Flexible spending accounts and/or Health Savings Accounts cover 100% of service costs. However, because CPT code 99429 and our service is considered "elective" and an educational and preventive service, most insurance plans will not cover. (Less than 10% of our clients receive insurance reimbursement, and then, only with insurance plans that include "out-of-network" and non-standard-of-care benefits. If you file a claim for reimbursement, your insurer will require a copy of all paperwork (intake forms and thermal imaging reports) accompanying this service transaction along with a claim form after services are rendered.)  Please be sure to view/print the "Insurance Coverage" file on the "Appointments & Documentation" page for suggested questions to ask your insurer.

As an elective service and a fee-for-service, we ask that clients pay at the time of service or on a monthly payment plan. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. (Please advise us if you require a monthly payment plan; it is by check only, and checks must be provided at the time of service. A one-time only handling fee of $7.50 will apply.)

* Clients most often choose this series because they are experiencing symptoms or simply as a non-invasive means of obtaining potential early warning signs and information relevant to their state of health. In it's ninth year of service, The Thermogram Center's thermal imaging rarely reveals signs that may be life threatening, i.e. hypervascularity when it is associated with cancer. However, a more common yet significant sign may include findings consistent with dental infection, which can be invisible to dental xray, but extremely relevant to bodily health. When significant signs are visible, further evaluation of suspect conditions with the client's doctor is recommended. (Community Resource Sheets are available to clients for use in finding doctors, dentists, and functional medicine specialists in their local community.)

Most often, because of the sensitivity of the camera, thermal imaging may reveal signs suggesting stress, irritation, inflammation, infection, or congestion... which may occur without symptoms (and be subclinical). For instance, most of us hold tension/stress in our back muscles, so muscular irritation is commonplace. In other words, most of the time, this series delivers "nice to know" information about the functioning of the body. When findings are consistent with potential risk factors, then risk factor education and management is recommended with qualified health professionals/functional medicine specialists.

Note: Since not all health conditions present thermally, thermal imaging should not be used as a stand alone test. Similarly, the absence of thermal findings cannot rule out significant health conditions.
