Frequently Asked Questions

Rooted To Bloom Wellness does not function as a primary care provider. For continuity of care, you will still need an established primary care provider for your ongoing healthcare needs. Please note that we do not provide acute visits, after-hours support (including weekends and holidays), or medication management outside of therapies prescribed through this practice.

At Rooted To Bloom Wellness, we strive to provide the highest quality of care to our patients through personalized one-on-one sessions. To have the freedom to provide this level of care, we have chosen not to contract with insurance companies. We can provide a detailed invoice, known as a superbill, which you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage is determined by your individual insurance plan and is not guaranteed. Please note that submission and any reimbursement decisions are the sole responsibility of the patient. We accept all major credit cards, cash, and in most cases Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). Payment is due at the time of service.

We do not participate in the Medicare program and have formally opted out. Medicare will not be billed for services provided in this practice. If you are Medicare-eligible, you are welcome to receive care at Rooted To Bloom Wellness; however, you will be responsible for payment at the time of service. Medicare will not reimburse you for services provided by this practice, and neither you nor Rooted To Bloom Wellness may submit claims to Medicare for reimbursement. Prior to your first visit, you will be required to review and sign a Medicare private contract through the patient portal. This agreement confirms your understanding that services provided by Rooted To Bloom Wellness are not covered by Medicare.

We are currently only licensed to see patients in Minnesota.

We are currently seeing patients virtually only. In the future, we hope to offer both virtual and in-person visits, giving you the flexibility to choose the option that best fits your needs and schedule.

We do not offer phone consultations to determine fit. The website is designed to give you a clear understanding of how care works, what we focus on, and what to expect before scheduling, allowing you to feel confident in your decision. If you have specific questions, you’re welcome to reach out through the contact form at the bottom of the page. Please note that medical guidance is not provided outside of scheduled visits. If it feels like a good fit as you explore, you’re welcome to schedule your initial appointment whenever you’re ready!

We take a holistic approach to addressing weight loss resistance, integrating nutritional guidance, stress support, natural supplementation, and personalized lifestyle strategies designed to support the body in restoring balance and improving metabolic function. From there, we create a customized plan that supports sustainable weight loss and overall health, without the use of GLP-1 medications.

Can I use insurance for lab testing? Yes. If insurance will be used, a lab order will be sent through the patient portal. This order can be taken to a local clinic or phlebotomy center for a blood draw, and the results will be sent directly to the provider. Please check insurance coverage prior to the first visit, as comprehensive lab panels are often recommended. Depending on the insurance plan, insurance-billed labs can sometimes result in higher out-of-pocket costs. Do you offer a cash-pay lab option? Yes. Labs can also be ordered through Access Medical Labs, which is a direct-access option that does not go through insurance. A kit will be provided and can be taken to a local clinic or phlebotomy center for a blood draw, with results sent directly to the provider. This option is often more cost-effective for comprehensive testing, with most full panels averaging around $500 or less depending on the markers included. Are specialty labs included? Sometimes, additional specialty testing that is not covered by insurance may be recommended. Any additional testing and associated costs will always be reviewed prior to ordering.

Rooted To Bloom Wellness requires a 48-hour notice if you are unable to keep your new patient consult and 24-hour notice if you are unable to keep your follow-up visit. If you miss an appointment or fail to give sufficient notice, you will be charged $75.00 for a missed consult and $50.00 for a missed follow-up visit. This payment is expected before any further treatment is provided.

At this time, care is limited to individuals 18 years and older.

We believe you are an active and essential part of your health journey. We offer the flexibility to choose between an in-person visit or a telehealth appointment for reviewing your lab results, ensuring you are involved in the interpretation and development of your personalized care plan. This approach allows us to tailor our guidance to your unique lifestyle and needs. Because of this, simply emailing lab results does not allow us to provide the individualized care we strive for or the level of context needed to fully support your results.
