Primary Healthcare

Primary care is offered by our certified nurse practitioners. We are happy to accept new patients and address their needs. We are able to accept patients of all ages, prescribe medications for treatment, order laboratory work, and write referrals as needed.

Primary care at our clinic is designed for complex patients. We are able to do routine things like physicals, basic medication refills, and other acute medical needs; but the majority of our patients come for more complex health issues. Since our clinic is designed as such, all policies and prices are made with complex patient care in mind.

The cost of an appointment is based on a $400 / hour rate. Most appointments last between 30-45 minutes which would equate to $200 to $295. If an appointment reaches one hour, the charge is $395.

Reminder about Insurance AHP Integrative Health cannot accept insurance directly. Some lab testing can be done through insurance, but all other services are due at time of appointment. Some patients take copies of their Superbill receipts to insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is the policy of your insurance company and not AHP Integrative Health. We recommend contacting your insurance before being seen to see if they will offer that service to you. We do accept HSAs, Care Credit, and Health Savings Plans. Some patients also use church fund organizations. We can submit medical bills to them as well for payment.

Out-of-State Patients Patients who are outside the state of Ohio are required to have an in-person appointment when becoming a new patient. We are unable to place lab orders or medication orders for out-of-state patients until they have had an in-person appointment. After the initial appointment, they may do telehealth for follow-up but will be required to come into the clinic one time each year for an in-person appointment.

Please Note: If your symptoms and history are complex enough. You may be asked to do a nurse intake instead of an initial appointment with your provider. A nurse intake would result in you having a phone call appointment with one of our nurses who would document your medical history and symptoms. Based on your discussion, your provider may recommend laboratory work prior to coming for your initial in-person visit.

Once the laboratory work is back, you will have your first initial appointment with the provider. In that appointment, you will review any lab results and create your treatment plan together.

Billing for these appointments is handled differently. The total charge is $600 for both the nurse intake and initial appointment together. $200 is due after the nurse intake and $400 is due after the initial appointment. The nurse intake appointment prevents patients from having to have two appointments with a provider; one to order labs and the other to follow-up. The nurse intake approach ends up saving the patient both time and money.
