Yes, you may bill your own insurance, as long as it is not Medicare or Medicaid. All private insurance companies may be billed with a superbill, which can be provided to you at the time of visit. Because of government laws, Medicare and Medicaid services cannot legally be billed from this type of practice.
The membership includes all physician interaction, either in the form of clinical visit, secure portal messaging or telemedicine. It does not include laboratory, imaging or other medical testing costs. It does not subsidize visits to any other physician or provider outside of the Empowered Health practice.
