Thank you for your comment. We are always working to improve processes, and your feedback helps us do just that. BodyLogicMD is not insurance based, so it operates a little different from a conventional doctor’s office. While you may be able to utilize your insurance for some of the requested lab tests, in most cases, out of pocket fees, do still apply. BodyLogicMD charges a processing fee any time testing is ordered – which is roughly 3-4 times a year. This processing and administration fee covers all of the back office work that is done related to your appointments and treatment. If you visit a BodyLogicMD practice, you may notice that the in-office staff is much smaller than a traditional medical practice, and that’s because the practitioner has a support team that operates remotely and handles all of the administrative work. Doing this allows the practitioner to spend more time with you and focus entirely on your care, and while some may view this as an extra fee, in reality, it helps keep the consultation fees low compared to other concierge practices.
Many supplements sold at popular retailers do not contain the listed ingredients or contain cheap fillers that could pose a threat. In fact, in early 2015, GNC, Target, Walmart, and Walgreens were accused of selling fraudulent and potentially dangerous supplements, and this was proven when the New York State Attorney General’s office investigated and tested many top-selling supplements. At BodyLogicMD, we provide professional-grade supplements that undergo extensive regulation checks and have been proven safe and effective. That is why the physicians in the BodyLogicMD network exclusively work with supplement manufacturers who follow the highest standards for safety, purity, and quality in the industry, including the Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) established by the FDA. Each brand undergoes a rigorous qualification process that includes review and assessment by top-level medical specialists and scientists, legal professionals, and quality-control experts before it is added to the selection offered to patients.
Thank you again for providing feedback.
