Tele-Health Functional Medicine & Nutrition Consultations
In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, tele-health is the best way to ensure ongoing safety for everyone. We’ve been using tele-health as a part of our practice as a way to connect with patients all over the world. Dr. Scott Banks is 100% committed to helping you achieve your health goals and we are able to do that using this format!
How Tele-Health Works:
How Tele-Health Works:
- Intake Forms: Our intake forms are done electronically and sent directly to Dr. Banks once completed through a HIPAA secured portal.
- Cost: Because you’ll be provided with the same level of care through our tele-health consultations as our in-person ones, the cost of each appointment is the same.
- Initial Consult Appointments: Patients will be seen via a free HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform called Zoom and will last approximately 60-90 minutes.
- Testing: For any tests that Dr. Banks recommends, your testing kits and orders can be sent directly to your home. Conventional lab testing can be done through any lab that your insurance participates with. If you do not have insurance, we are able to offer discounted out of pocket fees at certain labs.
Functional Medicine specialty testing of urine, saliva, stool, and breath can be done at home as we normally do. We will send the kits to you and you can complete them to send them back to the labs directly. All shipping labels and boxes are provided. - Follow Up Appointments: This is typically booked 1-2 weeks after your initial consultation. These will also be done via tele-health given the current situation we are in.
