Join us for the grand opening with Dr. Deepika Minnal, MD, PA, where you can learn about our personalized care options. We also provide details on the initial consultation fee and the importance of follow-up visits for your health journey.
New Patients Consultation
Initial Consultation $600
Follow Up Visits $300/30 minutes
The initial consultation with Dr. Minnal typically lasts one hour and is customized to meet your specific health requirements. During this time, we will discuss your detailed medical history, including any antecedents, triggers, or mediators of your current health challenges. We will also explore your family history to identify any predispositions to diseases. Additionally, we will review your diet, sleep, stress, relationships, and environmental factors that may affect your health. Finally, we will perform a complete lifestyle and nutritional assessment to further evaluate any imbalances.
Our primary goal is for every patient to feel empowered to take appropriate steps towards better health. To support this, we will provide:
- A comprehensive food plan.
- Recipes.
- A shopping list.
- Several informative handouts to guide you on your journey towards whole health.
The initial consultation fee covers Dr. Minnal's considerable time spent reviewing your comprehensive health history, intake questionnaires, and any previous medical records or lab results provided by your medical provider to create context for your consultation. Please note that any follow-up visits or laboratory and diagnostic tests required are billed separately and are not included in the consultation fees.
Follow Up Visits $300/30 minutes
Follow Up Visits $300/30 minutes
At an interval to support your progress, we offer follow up visits for $325/30 minutes. You will meet with Dr. Minnal during these appointments to review any lab results and assess your physical response to dietary, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Together, we will continue to develop your healing plan, ensuring you receive the personalized care necessary for your journey towards achieving whole health. Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every 6-8 weeks, with more frequent visits early on in the process and less frequent as you heal. After your initial consultation fee, we provide: A comprehensive visit summary on the Patient Portal, detailing specific recommendations for food/diet, exercise/movement, stress management, lifestyle changes, and supplements/medications, as well as testing/imaging/diagnostics. We design this personalized course of action to address your unique needs.

As a long-term patient-partner of Dr. Minnal, you are part of an exclusive private practice that offers personalized care from a doctor who is emotionally invested in your health goals. Unlike other medical practices, we don't have crowded waiting rooms or double-booked appointments. We tailor every plan of care to meet your specific needs, and we base our supplement recommendations on your individual requirements rather than your disease process.
Dr. Minnal is committed to helping you achieve your wellness goals and resolving your complex health issues during your appointments, including your follow up visits, and outside of them. We won't bill you for the time we spend on your success outside of appointments, and we encourage you to play an active role in your care.
Our initial consultation fee is designed to provide you with the comprehensive attention you deserve. However, providing this level of personalized attention requires us to remain a small practice compared to others that serve thousands of patients each year. You are a valued member of our practice, and your well-being is of utmost importance to us.
Insurance & Laboratory Services
Insurance
We decided in the beginning to focus on patient relationships rather than insurance requirements. Therefore, our office is “Out of Network” for all insurance carriers.
We will provide each patient with a receipt called a “superbill” by the insurance industry. You can submit this superbill to your particular insurance carrier; in most cases, there is some benefit available for out-of-network care. (Important exceptions are Medicare and Medicaid, for which we are NOT a contracted provider, and you are NOT eligible for reimbursement.)
The patient is responsible for knowing the details of their insurance plan and submitting the superbill. It’s essential to note that the initial consultation fee and payment for follow up visits are expected at the time of your appointment, as we prioritize personalized care for each patient.
Laboratory Services
We understand that your health is important to you, and we are here to help in any way we can. As part of your healing plan, Dr. Minnal may suggest further laboratory studies during your follow up visits to identify the causes of your illness, evaluate your response to therapy, or discover any genetic predispositions.
We always strive to ensure that billing for these studies is handled by the specific lab and submitted to your insurance carrier whenever possible. It is recommended to check with your insurer before your visit to know what your specific plan covers and whether there are any initial consultation fees.
Recognizing that each individual's health needs are unique, Dr. Minnal will follow up with you to interpret your results and collaborate on a personalized care plan that empowers you to take charge of your health. You are our partner and friend in your journey towards better health, and we are always here to support you every step of the way.
