Unfortunately, this means seeing integrative/functional medicine practitioners, who typically do not/cannot accept medical insurance and require cash payments.

But you either pay up front or you pay at the end for your health. I'd rather pay up front.
Unfortunately, that sentence describes the quacks that have been able to dupe some of the gullible public. Do yourself a favor and see a real doctor.

PS: It's not that they wouldn't accept insurance, they'd love to. It's simply that what they do is not recognized as legitimate medical practice so the third-party payers just won't acknowledge and pay them
