Thank you for subscribing Video Gramma. Please look under the hood to see the FAQ in our website:

What does my package fee cover (and why is it so expensive)?

•The costs of the care we deliver are high due to several factors:

•The patient population we serve is almost uniformly complex, with severe, complex illness. We have few “low resource use” patients.

•Optimal care of our patients, as we have discovered, requires a large and ever-increasing team of skilled nurses (we do not employ medical assistants) to provide:

•regular, pro-active follow-up of symptoms, treatments, and responses

•ready access to answers of both simple and complex questions and treatment of evolving symptoms via our clinic portal

•Evaluating and treating a novel and complex illness requires extended visits for evaluation and decision making, often exceeding the already generous times we schedule.

•Documenting and formulating individualized treatment plans, ordering tests, and writing for numerous prescriptions and supplements also demand additional significant time investments.

•Continually evolving both our insights into the syndrome and identifying effective therapeutic approaches requires significant time investments in not only reading and research but in daily collaboration via clinical discussions among a growing network of providers.

•Because we do not (cannot) accept insurance, our prices reflect the true cost of delivering high quality, independent, expert care.

•Unlike many clinics, we are unable to off-set payroll and fixed costs with established profit drivers such as expensive testing, imaging, or procedures.

•Lastly, we strive to offer our staff the salaries and employment benefits they deserve.
