Frequently Asked Questions
ﭬ
What is Optimal Bone Health?
Optimal Bone Health MD (OBH) is a physician led comprehensive approach to optimizing bone health. We look to Recognize the causes of bone loss, Reverse those causes, Retest to verify that we are headed in the right direction, and Revive your life so you don't have to live in fear of fracture.
ﭬ
Do you take insurance?
No, we DO NOT accept or file insurance for services. We cannot communicate with your insurance company for any reason. We exist outside of the insurance driven healthcare market. As a culture we have come to rely on health insurance to pay for all things related to health but in reality this is a relatively new concept that has helped to escalate the rapidly increasing cost of care. We believe that health insurance should be viewed like care insurance. If you get into an accident your needs should be covered but if you want to jack up your truck, tint your windows or improve your exhaust you wouldn’t expect your car insurance to pay for that. If you want to use premium fuel rather than regular for improved performance you wouldn’t be deterred because your insurance wouldn’t pay for it. Health optimization should be viewed through the same lens. We negotiate cash prices for blood labs and functional testing that can be less than 10% of insurance rates. Between these rate differences, deductibles, co-insurance and the unpredictable nature of insurance coverage you may OBH to cost less than other programs that are “covered” by insurance.
ﭬ
Can I use my insurance to pay for my labs?
OBH exists outside of insurance networks intentionally. From this position we are able to negotiate better rates for lab costs. While insurance may cover some labs we are interested in under some circumstances we have found that trying to run labs through insurance increases the cost significantly overall. Depending on your plan you may end up paying more with insurance than without. Unfortunately, this is usually not clear until months after the services are rendered and the method of billing cannot be reversed. For that reason we no longer have the ability to order labs through insurance and will only run labs through our discounted negotiated rates.
ﭬ
Can I use insurance to pay for any medications prescribed by OBH contracted physicians?
Maybe! Some pharmaceuticals we can prescribe to your local pharmacy. If that pharmacy will file the insurance for you it may be covered. OBH will not submit authorization forms to your insurance company for prescriptions. Most of what we prescribe comes from our compounding pharmacy partners who's quality and product we rely on.
ﭬ
Do you offer Primary Care?
No, we do not provide primary care and require that all patients have access to primary care or urgent care while working with OBH.
ﭬ
What makes Optimal Bone Health different?
