Our practice is a direct pay practice. We can provide a “superbill” that can be submitted to your insurance company for possible reimbursement, but we cannot guarantee this.  Our Practitioners have opted out of participating with Medicare so you cannot submit “superbills” to Medicare for reimbursement. Normal standard labs tests, if ordered by our practice would be processed through your insurance plan and may be partially or fully reimbursed, however certain specialty testing must be pre-paid out of pocket, but you could submit it for possible reimbursement from your insurance if you desire.

We have recently added several new types of New Patient visits that start at $721 for the initial visit. Please reach out to us and let us know what your needs are, and we can find the appointment that best fits your situation. You can also simply register as a patient by clicking on the 'BECOME A PATIENT' button in our main menu and follow the directions there. Once you are in the patient portal, you will see the cost of our services and specializations. If cost is an issue that prevents you from becoming a patient in our practice, you can now apply for a 15-month interest- free credit card to help pay for the services at our practice.  Please look for the Advance Care link on our website. We also now partner with AmeriCu Credit Union with special financing options. Please reach out to us if you would like more information.

No, we have numerous services that are available to non-patients.

Non-patients can now come to our practice for general wellness infusions without becoming a patient. There is a medical form to complete that needs to be reviewed by a practitioner for a one-time $25 fee.  If you need more complex infusions for treatment of a disease process, you will only need an infusion consult, which ranges from $620 - $712.​

Non-patients can also take advantage of our Neurofeedback brain mapping and re-training program, Heart Math, and health coaching services.

Integrative Medicine of CNY also has high quality supplements available for purchase in our office or to be ordered and shipped to you directly.

We have recently expanded the practice to serve patients 9 years of age and up. Our Nurse Practitioner will be seeing our younger population.

We have recently added Prevention and Wellness visits, and Well Women visits including gyn care.  Our nurse practitioner can provide you with your annual Well Women care and address hormonal health concerns if needed. For those who have been diagnosed with chronic medical issues such as high cholesterol or diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes,  you can see our nurse practitioner to help improve your cholesterol levels or diabetes management, or you can see one of our health coaches to learn ways to eat better to help control your cholesterol or diabetes. Our team of health coaches can also help with weight loss and customizing wellness plans, including meal planning, to best meet your needs.

Yes, we partner with a compounding pharmacy to offer BHRT and can provide consultations, testing and treatment for hormonal health. We can also evaluate hormonal health and discuss if BHRT is right for you or if you prefer treatment with herbal supplements to address hormonal problems.

Yes, we do offer Acute Tick Bite appointments for people who have been bitten by a tick within the previous two weeks, which involves evaluation, treatment and comprehensive testing and discussion about Lyme Disease and co-infections.  Please remember to keep the tick and send it to the Upstate Tick Testing lab for free tick testing.

Yes, you would be considered a new patient for this practice at IM of CNY. We require patients to be seen at least once a year to remain active. If you were previously seen at IM of CNY you would be considered a "re-establishing" patient with a visit duration in-between a new consult and follow-up.

We encourage our patients to have a Primary Care Physician, especially for acute conditions or treatments that our practice cannot see or treat.  We will serve as your specialist in natural and integrative remedies to work in partnership with you and with your other physicians to address your health and well-being from a holistic approach.

Mistletoe (viscum album extract) has been used as medicine for centuries. In latter days it has been available as concentrated extracts and administered mostly by shallow skin injection and even by intravenous method, and this is a therapy that is available at IM of CNY when indicated.

Most of the medical uses come under the headings of improving immune performance and the effectiveness of chemotherapy and/or radiation as well as reducing side effects of chemotherapy for cancer and improving quality of life. Most research on the application of mistletoe has been performed in Europe and hence its use is much more common there than in the United States. It is considered “the most well studied integrative cancer therapy in the world with 75-85% of all European cancer patients utilizing this medicine.” 

Helleborus niger is a winter-blooming perennial evergreen plant found in European alpine forests. Its beautiful flowers have white petals and yellow-orange centers. It is a medicinal plant, and its extracts are made into homeopathic remedies by the company Helixor according to an anthroposophic therapeutic approach in Germany since 1994. 

Helleborus niger is used in the treatment of cancer and other chronic inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune disease and chronic Lyme disease around the world. Most commonly it is used as a complement to mistletoe therapy but can also be used by itself in circumstances where mistletoe is not tolerated (ie, in highly inflammatory conditions). Interest is growing in the application of Helleborus niger for the treatment in disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), neurological trauma, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, post radiation and chemotherapy fatigue, endometriosis, edema, acute arthrosis (inflamed joints) and rheumatoid arthritis as well as Kaposi’s sarcoma and respiratory infections in AIDS patients. Several case studies on anxiety towards the end of life has encouraged use of this medicine in palliative care settings as well. There is also interest in the application of Helleborus for Lyme disease and CNS symptoms related to autistic spectrum disorders.
