Once your request is received, you will receive instructions by email for scheduling an appointment and fee information. Once you have been scheduled, you will receive a new patient intake questionnaire, and other forms including policies and disclosures, that you will need to return before your first appointment.

You can call the office at (303) 717-2521 or EMAIL, to reschedule or cancel your appointment.

​Please provide 48 hours notice for all cancelled appointments. We require a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel a scheduled appointment, or you will be billed for the regular consultation fee. Patients who “no show” for a scheduled visit, will be charged for that visit, and will need to pre-pay future appointments.

We are a private-pay practice which means that we do not accept health insurance plans, and we are not Medicare/Medicaid providers. We do not bill health insurance companies.

​You will receive a receipt/invoice for your payment detailing the services provided. You may choose to submit this to your health insurance company. In some cases, certain insurance plans will apply this payment towards your deductible.

Often patients are able to use their health insurance plans to help cover the costs associated with laboratory testing, imaging tests, and prescription medications.

We have found that some insurance companies request additional information that is very specific and specialized to that provider. Given the large number of discrepancies between what each company requires and that time needed to meet those requests, we do not assist with insurance reimbursement above and beyond the receipt/invoice given at the time of service.

We do accept Health savings account (HSA) and Flexible spending account (FSA) as a method of payment.

Yes, there are forms to complete. The forms, with instructions, will be emailed to you after you have scheduled your appointment for the initial consultation. These will include a Health History Packet, disclosures, consent and privacy forms. Please complete and sign the forms prior to your initial consultation. Any pertinent medical records should be included when you return your forms prior to your consultation appointment.

Please fill out the forms completely, and return them either by fax, email or regular mail, so they are received at least 2 days prior to your initial consultation. We recommend that you keep a copy for your records, and have it available during your initial consultation.

​To get the most out of the initial consultation, it is important for us to spend time reviewing your health history and other aspects of your lifestyle. We respect the time that you’ve taken to fill out the packet, and want to spend the necessary time assessing the information prior to our first consultation.

Yes, Livingwell Preventive Medicine offers outpatient Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Zubsolv, Bunavail) treatment for opiate addiction/dependence. This is an excellent option for many patients seeking to stop using opiates. We do not bill insurance for the Buprenorphine Treatment Program office visits, the practice is private pay only.

No, this is not a primary care practice. Livingwell Preventive Medicine specializes in integrative addiction treatment and alternative pain management, and is not considered a replacement for your primary care provider. Like some primary care providers, we work with patients on preventive care. However, our specialized services are far more in depth in these aspects of preventive care and wellness than you will find in a conventional primary care practice. We are happy to work together with your PCP as part of your health care team, to coordinate your care.

We believe that maintaining a primary care provider (PCP) is an important part of your health care, and encourage all patients to have a PCP in their local area. PCPs offer services like routine health care maintenance (general physical exams), sick visits (if you get the flu, sore throat, etc), health screening tests, immunizations/vaccines, and referrals for health insurance purposes. Many health insurance plans require you to elect a PCP from their list of providers. You will need to contact your health insurance company to find out more details on this process.

First, in order for us to release your medical records, you must sign and return a “Records Release Authorization Form”. The form can be returned by scanning and emailing the signed copy, or by regular mail, but not by fax. Please be sure to indicate on your form where you would like the records to be sent.

Once we have received the signed Records Release Authorization Form from you, please allow up to 7 business days to receive the copies of your medical records. We recommend that you send us your request as soon as you know that you need them, as we cannot promise “same day service”.

Prescription medications are only available to patients with an established relationship (patient-doctor relationship) in the practice. In order to have a treatment relationship with the doctor, patients are required to be seen for at least an initial in-person appointment. We do not offer remote prescribing otherwise. Please call our office if you have any further questions.

As we are facing epidemics of chronic diseases, more and more Americans are looking to health care approaches outside of mainstream Western, or conventional medicine. People often use the terms “alternative” and “complementary” interchangeably, but in reality, the two terms refer to different concepts in medicine.

• If a non-mainstream treatment is used together with conventional medicine, it’s considered “complementary.”
• If a non-mainstream treatment is used in place of conventional medicine, it’s considered “alternative.”

Integrative medicine is the practice of bringing together conventional and complementary/alternative approaches to health care. Doctors who specialize in integrative medicine use both complementary/alternative therapies (“natural therapies”) and conventional treatments when necessary (like prescription medications). In recent years, the use of integrative approaches to health care has increased dramatically within healthcare settings across the United States. A growing body of research suggests that an integrative approach is effective in the treatment of a wide variety of health conditions, including addiction, pain management and the promotion of healthy behaviors.

Functional Medicine explores the underlying causes of disease (root causes) in determining the best treatment options. This is done by creating a strong doctor-patient relationship, while looking at the unique aspects of every patient’s body and lifestyle.  Treatments are tailored according to each person’s individual needs.  By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Therefore, interventions are focused on treating the cause of the problem, not just masking the symptoms.  Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. Functional medicine works to treat illness and promote wellness.
