I have seen Dr. Jen Patterson for a third Osteopathic treatment and am very pleased with the results. Dr. Patterson has helped to put a dent in a 40 year-old chronic shoulder, scapula, clavicle issue that has developed over the years from being in a wheelchair. This treatment is similar to deep tissue massage/myofacial release but is more targeted. Results in my case have been immediate and lasting. I hope to decrease treatments eventually to a few a year...I am already lasting months between treatments!

James Wolf

I had the most wonderful experience here. I was seen, heard and showed empathy. So much attention to detail, from the inpatient questionnaire, speaking to the office staff to my appointment with Dr. Lynda. I feel like I am in extra special hands with this office and have hope to become my best self. Thank you, truly, for everything.

Kelly B

I'm so glad to be a patient of Philadelphia Integrative Medicine! Dr. Tetlow is wonderful, as is everyone else I've interacted with there. Dr. Tetlow is very knowledgeable and caring and obviously very experienced. I really appreciate her attention to detail and that she considers every aspect of my health as part of the big picture. I'm grateful to have found PIM and highly recommend them.

Testing + Supplement Costs

Personalized testing is recommended by your PIM provider during your new patient visit and costs vary depending on your health goals. At that time we can also provide you with upfront payment options to make an informed decision. All testing is optional. To keep testing costs as low as possible for our patients, depending on the company, you pay the testing companies directly or you may pay PIM directly. Testing costs are not included in appointment costs.

On average a patient tend to spend $150 per month on supplements, this amount may fluctuate, for example you may need a more aggressive amount of supplements upfront and taper off as you heal.

Navigating Insurance Reimbursement

How it works:

Pay in full at the time of your appointment.
You will be emailed an itemized sales receipt - please keep this for your records. This is NOT what you use for insurance reimbursement.
A coded receipt, called an Invoice Fulfillment (aka Superbill) will be uploaded to your Power2Patient portal in your "documents" section" that you can send to your insurer. This will include the necessary CPT, ICD10/Diagnosis codes and PIM's Tax ID number.
If your policy provides coverage, you receive a reimbursement check by mail!

Because each insurance policy is unique, we encourage you to call your insurer to inquire about reimbursement– please find the list of appointment codes below. You do not need to have an appointment scheduled to check your reimbursement rate.

Phone and video appointments are now eligible to be submitted for reimbursement.

Questions to ask your insurance company:

Does my plan provide any out-of-network coverage?
If so: How many visits are covered during my benefit period? When did my benefit period start? When does it end?
What is my deductible?
What is my reimbursement rate for a new patient appointment (see above link for CPT codes)?
What is my reimbursement rate for a follow up appointment (see above link for CPT codes)?
Are specific diagnosis codes needed in order for these services to be covered? If so, what are they?
Do I need a referral for these services? (please note it is your responsibility to receive any referrals prior to your first appointment)

Why We Do Not Accept Insurance

Many people who have contacted our office for services have asked us why we do not bill insurance directly when other medical and chiropractic providers do. We fully understand the financial challenge this presents to some patients, and we wish there were a way for us to bill your insurance company. Unfortunately, at this time, there is not.

Did you know, The average insurance-covered visit with a physician is ONLY 7 minutes!

Insurance companies are more focused on the conventional model of health that too often relies on drugs and surgery as opposed to preventative and wellness services. When clinics bill health insurance companies directly, the doctors must sign a contract that allows the insurance company to determine which services they will and will not provide and how much they can charge for those services.
A participating provider must agree to accept the fees the insurance company establishes, regardless of whether the fees are reasonable or applicable to that practice.
Most doctors and clinics cope with the requirements and costs of being participating providers by keeping their office visits very brief, so that they can see many patients within a given time frame. Unfortunately, we have found that we cannot be “within network” and provide time-intensive, well-researched and expert care.

Medicare and Medicaid Are Not Able to Reimburse You

If you are a Medicare or Medicaid patient and are being treated for a Medicare or Medicaid covered service, all providers are obligated to bill Medicare/Medicaid according to their time frame and billing specifications. PIM is not able to comply because we do not have a conventional billing department. To respect the law, Medicare/Medicaid appointments at PIM address only non-Medicare/Medicaid covered services. As a Medicare/Medicaid patient, you cannot apply for or receive reimbursement from Medicare/Medicaid for your appointments. We are sorry, but this is the best we can do at this time given Medicare/Medicaid guidelines. We are confident that if you try PIM, you will be happy with your care and health outcomes.

Cancellation Policy

Out of respect for our patients’ and practitioners’ time, please note that we require 72 hours notice for ALL appointment cancellations/reschedules. If you do not provide this notice, you will be charged:

A $300 cancellation fee for a New Patient Appointment*
A $100 cancellation fee for a Follow Up Appointment
A $200 cancellation fee for an Extended Follow Up Appointment

*Note: If you provide at least 72 hours notice, your deposit will be applied to your rescheduled appointment or refunded (upon request only). A $25 processing fee applies to all refunded deposits.
