HAVEN operates on a fee-for-service model, meaning that visits are paid for at the time of service. Superbills may be provided upon request for patients to submit to their insurance companies, though reimbursement is not guaranteed. Nicole does not participate in this process aside from providing the patient with their Superbill document.

Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This approach recognizes that each patient has unique needs, and may encompass various modalities, such as nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes, to personalize care and promote overall wellness. By integrating different healing practices, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of treatments and support patients on their journey to optimal health.

I'm happy to be your go-to for a variety of health concerns and to provide support for your wellness journey. However, I do not function as a primary care provider, and I recommend that you maintain your primary care provider for routine health needs. My practice serves as a consultant service, focusing on specific health issues and providing specialized guidance to enhance your overall care with tailored insights and treatment options.

No, labs are not included in the overall cost. After discussing your case during the initial evaluation, we will go over lab options. Typically, patients are referred to facilities that accept their insurance, ensuring coverage for most tests. However, I also have access to alternative lab companies that offer more advanced testing, which would be an additional out-of-pocket expense. While this advanced testing is not usually required, there may be instances where it could provide significant benefits for your health.

Supplements are not included in the overall cost. However, I provide patients access to my FullScript dispensary, where you can find your personalized protocol at a discounted price, featuring high-quality supplements. While participation in this program is not mandatory, it offers a cost-effective and quality-assured option for those looking to enhance their wellness.

Finding the root cause of any health concern can take time. Many patients are accustomed to the conventional medical model, which often provides quick fixes or temporary solutions. However, the true process of healing is dynamic and varies for each individual. Depending on the specific issues a patient is facing, each healing journey can look quite different. It's essential to embrace and trust the journey for meaningful and lasting progress.
