Functional Medicine is a science-based approach to holistic medical care and is effective for a wide variety of conditions and concerns.  Through personalized, precision testing and evaluation of your complete health history we focus on the root cause of your illness, and help your body restore balance with the least invasive treatment possible. Functional Medicine, rather than targeting individual symptoms, focuses on correcting the biochemical and nutritional imbalances of the body and its organs.

Nancy addresses most chronic symptoms of weight gain, fatigue, depression, hormone imbalances and digestive problems that are sometimes overlooked by the conventional medical, symptom-based treatment model. Nancy’s approach is a lab-based, natural health protocol that tests and identifies the dysfunction of the core body systems. Often these systems become compromised long BEFORE the symptoms appear. Lab tests are used to determine the support needed to rebalance your body back to its normal state.

Once your first appointment is scheduled (after your initial free consult) you will need to complete all history forms online at least 5 days prior to the scheduled appointment. Your appointment will last 75-90 minutes to allow for in-depth conversation, analysis, and ordering of lab tests. You will leave with actionable health steps to take while awaiting your lab results and follow up visit.

Initial programs range from 4-9 months, depending on the degree of your health condition. Typically, patients follow up after that at least annually for maintenance care and testing.

Complete functional medicine assessments require a 5-6 month commitment to care.  I have learned over the years that a program with regular visits in a shorter period of time is where we see the best results.  Below are the two memberships that are currently offered.

All patients start with a $550 setup fee.  Programs can be paid in monthly installments, or if paid in full there is a $100 discount on this fee.

Nancy Bahnsen, PA-C and FxWW are out of network and do not bill insurances. However, our services are covered under FSA/HSA health plans and most insurances will cover conventional blood tests. Payment is expected at the time of service. We can provide you with a receipt for services (or “superbill”) which you may submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement. We have opted-out of Medicare and cannot submit your appointment fees for any coverage.

Payment is due at the time of consultation. If paying by credit or debit card, the card number is required to be on file with our office prior to the consultation. Checks are also accepted if received prior to the consultation.

Laboratory testing is billed separately from your healthcare visit services. Conventional blood testing may be billed to your covered insurance at any Labcorp or Quest Diagnostics. Many of the specialty labs provide competitive cash prices for lab tests.

Nancy Bahnsen, PA-C and Fx Wellness Works serve as a functional medicine consultant in conjunction with your current healthcare team, and are not considered a replacement for your primary care provider. We require all patients to have a primary care physician to cover emergencies and routine care and screenings.

Nancy Bahnsen selects and prescribes personalized supplement plans only from supplement companies who source the purest products with industry standard manufacturing (cGMP).  Most commonly this is through an online dispensary (Designs for Health or Fullscript), and a 20-25% discount is extended to all clients and their families.

We completely understand that many times prioritizing a wellness plan requires major life changes.  Our preference is to start small and make changes or additions your health progresses.  Often keeping a health journal allows one to stay on track, and shows the progression that we often forget when we need a little inspiration.  Nancy can provide you with a convenient app that will help you to long and track your progress.

We are based in San Rafael, California. Visits are conducted on a secure, HIPAA compliant video platform, where you will meet with me face-to-face electronically from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you choose to be on a desktop, laptop, or mobile device.  When necessary and safe to do so, we will meet in person at my Napa or Novato, California offices.

Nancy Bahnsen and FxWW require a 48-hour notice of cancellation.  Any cancellations received after that time will be charged a $200 fee due to the time and effort already put in to prepare for your appointment.
