New Patient Info for Holistic Healthcare in Tucson

The current system of healthcare in the U.S. doesn’t prioritize patients’ best interests. In fact, it treats each patient like just another number.

What to Expect as a New Patient

New patients will first need to complete lab work ahead of their initial appointment, as well as an in-depth patient questionnaire. This allows Dr. Bybee to investigate the likely culprits for your health problems, thereby making the first appointment more productive. Your first appointment will be quite lengthy, and you can expect to talk about everything from nutrition to sleep to energy levels and beyond. Follow-up appointments are necessary to ensure you’re staying on track toward achieving optimal wellness and to make any needed adjustments to your treatment plan.

It is not possible to address every issue in a single visit, particularly if you are someone who has been dealing with chronic issues for many years. Your body has a priority in which issues must be addressed. As the top layer of problems is properly treated the next layer becomes accessible allowing us to go deeper and deeper into your health. You are key to identifying this process, as you notice changes or new symptoms developing as old ones disappear, let us know. These changes are indications it’s time to change your treatment plan. You have just pulled back one of the layers and are ready to address the next.

Insurance and Payment Information

Dr. Bybee’s approach to holistic healthcare in Tucson, Arizona and North Carolina goes far beyond what is typically offered with the traditional model of medicine in America. Rather than simply prescribing a drug to treat the effects of dysfunction, Dr. Bybee digs deep to uncover the root causes and contributing factors. Her holistic, person-centered approach can bring remarkable results and empower her patients to experience true wellness

However, this deviation from the traditional medical model means that insurance won’t cover these treatments. Dr. Bybee is considered out of network for all insurance providers and she is opted-out of Medicare. This means, she does not accept insurance, but does provide the patient “encounter documentation” necessary for patients to request reimbursement. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed; you will need to check with your insurance carrier to determine if you could be eligible for reimbursement. Because Dr. Bybee is Opted-Out of Medicare, Medicare patients cannot file for reimbursement through Medicare.

FAQs & Answers About Holistic Healthcare in Tucson

Where should I get my labs done?

Dr Bybee will provide you with a lab order. If you have insurance, please provide your insurance card and we will include this information with your lab order. You can present your order to any lab (i.e. LabCorp, Quest, etc.)

If you chose not to use your insurance or are requesting esoteric lab work, Dr. Bybee will order your labs through specialty companies. These are patient pay labs.  If your insurance does not cover lab work, let us know and we can get the necessary labs done for $250-$300 through one of these labs.

Even if you recently had lab work done for another doctor, Dr. Bybee may still require additional labs. This is because most doctors order only basic lab work that only scratches the surface. With Dr. Bybee’s extensive lab testing, she can piece together the clues about what is happening and why.

Depending on your circumstances, you may require some additional testing not done by traditional labs.

There is no universal treatment plan, as Dr. Bybee doesn’t take a cookie cutter approach to treating her patients. You’ll receive a highly personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your health needs—body, mind, and soul.
The initial appointment is generally two hours, but may last 2.5 hours. Follow-up appointments average an hour, but may be longer if need be.
Once you’re already an established patient with Tucson Valley Functional Medicine, you can schedule either same-day or next-day acute appointments with Dr. Bybee.
