Does wUrthy Health Clinic take insurance? Not anymore :(List Item 2
Starting September 1, 2025, wUrthy Health Clinic will no longer accept insurance.
You may pay for visits with either cash, credit card, flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) if your plan allows for it. This change is necessary due to ongoing challenges with the insurance process, and I believe it will enable me to offer you more efficient, accessible, personal care. Your insurance coverage remains unchanged for services except for your provider visit, lab draw fee, and some cash pay labs (ie. vitamin D).
With this change, I recommend reaching out to your insurance company to see if they will allow you to submit superbills for potential reimbursement, to help offset out of network provider costs. A superbill is a detailed invoice outlining the services rendered during your appointment.
Members can access their insurance provider's website to download a claim form. This is the place where you can submit the superbill I will provide for you. I’m here to help you navigate this process, and we can discuss everything in detail during your appointment. This may help you recover some of your out-of-pocket expenses.

This ensures that I have a comprehensive understanding of your health before conducting any physical examinations or tests.
