Topic: Insurance Question - Submitting LLND Visit

So i called to make an appointment with a highly recommended LLND in NH. The cost of the initial visit is $600! I know we cant put a price on health, but it's simply unaffordable at this point, not to mention the labs, supps, follow up visits, etc that are sure to come afterwards.

They lady on the phone said that they do not work with any insurance providors. I assume that to mean they do not submit to insurance.

Can i submit the invoice for the visit to my insurance myself? If so, what is the likelihood that it gets paid? I'm going to call my insurance, but want to know what questions i should be asking to make sure i get the right answers.

Basically, i want to know if i can submit visits, supps, labs, etc from this LLND, or any for that matter, to my insurance and if they will get paid.

Thanks for any insight on this!

I submitted mine (from an LLMD) and was reimbursed 80%...depends upon your ins plan.

This dr who is charging $600 is likely going to spend 2 hrs with you.
