Frequently Asked Questions: Functional Lab Testing
1. What if my child is a "picky eater" or has sensory issues with testing?
I specialize in working with neurodivergent children. Most of the functional tests I order are non-invasive. For example, the Organic Acid Test (OAT) requires only a first-morning urine sample, which can often be collected at home with minimal stress.
2. Can I use my insurance for these labs?
Most functional labs (such as Mosaic/Great Plains or Genova) do not contract directly with insurance companies to maintain high-precision testing. However, many families successfully use their HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) to cover the costs of both the labs and my consulting fees. I can provide an itemized receipt (superbill) upon request, which you may submit to your provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
**Resilience Wellness Collective is an IHP-led practice. Many families use their HSA or FSA accounts to pay for these installments. Check with your provider for reimbursement eligibility. We accept HSA/FSA cards as a convenience. However, eligibility varies by plan. Please consult your provider or a tax professional to ensure our services qualify under your specific coverage.
3. How long does it take to get results?
Once you send the sample to the lab, results typically take 2 to 3 weeks. As soon as I receive the report, I spend time "decoding" the data before we meet for our Deep-Dive Results Session.
4. Why can’t my regular pediatrician order these tests?
Standard pediatricians are trained to look for "disease states" (like acute anemia). Functional labs look for optimal ranges and metabolic markers (like neurotransmitter metabolites) that are not part of a standard annual physical. My role is to bridge that gap by looking at the "sub-clinical" markers that significantly impact behavior and development.
5. We’ve already done some bloodwork. Do we have to start over?
Not necessarily! During your Developmental Nutrition Audit, I will review any labs from the last 12 months. If the data is recent and relevant, we will use it! We only order what is strictly necessary to find your child's specific biochemical bottleneck.
