A written cost estimate before you commit — no surprise bills

Medical care shouldn't require guessing what you'll owe.

A lot of the care delivered in wellness and aesthetic practices is genuinely medical, and a lot of it is genuinely insurance-eligible. But it's often billed as cash-only by default, simply because that's how these practices have historically operated. That leaves patients paying out of pocket for care that may well be covered.

We do it differently. When your care is medical, Dr. Farook treats it as medical — which means we pursue the insurance coverage you're entitled to, and tell you exactly what to expect before you commit.

In-network coverage.

We're actively adding carriers. If your plan isn't listed yet, submit your information below — we'll verify your specific benefits and let you know your options, including cash-pay and financing.

What insurance covers — and what it doesn't.

Whether insurance applies comes down to the care itself, not the department it's delivered in. As a general guide:

Typically covered by insurance:

✓ Medical visits with Dr. Farook — evaluation, consultation, and ongoing management of medical conditions
✓ Lab work and diagnostic testing when clinically indicated
✓ Prescription medications through your pharmacy benefit
Coverage varies by plan:

Certain medications and treatments require prior authorization, and approval depends on your plan and clinical documentation. When that's the case, we submit the paperwork and follow up on it for you.
Not covered by insurance (cash-pay):

✗ Cosmetic and aesthetic services — wrinkle-reducing injectables, fillers, lasers, facials, microneedling, and similar treatments
✗ Program enrollment and membership fees — these cover services insurance doesn't pay for
Coverage always depends on your specific plan. That's why we verify before your visit — so this general picture becomes a real number for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Submit your info anyway. We'll verify your specific benefits and let you know your options. Even if we're not in-network with your carrier, you may have out-of-network benefits, and we'll always show you the cash-pay and financing paths so you can make an informed choice.
For in-network patients, your medical visits with Dr. Farook are typically billed to insurance. Aesthetic services are always cash-pay. If you're doing both medical and aesthetic care, we keep the billing clear and separate so you always know which is which.
Insurance pays for specific, billable medical events — your visit, your labs, your medication. It doesn't pay for the support layer around them, and that's what the enrollment fee covers.
Concretely, that's the work that makes your care actually function between appointments: ongoing progress and body-composition tracking, direct messaging access to the team between visits, and the behind-the-scenes effort of submitting and following up on your prior authorizations — labor insurers don't reimburse, but that often makes the difference in whether your medication gets approved.
What it's not: your medical visits, labs, or medication. Those are billed to your insurance and pharmacy separately, exactly as they'd be anywhere else. The enrollment fee only ever covers what insurance leaves out — never something you could have billed to your plan.
A denial isn't the end of the road — it's often just the first round. Many prior authorizations get denied initially and then approved on appeal, especially when the clinical documentation is strong, so we don't treat a first "no" as final.
If your authorization is denied, here's what we do: we review the reason with you, and where there's a path forward, Dr. Farook submits an appeal with the supporting documentation your plan requires — clinical notes, history of other treatments tried, and a letter of medical necessity. We handle that paperwork and follow up on it for you.
If the appeal doesn't succeed, or if your plan simply doesn't cover the treatment, you'll know your cash-pay cost before anything moves forward — including financing through Cherry if that's helpful. You'll never be billed for a treatment you didn't agree to, and you're never stuck guessing what comes next.
Yes. Medical visits, program fees, and many treatments are HSA/FSA eligible. We provide itemized receipts you can submit for reimbursement. Check with your HSA/FSA administrator for your plan's specific eligibility rules.
We'll tell you exactly where you stand. If you haven't met your deductible, your medical visits may apply toward it rather than being fully covered — which still has value, since those costs count toward your annual deductible. We verify your deductible status as part of benefits verification so there are no surprises.
Yes. We offer Cherry financing for program fees and cash-pay services, with monthly payment options. This makes both programs accessible without requiring full payment upfront.
Your medical care is documented in your medical record and billed to insurance like any physician visit. Aesthetic services are kept separate. We follow standard medical privacy practices (HIPAA) for all medical care.
Usually 1–2 business days from when you submit your information. We'll reach out by your preferred contact method with your written benefits summary.
