Frequently Asked Questions

Is functional medicine covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for functional medicine varies, but most comprehensive functional medicine practices don't accept insurance – and here's why that might actually benefit you. Insurance dictates treatment protocols and limits the time practitioners can spend with patients. By staying outside the insurance model, we can provide the thorough, personalized care you deserve. The good news? HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds can often be used for functional medicine services, though you'll need to contact your provider to confirm your specific coverage. This makes our care much more accessible than many people realize.We offer very affordable payment plans that make our care accessible. Consider this: some people pay $1,000 a month for peptide prescriptions alone. Our comprehensive approach to addressing root causes often costs less than the medications you're currently taking to manage symptoms.

Is functional medicine the same as holistic medicine?

Functional medicine and holistic medicine share some similarities – both view the body as an interconnected system and both consider lifestyle factors in health. However, functional medicine is distinguished by its rigorous use of advanced testing and evidence-based protocols. While some holistic approaches rely on intuition or traditional practices, functional medicine uses "testing, not guessing." We use sophisticated lab work to identify specific imbalances and monitor your progress objectively. This scientific foundation, combined with a holistic perspective, gives us the best of both worlds.

How can I find the best functional medicine doctor near me in Michigan?

The most important factor isn't proximity – it's alignment. Make sure the practitioner's values and beliefs about health align with yours. Look for someone who takes time to understand your story, uses comprehensive testing, and sees health as more than just the absence of symptoms. Ask about their approach to treatment. Do they focus on one cause for all problems, or do they understand the complexity of chronic illness? Do they educate and empower patients, or create dependence? Do they have realistic timelines for healing, or do they promise quick fixes? Most importantly, trust your instincts. The right practitioner will make you feel heard, understood, and hopeful about your healing journey.

Can I book a virtual consultation with a functional medicine doctor if I don't live nearby?

Absolutely! We offer both in-person and virtual consultations via Zoom. Many of our most successful patient relationships have been conducted virtually, allowing us to work with people throughout Michigan and beyond.Virtual consultations are particularly effective for functional medicine because so much of our work involves education, protocol adjustments, and ongoing support. Lab work can be completed locally, and we can coordinate with local providers when hands-on care is needed. The key to successful virtual functional medicine is finding practitioners who are skilled at creating connection and providing comprehensive care through digital platforms. Technology allows us to extend our reach and help more people access the life-changing care they deserve.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer payment plans through CareCredit. CareCredit offers up to 18 months at 0% interest. Payment plans can be as low as $125 a month. You can apply online for CareCredit or call (800) 365-8295.

Can I use my flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) for your services?

In most cases, your care here will be covered through a FSA or a HSA. However, we recommend you contact your account coordinator to ensure that your plan will cover your expenses.

What kind of testing might the doctor recommend?

The majority of patients are recommended to take a comprehensive blood test evaluating over 80 different bio-markers and all of the primary organ systems of the body. The doctor will also recommend additional testing depending on your unique case and goals. The testing we offer can include but are not limited to a stool test, a hormone test, a food sensitivity test or in depth nutritional test.

What is the next step after the consultation?

If your case is accepted and you are admitted to care, the next step is to complete the testing your doctor ordered, schedule your next visit to go over the test results. At your next scheduled visit you will then start your first nutraceutical protocol and get recommended dietary changes.

What can I expect during my consultation?

Your consultation will be scheduled for 30 minutes but the total time you are in the clinic can take 40-90 minutes total. During your consultation we will let you know if we can accept your case and admit you to care. In order to accept your case we will need to first, determine if we can help you and secondly, make sure you are willing and able to do what it takes in order for us to help you. If those two requirements are met and your case is admitted we will go over the required testing, care plan outline and financial obligations of your specific care plan.

Thoughts From Our Clients

"We've been working with Dr. Shields and Dr. Simmons since August and have been feeling great! We had health issues that were never addressed and at one point, my muscles were in pain all the time from working out and I wasn't losing weight. My OB shared that "this is just you getting older and you'll have to get used it!" I did not accept that. Dr. Simmons understood and it was fixed within a few days of starting a supplement that I needed!!Please don't settle for being uncomfortable, ignored or left to suffer! There is a much better way and these people have it!Thank you to Rachel, Dr. Sheilds, Dr. Simmons and the amazing support staff! Healthy hugs to you all!"

"Today marks day 80 of my wellness journey with Integrative Wellness Centers. 80 days without sugar, bread, dairy, and wheat. I know, a lot of you say “I could never give up sweets, or bread, etc.” But when you feel like I felt, as if something was looming, like you are but a breath away from a life changing health crisis. You will do anything! With the guidance of doctor Shields, doctor Simmons, and nutritional health coach Jamie Sue Hill I.N.H.C, I’ve done just that! I’ve met my goal weight (This isn’t about weight loss, but it is a healthy side effect!) and feeling amazing! Several inflammatory markers that were extremely high in the initial blood work are now nullified! I’m now no longer pre-diabetic! My liver enzymes are now all normal and my cholesterol is phenomenal! I exercise 30 minutes a day, and look forward to it! I’m excited, to continue this journey and unlock more health benefits of proper nutrition and exercise! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Integrative Wellness Centers, for giving me my life back!o diam libero."
