FAQ

You do not need health insurance for the services you receive from iNNOVAFUSION. Because iNNOVAFUSION is not an insurance model, we encourage our members to purchase catastrophic or high deductible insurance to protect against large, unanticipated costs associated with serious illnesses or accidents.

Many insurance plans have high deductibles and only pay for preventive services after you meet your deductible. With a Strada membership, all primary care services are covered. You do not need to meet a deductible to have visits with your primary care provider for health coaching, weight management, chronic conditions, or acute issues such as respiratory infections. We focus on keeping you well and identifying issues well in advance and help to reduce the costs of unexpected illness.

Please note that your iNNOVAFUSION membership fee does not cover outside specialty care. We encourage you to check with your insurance carrier to ensure your specialist will be covered by your policy.

With the rising costs of healthcare, many are opting for higher deductible plans to keep their monthly out-of-pocket insurance costs low. Unfortunately, high deductibles mean that people are spending thousands of dollars (on top of insurance premiums) before the health insurance begins paying. At Strada, we think that things like annual physicals, standard labs, and simple procedures should be purchased outside of your health insurance so that you never have to worry about the cost of coverage. Our fees are simple, our clinics are accessible, and we want our patients to access care. If you can avoid one unnecessary trip to the emergency room or urgent care, you could potentially save thousands of dollars.

The procedure involves inserting a needle into a vein and injecting the prescribed solution at various drip rates depending on the components of the IV bag.

The benefits of IV therapy include a) Injectables are not affected by stomach or intestinal absorption problems. b) Total amount of infusion is available to the tissues. c) Nutrients are forced into cells by means of a high concentration gradient. d) Higher doses of nutrients can be given than possible by mouth without intestinal irritation.

Risks of intravenous therapy include but are not limited to a) Occasionally: Discomfort, bruising and pain at the site of injection. b) Rarely: Inflammation of the vein used for injection, phlebitis, metabolic disturbances, and injury. c) Extremely Rare: Severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, infection, cardiac arrest, and death.

Depending on the treatment option, oral medications or appetite suppressants such as Phenetamine may be prescribed to be used with lifestyle modification to assist with weight loss goals. These medications can be collected at any pharmacy of your choice. We do not dispense oral medications in our medical center. IM treatment plans are being administered in the clinic only to ensure the effective use of the treatment modality.

After the first consultation and treatment plan has been initiated, you are encouraged to schedule a monthly visit (either in person or via telemedicine visit) to determine your tolerance to your personalized weight loss plan, the effectiveness of the treatment plan, and make further lifestyle modifications or treatment recommendations as needed.

During every follow-up visit, we give you tips and information to help you stay motivated and take control of your weight loss journey. We discuss any questions and concerns you may have. You may learn about new meal choices, portion control, and goal setting. If you ever have questions or need support, remember we are only a phone call away.
