INDIVIDUALIZED & PERSONALIZED FUNCTIONAL AND NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE ASSESSMENTS
Services:
-Consultation advice which includes an assessment from a Clinical Specialist trained in Conventional, Naturopathic, & Functional Medicine. The Naturopathic Principles regard the whole person and aim to get to the underlying root of your issue. It is not considered optimal to control biochemistry by suppressing and hiding symptoms through drug therapy without addressing the cause of the dysfunction. Functional Medicine provides insight into your unique biochemistry and offers biological means in how supplements or medications affect your particular body. These two medical paradigms are rooted in an understanding of conventional medicine and how it interacts with integrative therapies.
–A spacious consultation with my undivided attention, as I see one patient at a time. With the initial consultation, you get a thorough review of your health records, healthy history, additional research time (post and prior to the appointment), and follow through to other providers if necessary.
-A Comprehensive Health History. This includes a detailed consultation summary and your own individualized and integrated treatment plan. This summary is in the form of letter addressed to your primary or specialty provider in which you may choose to share for an integrated and collaborative approach. The letter will also include suggested lab work and rationale, that may have not have been considered conventionally, and to be run by your PCP related to insurance coverage. (Naturopathic Medicine is not covered under insurance in NYS).

INITIAL CONSULTATIONS AND FEES:
Typical individualized assessments run for approximately one and a half hours to two hours. The initial fee usually ranges approximately $175-$295 related to the case, history, and research needed outside of the consultation. (For an estimate of your case, please ask while scheduling your appointment.)
Initial consultation forms and $100 prepayment are required to hold your 1 1/2 hr-2 hour consultation slot and research prior to your appointment. This fee is included and part of the initial consultation fee. It is suggested that patients confirm their appointments 3-4 days prior to their scheduled appointment to make sure all paperwork is received.
**In NYS, insurance does not cover Naturopathic or Functional Medicine consultations. Although, Dr. LoBisco is a licensed Naturopathic Physician, NYS does not currently license Naturopathic Physicians as Primary Care Providers.
**Please call us for more information regarding our initial consultation fees. Currently, new patient appointments are available within 6-8 weeks, mostly based on referral.
FOLLOW UP & ADDITIONAL CONSULTATIONS
$90 for Consultation Follow up (approximately 45 minutes)***
$35.00/15 minutes acute consultations are available for established patients in between monthly visits
$150 Extended Follow up (120 minutes) available to current clients

**Baseline intake only wellness & supplement consultations are available for a fee of $175 for 1 hour and one follow up visit is strongly recommended.
***Follow ups are intended to continue to support your body as it heals by (1) discussing the blocks to implementing lifestyle changes, (2) updating your nutritional protocols, and (3)assessing changes in blood chemistry. Once maintenance is reached, follow ups are generally every 3-6 months. It is not recommended that one stay stagnant in a protocol. I urge all my patients to be active participants in their health. Our therapeutic work together is most successful when it is collaborative, which requires both patient and physician alike to maintain accountability throughout.
Cancellation Policy: Due to the administrative work, training, and time Dr. LoBisco puts into individualized treatment plans between visits, patients are subject to a $25 cancellation fee for missed appointments or cancellations the day prior to the appointment. Patients who give no notification of cancellation of appointments or less than 24 hours will be billed via PayPal the cost of the full assessment. Please note that regular assessment is critical and follow ups are generally re-scheduled within 3-4 weeks with adequate notice.
