Requirements:
- Appropriate diagnostic indication for LDN
- Review of a Chemistry Panel from the past year, showing adequate liver and kidney function. (Please plan to bring in a copy of this, and if you have not had one in the past year, please ask your primary care provider to order this prior to our consultation.)
- Review of the Informed Consent document for LDN (click here). You will have an opportunity to discuss this informed consent and ask questions during your consultation with Dr. Toups.
Appointment Costs:
- Initial 30" consultation $400
- Brief 25” follow-ups $350
- Extended visits will be billed based on the amount of time involved, at the rate of $50 for each additional 5 minute increment after the initial times listed above.
* Note: Follow-up is required 4 to 6 weeks after beginning LDN, and every six months thereafter for refills.
Insurance:
Dr. Toups is an out-of-network provider, and will provide an Insurance Superbill invoice at each visit that can be submitted for insurance reimbursement. Patients with PPO insurance are often reimbursed 50% or more of the charges after their deductible has been met, though we are unable to guarantee this due to the variability and unpredictability of health insurance plans.
Dr. Toups is not contracted with Medicare, so unfortunately you will not be able to bill Medicare for her services.
LDN Costs:
The current cost of LDN from a reputable pharmacy is approximately $46 for a 90 day supply. Shipping is free.
