A BETTER YOU STARTS HERE

 

HEALTH CARE RE-IMAGINED

 

Dedication. Compassion. Trust. Access. Empowerment. Partnership. Innovation. These are PHW's core values that empower our patients when it comes to their health. We best serve those patients whom truly value their health and well-being as their top priority. Most of our patients are physician or self-referrals who come to us for any or all of the following reasons:

• "I want to rely less on toxic pharmaceutical medications"
• "I'm not satisfied with the common rushed, impersonal patient experience"
• "I want to embrace my health and well-being in the most natural and holistic way"
• "No other health care provider can figure out why I don't feel well or why I am not getting better"
• "I'm otherwise healthy, but want to optimize my energy, physical activity recovery, sleep, diet, cognition, etc."
• "I'm willing to make the necessary diet and lifestyle changes to support my optimal health and lifelong wellness"

As a holistically focused, relationship-based health care practice, PHW advocates whole body wellness - the optimal balance physically, emotionally, and socially to experience your daily life to its fullest for the highest quality of life. We value open communication and transparency with our patients. We work diligently to earn each patient's personal comfort, trust, and confidence for engaging patient experiences.

Our comprehensive health care services are available to everyone, including uninsured patients. We offer both conventional participating health plan-based health care and more advanced personalized health care for your convenience.

 

PARTICIPATING HEALTH PLAN-BASED HEALTH CARE OPTION

 

We offer high quality health plan care for patients seeking to take advantage of their participating in-network Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) health plans memberships to pay for their health care. Our health plan care follows conventional health plan-based care scope, focus, and protocols. We directly bill participating in-network BCBS PPO health plans on behalf of our BCBS PPO health plan care patients for each appointment, and health plan care patients are financially responsible for all their BCBS PPO health plan co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses at the time of their appointment.

 

ADVANCED PERSONALIZED HEALTH CARE OPTION

 

We also offer innovative personalized health care for patients seeking greater insight into their root health and wellness. Our personalized care is an exclusive self-pay program for more unlimited and enhanced health care than our select health plan health care. Our personalized care protocols go above and beyond the scope of conventional health plan care protocols to include:

• We orchestrate science, nature, and the most current data-driven research with action for precision diagnosis. We provide advanced, state-of-the-art testing and in-depth root cause analysis versus conventional health care disease-focused evaluation and basic standard of care protocols. We partner with highly specialized, leading edge medical labs and testing facilities to accurately identify underlying inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired immunity bio-markers that result in poor health and illness.
• We investigate a spectrum of selective health factors, including genetics, immunity, gut health, metabolic pathways, toxins, and parasites. We meticulously identify any hidden, underlying, stealth root causes to precisely target and treat. We perform personalized nutrition and lifestyle analyses to be cognizant of the big picture of patient health because poor diet and toxic, stressful lifestyles frequently lead to chronic illnesses and diseases.
• We harmonize holistic, functional, integrative, precision, natural, performance, complementary, restorative, alternative, lifestyle, and allopathic medicine elements to highly personalize patient treatment rather than the conventional health care's cookie cutter pharmaceuticals and surgery-driven approach. Functional Medicine is an evidence-based, biological systems approach to health care focused on the root cause of illness because total healing and health restoration are only possible when the root cause of illness and symptoms are precisely identified and treated. As a Functional Medicine practice, we specialize in the inter-related, integrated core body systems and how their functions can be naturally restored to further prevent, even reverse, many chronic illnesses.
• We offer expanded treatment options versus basic standard of care treatment. We personalize bio-medical treatments, through a wide range of conventional and integrative modalities, including detoxification, lifestyle management, and nutritional therapy through diet optimization and premium medical-grade nutraceutical supplements specific to your unique composition, needs, and health conditions. We closely coordinate with patient health care providers for a 360 degree patient health care perspective.
• We continuously pursue new, cutting-edge natural treatments to reduce, even eliminate, the need for pharmaceutical medications altogether. We guide our patients every step of the way to make the necessary wholesome diet and holistic lifestyle changes to promote natural balance restoration and total health revitalization towards lasting wellness.

WHY PERSONALIZED HEALTH CARE?

 

Our health plan-based health care offers the convenience of using your participating BCBS PPO health plans to pay for high quality health plan care. However, all health plans limit the scope and focus of our practice, including the amount of time that we can spend with you. Health plans also only recognize standard or routine health-plan restricted health care and consider our more advanced personalized health care to be optional. On the other hand, our forward-thinking personalized care bypasses health plan restrictions placed on us altogether when it comes to your health and your health care. By not being bound by health plans restrictions, we can offer you the most innovative health care services with the widest range of the very best treatments above and beyond conventional health care protocols. Some other key differences to seriously consider include:

 

Practice Scope

• Health Plan Care: Conventional Allopathic Medicine-centric diagnosis and treatment
• Personalized Care: Advanced Holistic-Functional-Integrative-Alternative Medicine diagnosis and treatment

Health Care Focus

• Health Plan Care: Standard symptoms-based prescriptions and surgical health care
• Personalized Care: Advanced precision, preventative, wellness health care

Appointments

• Health Plan Care: Standard limited appointments scheduling and frequency; brief appointment time duration
• Personalized Care: Advanced unlimited, on-demand appointments; maximum appointment time duration

Access

• Health Plan Care: Standard office hours provider and staff access
• Personalized Care: Advanced office and after-hours provider and staff access

NOTE: We are currently in-network only with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) health care plans. We do not currently participate Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente, Medicare, Medicaid, United Healthcare, Tricare, etc. PHW directly bills participating BCBS PPO health plans on behalf of our BCBS PPO health plan patients. BCBS PPO health plan patients are financially responsible for all of their specific health plan co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses due at the time of their appointment. We offer uninsured and patients with non-participating health plans only our self-pay advanced personalized health care. BCBS PPO health plan care patients may also opt in for personalized care as an available self-pay option. Many health plans reimburse up to 100% of personalized care self-payments. We can provide you, upon request, your appointment superbill to submit to your health plan for reimbursement. Contact your health plan's Membership Services to learn more. We also accept Flexible Spending Account (FSA)/Health Spending Account (HSA) funded PHW concierge health care self payments only if approved by the FSA/HSA account benefits or health plan administrator. FSA and HSA funds may also be used to pay for specialty testing and nutraceutical supplements that are not covered by health care plans. Contact your FSA/HSA benefits or health plan administrator to learn more.

 

PERSONALIZED HEALTH CARE FEES

 

PHW offers reasonable personalized health care self-pay fees for a premier level of health care. Personalized care fees do vary by appointment and on a case-by-case basis. Fees are typically based on:

• The complexity of patient health issues and medical conditions presented at the time of the appointment.
• Our provider's dedicated appointment time, including medical preparation and patient medical information review time.
• All personalized health care services rendered at the time of the patient appointment.

Please always contact our office before-hand to discuss your estimated personalized health care self pay fees.

 

NOTE: Personalized care fees are not inclusive of any optional administrative or health care services fees, including third party medical records, patient forms, disability determinations, dietary counseling, special reports, etc., which are also not covered by health plans, and therefore are solely the patient's financial responsibility. Patients are solely financially responsible for all of their third party health care coordination services, including labs, pharmacies, imaging, etc. if not covered by their health plans.
