Frequently Asked Questions

Scheduling & Visits

What Are The Restrictions On Virtual Visits?

Nutrition rules differ from state to state. During our free consultation, we will determine if your initial visit must be in person or if it can be conducted virtually. After the first visit, all follow up visits can be conducted by phone or virtually using our secure video channel if you choose.

Email Etiquette

Clients have the ability to e-mail contact with their Brooklyn Wellness team. However, if an email question or request is deemed by one of our staff to be too complicated or involved for a response via email they may, at their discretion, require that the member schedule a phone consultation or in person visit instead of responding via email.

Scheduling & Cancellations

There is a 24-hour cancellation policy for all appointments with a Brooklyn Wellness nutritionist or health coach. Canceling within 24-hours will result in a $50 charge to the credit card on file (except in the event of an emergency).

Billing & Insurance

We Are Not A Conventional Primary Care Physician

It is important to note the following however:

1. We do not fulfill an insurance company’s requirement for an in network primary care physician as we are not in-network with any insurance plan.

2. We are not generally available for same-day emergency appointments.

3. We do not have a 24-hour answering service and do not take calls on weekends. If you need to be seen urgently or have a medical emergency you would need to visit an ER or urgent care center.

We Do Not Bill Insurance Companies

The cost of any services provided by Brooklyn Wellness will be billed to you directly.

Brooklyn Wellness will not submit a medical claim to insurance on your behalf. We cannot assist you with claim resolution for our services.

We will provide you with a detailed billing summary that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
