Symphony Healthcare Inc. Updates

Changes at Symphony Healthcare:

Insurance: As of October 1, 2024, Symphony Healthcare will be out of network with

commercial insurance plans, but will remain in network with Traditional Medicare Part B (First

Coast – or the “red, white, and blue Medicare card”)

Multi-Dimensional /Functional Medicine Visits - for those of you who want continue to

receive a comprehensive, functional / multi-dimensional approach to your health issues, we will

provide primary care services but will be focusing on helping people with Thyroid, Hormone,

Auto-Immune and Gut Microbiome issues.

By not having to comply with insurance regulations, I can provide the benefit of more detailed

visits, functional root-cause analysis of labs & testing, personalized holistic treatment plans,

messaging between visits, telemed visits, along with discounts on in-office supplements,

injections, and self-pay rates for labs. Our Functional Medicine patient panel will be limited, to

provide this personalized care that truly is my passion. This is how I can help you truly get

healthy. If you choose to leave the practice, we will transfer medical records electronically to a

new primary care medical provider of your choice at no fee, with a signed consent form.

Only Medicare insured patients will have insurance claims filed and will have cost sharing for

the 20%.

New Hormone & Weight Management Concierge Package Programs – will provide additional

information on these new programs soon

• For new patients the first visit fee will be $250.
• Standard Follow up visits will be $100 per visit - Visits will be scheduled as needed for your particular health issues.

I am blessed to have you as my patient. And I am very grateful for those who have been with

me for most or all of the 12 ½ years we have been in business as Symphony Healthcare & I use

my 27 years of experience as an NP when creating your individualized treatment plans.

I understand these changes may create some confusion and anxiety. I think in time you will

agree this will enable me to provide the best service to you while staying true to my passion for

using Functional Medicine.
