Why we are a fee-for-service practice:

Care You Can Count On

As a fee-for-service telemedicine company specializing in kidney stone prevention, we have made the deliberate decision to operate on a fee-for-service basis for the following reasons:

1. Flexibility and Accessibility: By operating on a fee-for-service basis, we eliminate the complexities and delays often associated with insurance billing and reimbursement. This allows us to provide efficient and streamlined services, ensuring greater accessibility and flexibility for our patients.

2. Cost Transparency: We are out of network with insurance carriers, therefore we are unable to invoice your insurance provider directly. Dealing strictly with fee-for-service payments enables us to provide clear and transparent pricing for our services. Patients know exactly what they are paying for, without the confusion of insurance deductibles, copays, or unexpected bills. This transparency helps patients make informed decisions about their healthcare and budget accordingly.

3. Focus on Quality Care: By eliminating the administrative burdens of insurance billing, we can dedicate more time and resources to delivering high-quality care. Our focus remains on providing personalized and comprehensive kidney stone prevention services, without the constraints and limitations imposed by insurance requirements.

4. Enhanced Privacy and Confidentiality: Operating on a fee-for-service basis helps maintain the privacy and confidentiality of our patients' personal and medical information. We do not have to share sensitive details with insurance companies or adhere to their data-sharing protocols, ensuring maximum privacy protection.

5. Greater Autonomy: As a fee-for-service telemedicine company, we have the autonomy to shape our services based on patient needs and best practices in kidney stone prevention. This allows us to stay at the forefront of advancements in the field and continuously improve our offerings without being limited by insurance policies or guidelines.

Overall, our fee-for-service  approach allows us to prioritize patient care, maintain cost transparency, and offer accessible and flexible services tailored to the unique needs of individuals seeking kidney stone prevention.

Services Included:

Our telemedicine kidney stone workup consists of three visits. If you do not have a recent 24 hour kidney stone urine test, we will order one prior to your first appointment being scheduled.

Kidney Stone Prevention Step 1

During the first visit, you will have a 30-minute consultation with a healthcare professional where you can discuss your symptoms, medical history, and concerns related to kidney stones. If necessary, laboratory testing may be ordered during this visit to further evaluate your condition.

Kidney Stone Prevention Step 2

In the second visit, which lasts for 15 minutes, the results of your laboratory tests will be reviewed with you. Based on these results and your individual case, the healthcare professional will provide advice on applicable treatment options for your kidney stones.

Kidney Stone Prevention Step 3

The third visit, also lasting 15 minutes, involves reassessing your kidney stone risk factors after receiving treatment. This allows the healthcare professional to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments to your ongoing management plan.
