FAQs About Functional Care
Do you take my insurance?
What you will find is that insurance is not compatible with functional care—even if your previous Dr. say otherwise.
The reasons for this are complex, having to do with how insurance companies view your case. Broadly speaking, insurance is meant as a safety net—to cover you in emergencies, such as with organ failure, or genetic and structural defect. Over decades this has led to expansion of coverage for sick care visits and annual check-ups, and is meant to bring you down a path that is pharmaceutically driven.
No, and here’s why: If that model worked for you then you would not need me. To take that a step further, it is insurance companies that cause the system of chaos you are trying to break free from. They constrain doctors to only the briefest amount of time possible, requiring them to refer you out once you’ve exceeded their prescription. In my world, insurance is a disaster.
How soon can I book a consult?
You are welcome to book your discovery call today and speak with Cynthia, our program coordinator. We are a selective practice, bringing on only six to eight new patients each month. She will ask about your current struggle, find out where you could use some support, and share with you what we do. If it’s a match, you’ll be invited to meet Dr. Pucci directly — Our system is designed so that you’ll achieve high-level, one-on-one support from start to finish.
How often do I meet with Dr. Pucci?
For patients enrolled in our Better Me program, you’ll have regular in-depth interpretation sessions with Dr. Pucci —each lasting 60 to 75 minutes. These are not quick check-ins, but real conversations designed to guide, course-correct, and support you deeply. Our model is a structured, 6 months program of testing and supportive care that is based on collaboration, not time. So, generally speaking you will meet with Dr. Pucci frequently in the early phase as we initiate our evaluation and as often as needed at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Can I pay over time?
Our approach is not piecemeal, it is a front-loaded roll out that includes testing and logistics. For example, we order and schedule your functional lab testing right away, and work with you to keep and sustain momentum. This approach ensures nothing delays your progress. We certainly feel comfortable recommending CareCredit for its promotional financing terms, and will accept all forms of payment ourselves.
What kinds of tests are included?
We tailor testing to your individual needs, but most patients will receive a full GI microbiome analysis and a nutrient panel with organic acid profile that reveals how your body is functioning at a cellular level. These help us build a personalized roadmap that’s precise and actionable.
Can I still use insurance for blood work?
As part of your program we’ll review your prior bloodwork and, if needed, provide a lab script for Quest or Labcorp so you can use your insurance for that. Those are for routine labs like thyroid, glucose levels, iron panels, blood chemistry, hormones, inflammatory markers, and liver/kidney function.
Who can I call for questions?
Begin with a Discovery Call. It’s quick, free, and designed to help us understand what you’re facing—and if our program is right for you. If it is, we’ll guide you through the next steps with no pressure.
