Is this CME-accredited?
No. This is an independent educational course and clinical reference tool, not an accredited CME activity. It's designed to build practical, working knowledge, not to satisfy a CME requirement.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Do I need a special license or DEA registration to use this?
The content is written for licensed prescribers (MD/DO, NP, PA). It doesn't grant any prescribing authority; your own license and state scope of practice govern what you're able to prescribe.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06What happens after my year of app access ends?
Your access simply pauses, and nothing is deleted. Renew anytime for $149/year to pick back up where you left off.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can I upgrade from App only to the full course later?
Yes. Reach out and we'll credit what you've already paid toward the Complete Course price.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Is this medical advice?
No. This is educational content for licensed clinicians and does not replace clinical judgment, informed consent, or shared decision-making with your own patients.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Do you take insurance?
No. The practice is cash-pay, which allows longer visits and transparent pricing. You can use HSA or FSA funds, and I provide a superbill after each visit so you can request out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients file through the Reimbursify app.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Do I need to live in Texas?
Yes. I see patients in person at the Austin office, or by secure video anywhere in Texas. For video visits, you need to be in Texas at the time of the appointment.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Are labs included in the visit fee?
No. Functional medicine labs are billed separately because insurance doesn't cover them. Basic bloodwork can often be run through your insurance.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06How many visits will I need?
It depends on what's going on. Most patients have about three follow-ups in the first six months after their new patient visit, and see improvement within the first eight weeks.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can you be my primary care provider?
Yes, through the Integrative Primary Care membership: primary and urgent care visits, messaging, prescriptions, and labs twice a year, for adults anywhere in Texas.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can you prescribe medications?
Yes, including hormone therapy, GLP-1s, mental health medications and antibiotics when appropriate. I don't prescribe controlled substances such as opioids, sedatives or stimulants; testosterone is the one exception.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06How do appointments and messages work?
Everything runs through the Practice Better app: booking, video visits, lab results and secure messages. Questions about your plan between visits are answered through the portal at no extra charge.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06What is integrative direct primary care?
A membership-based, cash-pay model. You pay one monthly fee directly instead of using insurance, and get convenient online visits for acute concerns, chronic conditions, preventive care, medication management and labs, without surprise bills or insurance limits.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can I still use my insurance?
Visits are 100% cash-pay, which allows longer visits and faster access. You can still use your insurance for additional labs, imaging or prescriptions at outside facilities.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Are virtual primary care visits safe and effective?
Yes. Most primary care concerns can be handled safely by secure video, including medication refills, chronic disease management, mental health, gut issues, hormones, weight, skin issues and follow-ups. If you need hands-on care, imaging or labs, I'll refer you to a local facility.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Do you offer in-person visits?
Most visits are virtual and available anywhere in Texas. In-person appointments are available on Fridays in Austin, subject to availability.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can you order labs and imaging?
Yes: bloodwork, hormone and metabolic panels, and imaging such as X-ray, ultrasound, mammogram, CT and MRI. If you have commercial insurance, these may be covered.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06Can you help keep prescriptions affordable?
Yes. Prescriptions can go to your local pharmacy, a mail-order pharmacy or a cash-pay compounding pharmacy, and I'll help you find the most affordable option.
Practice FAQ source · checked 2026-11-06How quickly can I be seen?
Most visits can be scheduled the same or next day. For sick visits, send a message through the patient portal and I'll offer a same- or next-day appointment, including after hours.
