are specifically intended to be
diagnosed or treated. We optimize your health, instead and
help avoid you getting sick.
A
once per year Re-Evaluation is recommended. This is
mostly not as intense as the first evaluation and can take
about an hour on the average. Again, this can vary, we will accommodate your
special situation and time needed as you or we may see fit.
We like to time this about the same time as
an annual lab draw so that we can give you a special package
price. Because of such variance on lab items tested
and time needed, the price can also vary, but most of the
time runs $1295 on up. This includes the lab and draw, and
a one hour consultation
via phone, email or in person, whichever is best for you. You may need more depending on your goals and
needs. As the initial evaluation, just the lab-work done
retails for well over that.
