Transform Your Health Today WITH TELEMEDICINE

Dr. Morgan Schuster offers Telehealth appointments via Zoom, a secure video platform, for your convenience and safety. This approach is ideal for discussing health concerns, medication refills, and even establishing care as a new patient.

What to Expect:

• Scheduling: Once you book your appointment, you'll receive a confirmation email with Dr. Schuster's Zoom meeting link and instructions if you're new to the platform.
• Appointment Length: New patient visits last 60-90 minutes, while follow-ups range from 15-60 minutes (typically 30-45 minutes for the first one).
• The Visit: Similar to an in-office visit, Dr. Schuster will discuss your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include testing, lifestyle recommendations, herbal medicine, or supplements.
• Testing: Conveniently, many functional medicine tests, like hormone panels or gut health checks, can be done at home with kits delivered to you. Blood work may also be ordered by Dr. Schuster through Quest or LabCorp.
• Treatment: Dr. Schuster uses an online dispensary (Fullscript) for easy supplement ordering, while prescriptions are sent to your preferred pharmacy.

Insurance & Payment:

Unfortunately, California considers naturopathic doctors out-of-network providers.  Here are some resources to navigate insurance coverage:

• Call your insurance company: Ask about out-of-network coverage and reimbursement for naturopathic visits and superbills (your visit summary).
• Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): Consider an HSA for tax-advantaged savings towards medical expenses, including naturopathic care, labs, and supplements.
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs): Similar to HSAs, but unused funds may not roll over to the next year.
• Self-Pay: Peninsula Integrative offers information on self-pay rates.
