Frequently Asked Questions
-
This deep dive health investigation is our chance to get to know you and your health history in detail, from the time you were born until the present moment. We order foundational lab studies, review the data, and interpret these labs with you. The first two appointments will be an Initial Consult with our nurse practitioner (90 minutes) and then the Case Review with your clinician (60 minutes).
You will also meet with both our nutritionist and health coach at least once to get started on key lifestyle changes (these will both be 60-minute Initial Consults).
Your monthly membership plan will begin one month after your 90-minute Initial Consult.
-
Yes, you may upgrade or downgrade once per year as long as it is within the first 6 months of your membership year. All changes must be requested by sending a secure message through your patient portal. Any change will be reflected on your next month’s bill.
All memberships, whether paid monthly or annually, are 12-month commitments and are recurring. They will automatically renew after the end of each paid membership period unless canceled or changed.
-
You choose the length of follow-up visits, which are scheduled in 15-minute increments, based on the complexity of your case and how much you have to discuss. The minimum appointment length is 30 minutes, however, 15-minute appointments may be offered to you in certain circumstances.
If you use all of the minutes included in your membership and want to add more before your membership renews, you can purchase additional minutes. These will not expire at the end of the membership year.
Extra minutes can be purchased in bundles of 60 minutes. Membership discounts apply for example:
Clinician
- Sustain: $600
- Recover: $510 (15% discount)
- Rebuild: $480 (20% discount)
Lifestyle (nutritionist and/or health coach)
- Sustain: $180
- Recover: $153 (15% discount)
- Rebuild: $144 (20% discount)

New members:
If you cancel your membership within 72 hours of executing the membership agreement, but prior to booking any appointments, you will receive a full refund.
If you cancel your membership more than 72 hours after executing the membership agreement, but prior to booking any appointments, you will receive a refund of your full deposit, minus a $75 processing fee.
Initial Consultations:
- If you cancel more than 14 days before the appointment, you will receive a refund of your onboarding fee, minus a $75 processing fee.
- If you cancel within 14 days of the appointment, you will receive a refund of your onboarding fee payment, minus $475 (a $75 processing fee + $400 for the initial consultation spot you reserved).
After the Initial Consultation has taken place, there are no refunds of the onboarding fee.
Existing members:
If you choose to cancel your membership, you are required to give us 30 days' written notice. The cancellation policy is as follows:
When you cancel early (prior to the end of your annual term), there will be a $250 service fee charged, along with a charge for any fees associated with services used if the membership fees you have paid equal less than the services used, according to the following rates:
- Clinician Follow-up Visits: $300 for 30 min, $450 for 45 min, $600 for 60 min
- Nutritionist Follow-up Session: $90 for 30 min, $135 for 45 min, $180 for 60 min
- Health Coach Follow-up Session: $90 for 30 min, $135 for 45 min, $180 for 60 min
If you pay annually for your membership, your refund will be the annual payment, minus the onboarding deep dive (if applicable), minus the $500 service fee, minus the monthly membership fee for the months of your membership used. For example, if you paid annually for a Recover membership and cancel after 4 months of your membership, your refund will be $3300 - $1000 - $250 - $880 ($220/month x 4 months) = $1170 (this amount will be less if you have paid less than the amount of services used, as described above). Please contact us for details and we will calculate the exact amount of your refund.
-
The cost of labs, supplements, devices, and medications are not included, however, some tests and medications may be covered by your health insurance.
We will provide a list of recommended laboratory studies and you can check your insurance plan coverage (PPO insurance frequently provides at least partial coverage for routine blood work at labs like Quest and LabCorp, but coverage is highly variable depending on your plan). Any labs not covered by your insurance will need to be prepaid to CCFM (most functional medicine labs are in this category). If medications are not covered by your insurance we can help you find discounts through companies like www.goodrx.com, or other pharmacies. Note there is a $100 administrative fee for lab kits. Supplements can be ordered through our partners, Wellevate and Fullscript.
Check out our supplement store on Fullscript.

