If medication is part of your treatment regimen then specific genetic testing looking at various genetic markers and medication metabolism might be recommended. Dr Shosid uses Genesight and Tempus for this type of genetic testing and samples can be obtained at the time of the initial consultation or collection kits mailed to you directly. This type of genetic testing may be covered by your insurance.
Pricing for lab tests is determined by the individual labs. The labs will contact you to discuss pricing. They will provide cash pricing and will discuss insurance coverage. Dr Shosid does not have any financial ties to the labs and uses those she believes provide the highest standards available.
Functional Psychiatry is ultimately a model of hope in which we work towards remission and recovery. It requires both a financial commitment to cover the cost of a thorough evaluation and the necessary testing and a willingness to follow recommendations. I firmly believe it is worth the time and effort to protect your mental health, brain health and well being.
