Do you have or suspect you have at least one of these conditions: Long COVID, ME/CFS, COVID vaccine related illness, mast cell activation, dysautonomia (i.e. POTS or orthostatic hypotension), IBS, SIBO, Hashimotos thyroiditis, or hypothyroidism?
YESNO
10
Do you have a primary care doctor you've seen in the past 1 year?
YESNO
11
Do you/will you have active health insurance over the next 1 year period?
YESNO
12
Which insurance plan will you have over the next year?* This field is required.We found that Kaiser, Medicare, Medicaid/MediCal, VA/Tricare and several HMO insurance plans either require an in-network provider to order all the labs we request (and most of those providers either cannot or will not order everything we need), or the insurer ends up not paying for many of the labs we order and the patient gets a big surprise bill - which is awful! Thus we are not accepting patients with those insurance plans until we can figure out a better work around.
Kaiser Permanente
Medicaid or MediCal
VA or TRICARE
Oscar
Molina
Other health insurance plan
Medicare

16
Are you willing and/or able to leave your home for imaging, blood draws, or in-person exams/treatments when requested by a RTHM provider?* This field is required.
YESNO
17
Costs for your care and treatments are likely to exceed $1500/month, in some cases significantly so. Is this within your budget?* This field is required.For several of the conditions we treat, there are no FDA-approved treatments for them (everything is used off-label), so insurance often doesn't cover them despite submitting prior authorizations. Some lab testing is also not covered by insurance. We have worked with 3rd parties to get discounts for our patients on testing and treatments where we can, but we cannot control the prices other companies charge for their testing and treatments. One of RTHM's goals is to carefully collect data on what testing and treatments are highest yield for improving patients' health to ultimately try and get insurance coverage for them - hence our strong emphasis on data!
