After years of suffering and feeling dismissed, Phylicia finally gave me relief from my chronic pain without just piling on more meds. I’m so grateful!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this is right for me?
Functional medicine is a nontraditional approach to health care, but it has shown to be increasingly beneficial. It is becoming more popular as people understand the importance of addressing the root cause instead of continually managing symptoms. The best way to see if functional medicine and Functionally Balanced Health is right for you is to explore our website and other resources. Book your "Autoimmune Answers” No-Cost Consult Call with us to see if we are a good fit to work together in restoring your health to a functionally balanced state!
How do I become a patient?
Feel free to schedule your “Autoimmune Answers” No-Cost Consult! During this complementary 15-minute call, we will discuss your health concerns and ensure the care we provide meets your health needs. If so, we will send you our initial agreement forms and schedule your first appointment.
What do I need to do before my first appointment?
Please fill out the requested medical questionnaires, intake forms, and consent forms at least 24 hours prior to your first scheduled appointment. Your appointment will be rescheduled if these are not completed prior to your appointment. It is important that we are able to review all questionnaires/forms in a timely manner and be prepared to discuss treatment plans with you.
Do you accept insurance?
Functionally Balanced Health does not participate with any insurance carrier. We can not submit medical claims on your behalf nor assist with any claim resolution, and you will be responsible for submitting any claims to your insurance company.
All services provided by Functionally Balanced Health are billed to you directly as insurance typically does not cover functional medicine. We will accept your Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Savings Account (FSA).
Will you act as my primary care provider?
No, we do not take the place of a conventional primary care provider. While trained in primary care, we do not provide acute care services. Our focus is on preventative care, nutrition, and functional medicine to help address the root causes of your chronic health concerns. You will be required to maintain a relationship with a primary care provider. If you need to be seen urgently or have a medical emergency you will need to be seen at an ER or urgent care center.
Will you prescribe medications?
Prescriptive medications may be used at times, but the primary goal is to optimize your health naturally by addressing underlying imbalances and dysfunctions in the body contributing to your chronic health concerns.
Prescription medications will not be removed if prescribed by another provider. The prescriber will manage the medication entirely according to their discretion. This is to include adjusting doses and providing refills. It is important to note, we will not be acting as your primary care provider.
Do you see patients across the United States?
Due to licensure and legal requirements, we currently only see patients that reside in the state of Tennessee. Our practitioner is licensed in Alabama and Georgia, so we hope to soon be able to see residents of these states also.
Are all visits virtual?
Yes. At this time we only provide telemedicine or virtual functional medicine appointments. We do offer mobile IV therapy and injections to residents of Tennessee living within a 30-mile radius of Shelby County. This offers convenience and flexibility to patients.
Do you see patients of all ages?
At this time, we work with adults strictly.
I’ve completed your 5 month signature program but want to continue appointments to maintain my health. Is this something you offer?
Yes! Prior to completing our 5 month signature program, we will discuss your health concerns and together determine what will be needed to further sustain your restored balance and health.
