Your Visit

For new patients, there are specific forms that need to be completed in order to provide a health history form before an initial visit can be scheduled.

The easiest and most direct way to get these forms is to email the admin directly to request them, at dwong@mypathmedical.com.

Links to download these forms are also provided at the bottom of this page.

As a new patient of My Path Medical, you should expect a very different approach to your health. You will meet Dr. Lantsman who will perform a detailed review of your medical history and conduct a thorough physical examination.

We will order any appropriate tests in order to diagnose critical issues you may be having and determine the best course of treatment. We will also review your current diet and exercise regimen and possibly recommended modifications.

Generally, your first visit will last two hours, however this depends on the complexity of issues being presented.

My Path Medical does not accept medical insurance.

Visit cost is determined by the length of the appointment based on the hourly rate of $540 per hour.

Initial visits on average take 2 hours, or $1,080, but can run shorter or longer depending on the complexity of the individual case. The hourly fee covers your appointment only, and do not include any additional costs due to lab draws, laboratory tests, supplements, etc.

Telemedicine visits or extended written correspondence are also subject to the $540 hourly fee. 

It is important to note that appointments are billed only for the amount of time used for the visit itself, and so the cost will never be rounded up to the nearest hour.

Payment is expected at the end of each visit. We accept cash, check and major credit cards.

In order for My Path Medical to provide our patients with optimal and independent service, we do not accept any health insurance plans or Medicare/Medicaid.

However, we will provide itemized receipts with proper codes, documenting each visit.

Many of our patients who have health insurance plans with out-of-network benefits and who have reached their deductible are partially reimbursed by their health plans. The reimbursement rate depends on individual health plan policies.

In addition, our services fall under most flexible medical spending programs. Phone, Zoom, written correspondence are not reimbursed by health plans/nor are subject to most flexible medical spending programs.

Please consult your health insurance company for further details on your out-of-network benefits as we cannot provide additional or specific information about your plan.

Medicare – Dr. Lantsman has opted out from Medicare. Medicare will not reimburse for your visits. In compliance with federal legal guidelines, Medicare patients must sign a waiver stating they will not submit any claims for their services to Medicare.

Comfortable clothing for an easy examination. Supplements or medication you are currently taking. Please bring the actual bottles. Hard copies of your medical records and any historical test results, if you have not already provided them electronically to our admin.

Please note our cancellation policy. 

We kindly request 4 business days notice for any cancellation or reschedule request.

A fee will be charged for your appointment if you cancel after the specified timeframe.

For initial visits, patients will be charged $540 and for follow-up appointments, patients will be charged $270 for missed appointments.

Exceptions will be made for medical emergencies if you provide official documentation.

When you book a new patient appointment, we will take your credit card information. We will hold this information on file in case of a breach in our cancellation policy. We will NOT charge your card unless you do not adhere to our cancellation policy.

Our office fees do not cover the cost of any laboratory testing. Costs for mainstream labs such as Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp are based on your individual insurance coverage benefits. It is the responsibility of the patient to inquire with their insurance carrier to determine what their specific coverage entails.

It is important for patients to find out the specific structure of their insurance lab benefits ahead of time. Below is a guide for some questions to ask your insurance provider:

• Will lab testing be covered if I go to Quest Diagnostics and/or Labcorp
• (If yes) Will lab testing still be covered if the doctor who is ordering those tests is out-of-network with the insurace
• Will tests only be covered if they are screening/routine, or does it also cover diagnostic tests

Even with medical insurance, blood work can get very expensive due to deductibles, co-insurance and other factors around a subscriber’s plan, and by understanding the details, you can avoid unnecessary bills.

The office is not responsible for laboratory bills. If we recommend functional medicine tests (which are partially covered by some health plans) we will discuss the cost of each test with you prior to ordering.

We schedule follow up visits as needed to make sure you’re progressing with your treatment plan and are maintaining your new path to wellness.

During follow up visits we review lab findings and initiate your treatment or make changes. Follow up visits are usually one hour. All patients are required to be seen in the office at least once per year to be maintained as an active patient.

For all follow-up appointments, we ask all patients to complete a Progress Note, which is a 1-page PDF with a chart to help track symptoms changes from their previous visit. It also asks for an updated list of medications, supplements and vitamins, which is required to fill out.

As a second option, patients can track and record their symptoms and improvements from the time of the last appointment and email that to the office ahead of time, or bring in a hard copy of that information. This should include a complete list of medications, supplements/vitamins, as well as the doses.

Patients should also come with a prepared list of questions in order of priority.

Follow-up visits are billed according to time and level of care.

For the convenience of our patients who have to travel a long distance to reach our office, we offer appointments over Zoom. Telehealth appointments are billed at the same $540 hourly rate as office visits.

For rescheduling or canceling telehealth visits, we require 3 business days cancellation notice prior to your scheduled appointment or a “no-show” fee may apply. Exceptions will only be made for appointments that are cancelled with a valid proof of an emergency.

Telehealth is not available for the initial appointment, and all patients must be seen in person at the office for their first visit. Patients must also be seen once every 12 months at the office in order to provide continuity of care.

My Path Medical offers a Bioidentical Hormonal Replacement Therapy (BHRT) annual program for hormone management.

This is billed once a year, which begins on the date you sign up, for $1,750.

The program fee includes your yearly office visit ($540) and all direct communication with the doctor, prescription consultation and hormone lab review appointments.