-
CCFM is a specialty consultation clinic. We recommend that all patients maintain a relationship with a primary care provider. We do not provide after-hours and on-call services and are not able to provide urgent care or emergency services. If you have an emergency, we recommend that you seek care at an urgent care or emergency room.
For female patients, we also recommend that you maintain a relationship with an OB/GYN as we do not provide women’s health care such as pap smears.
-
We believe that a care team approach with clinicians, nutritionists, health coaches, and patient care coordinators is the best way to help you recover your health.
Our Health Coaches will be a key member of your care team. As a member of the Recover and Rebuild memberships, you will meet with your coach for initial hour-long consultation and three 30-minute follow-up visits. After that, you will have easy contact via asynchronous communication by text and portal messages.
If you need additional longer visits, you will have the option to purchase additional support bundles. A bundle of 60 Lifestyle Minutes for support from your nutritionist or health coach is $180 (before plan discounts are applied). The discounts included in your membership plan will be applied when you purchase the bundle.
-
We worked very hard to design our new membership offerings with the goal of helping our patients recover their health fully and succeed at the hard work needed to make the health behavior change we ask people to do. With our experience taking care of thousands of patients with complex health conditions, we have learned that it is important to include nutrition and health coaching in addition to clinician services.
Our exams are diagnostic, seeking to detect and assist or avoid illness, and are delivered on a routine, regardless of apparent condition or need basis. These routine exams are designed to be outside Medicare or any public payer coverage.
Because of our membership model, we are able to offer you the benefit of supporting our routine exams with a health data storage and communication plan that is intended to facilitate our healthcare professionals’ abilities to provide you healthcare support. -
We have a variety of clinicians on staff as part of your care team. Some patients are best suited for ongoing treatment with a nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA), while others are better suited with an MD as their lead clinician. After your first appointment, our team will discuss your case and will determine which clinician is the best fit. If it is determined one of our MDs is the best fit for your case, you may still have follow-up appointments with our NP or PA in between appointments with your MD, based on the availability of their schedule.
-
COVID-19 has allowed us to temporarily not require in-office appointments. Please be aware that if/when things shift back to how they were pre-COVID-19, we do ask that you have an in-person appointment with your clinician at least once per year if you live outside of a state in which your clinician is licensed, which are:
Sunjya Schweig, MD: AZ, CA, CO, FL
Ramzi Asfour, MD: AZ, AL, CA, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, MI, MN, MT, NV, NH, UT, WA, WI
Megan Anderson, APN: CA, CO, FL
Tracey O'Shea, FNP-C: AZ, CA, CO, MD, NJ, NY, OR, VA, VT, WA
Allie Nowak, PA-C: CA, MN
You may choose to schedule follow-up appointments by phone or by video.

-
No, we are not currently taking international patients. We apologize, but it is very difficult to order testing, supplements, and medication for international patients, so we are not able to treat patients outside of the US at this time.
-
Our clinician visits can frequently be reimbursed as an out-of-network provider on many insurance plans. We will provide a superbill (including ICD-10 codes for diagnosis and CPT codes for services performed) that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend that you call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask them what your out-of-network coverage is since reimbursement varies depending on your individual plan.
Medicare participants cannot use their coverage to pay for care.
Some labs, such as LabCorp and Quest, can bill your insurance for the tests ordered, however, CCFM cannot guarantee the amount of coverage you will get. Contact your insurance plan for more details.
At CCFM, we continually strive to do a better job of streamlining and optimizing the process. We will continue to investigate ways to bill for services like remote patient monitoring (RPM) for use and management of data from devices like the Oura ring, Apple watch, Fitbit, Garmin, etc.
If you would like assistance submitting the claim to your insurance company, we recommend using Medical Bill Gurus. They do not charge anything up front, will help ensure your claim is submitted for maximum reimbursement, and their fee is 20% of what your reimbursement is.
-
We can complete prior authorizations for medications we prescribe for a $75 fee. We do recommend you first contact your insurance to find out your copay/deductible amounts will be as sometimes the medications are never covered.
www.goodrx.com is a great resource to see what the self-pay price for the medication might be, as many often end up being less than the $75 + your copay/deductible.
-
Our combination of routine exam and related health data storage and communication services are designed to be eligible medical expenses and thus HSA/HRA/FSA eligible, but check with your tax expert or HRA/FSA plan administrator to confirm this.
-
The exact lab testing recommended by our clinicians will depend on your individual circumstances but may include:
- Blood tests for specific conditions, such as 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.
- Genetic testing for methylation and mold susceptibility.
-
Our individualized care means we take into consideration your needs, preferences, and budget. The cost of laboratory tests recommended during the Assessment process can range from $500 – $4,200. Supporting you in this process is our top priority—all testing is customized specifically for you and we also offer flexibility by staggering the 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 cost of some testing includes a test administration fee.
-
The fee for supplements that are prescribed as part of your treatment plan during the Assessment process is typically $170 – $2,300. This can be customized based on budgetary constraints. This cost depends on the protocol(s) recommended to treat your condition, and these estimates represent 1-4 months of treatment.
Ongoing supplement fees during follow-up care vary considerably depending on the patient and treatment plan, but average $150–$350/month.
-
We are passionate about using cutting-edge technology and wearable devices to help gain deeper insights into your lifestyle habits, symptoms, and as adjunct tools to your recommended treatment plan. Some of the technology we use with our patients include:
- Oura Ring
- HeartMath biofeedback
- Home sleep monitoring devices
- Ooler sleep system
- Infrared saunas
- Apps (Cronometer food tracking, Calm, Buddhify, Insight Timer, Breathwerk, The Tapping Solution, Pzizz, f.lux, and more)
We will use your current data from devices you own, and or recommend systems to use if you are interested. These devices and apps are not required, but are an exciting part of our care system. Device costs are extra and your responsibility.
-
