Do I need to physically visit a lab even though it is fully online-based?
plus icon

Yes, while Index Health operates primarily through telemedicine, certain advanced lab tests require physical sample collection. We can provide the convenience of home draw labs and home tests, ensuring a seamless experience. Our partnerships with trusted labs allow you to schedule at-home sample collections, making it easier for you to undergo the necessary advanced tests without visiting a medical facility. This approach combines the benefits of telemedicine with the accuracy of specialized lab analyses, ensuring you receive comprehensive care from the comfort of your own space.

Does Index Health accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid?
plus icon

Yes, we accept Out-Of-Network insurance for our services. During your free call with an Index Health Care Manager, you can check what your Out-Of-Network deductible is.

Labs are typically covered by your insurance and are not included in the Index Health membership.

What is Out-Of-Network?
plus icon

Think of Out-Of-Network as the opposite of In-Network, for your insurance company. An Out-Of-Network provider is a provider that is not directly contracted with your insurance company.

As an Out-Of-Network provider, we are able to submit a claim with your insurance company so that you can be reimbursed a certain amount of money for the fees paid to Index Health.

The amount reimbursable depends on your insurance plan's deductible, whether your plan will reimburse you for Out-Of-Network services, and other factors. Index Health cannot guarantee reimbursement from your insurance company.

Not sure about the details of your plan? No problem! We can help for free. You can schedule a free call with an Index Health advisor so that you can find out more information about your insurance plan's coverage, and how much you’ll potentially be reimbursed.

Can I use my HSA/FSA to pay for Index Health?
plus icon

Yes. Index Health is considered a medically eligible expense therefore, it can be paid for via an HSA/FSA. Please note, claims may not be submitted to insurance when HSA/FSA is being used.

Do I have unlimited messaging with providers between appointments?
plus icon

Yes, you do have unlimited messaging! Think of unlimited messaging as an easy and quick way to chat with your doctor and nutritionist. We typically get back to our patients within 48 hours for most inquiries.

Can I choose my doctor/nutritionist?
plus icon

Yes, based on availability you are free to choose your doctor. Just make sure to ask your care manager when signing up and we'll make it possible.
