FAQs
Minnesota clinic for health and wellness – frequently asked questions about our integrative and anti-aging medical services.
Integrative medicine is a patient-centered, healing-oriented approach that considers the whole person – body, mind, and spirit – including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of all appropriate evidence-based therapies, both conventional and complementary. The goal is to address the root causes of illness and promote optimal wellness by combining modern medical treatments with scientifically-supported complementary modalities such as nutrition, acupuncture, mindfulness, and massage therapy.
What is the difference between functional medicine and integrative medicine?
Both functional and integrative medicine are holistic, patient-centered models that focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. The primary distinction lies in their framework and emphasis.
Integrative medicine is a broad umbrella that emphasizes blending conventional Western treatments with complementary, evidence-based therapies. It focuses on the whole person and the therapeutic partnership.
Functional medicine operates as a specific systems-biology based framework within integrative medicine. It often uses in-depth laboratory testing to understand the body’s underlying biochemical imbalances and focuses heavily on creating individualized dietary, lifestyle, and supplement protocols to restore physiological function.

Does insurance cover integrative medicine?
Insurance coverage for integrative medicine varies significantly by provider, plan, and state. While many insurers now cover certain evidence-based complementary therapies like acupuncture or chiropractic care for specific conditions, comprehensive integrative medicine consultations and some therapies may be out-of-network. Coverage often depends on:
- medical necessity,
- provider licensure, and;
- a service being coded as a covered benefit.
To determine your coverage, it is recommended to contact your insurance provider directly with specific CPT codes for the services you are considering and verify in-network status with the integrative medicine practitioner.
