We recognize it can feel overwhelming to take the first step in making a change in how you have been doing things – emotionally or physically. No matter who you plan to meet with here at Omaha Integrative Care; we will support you. If you are unsure of who you should schedule with first, consider talking with one of our Integrative Coordinators about our services and practitioners. Give us a call at 402-934-1617, option 1.
One of the first questions you might ask is, “Will this be covered by my insurance?” Because coverage and costs can vary greatly among providers and plans, we cannot always provide a definitive answer. The best way for you to find what is covered and what your costs will be, is to contact your insurance company directly. Use this Benefits Verification Form, a step-by-step guide to help you know what questions to ask and what information to gather. If you choose to not use insurance, view our self pay rates here.
In order to make your first visit a richer and more effective experience, the following steps in preparation should be taken:
We recognize accessibility, and so if you are unable to complete the information online via the Patient Portal, please plan on arriving 20 minutes prior to your appointment time.
We understand that carrying a balance can be stressful, which is counter-intuitive to the work you and your practitioner(s) are doing at OIC. Financial health is just as important as other areas of health. We ask that you make payments at the time of service. If this is difficult, talk with your practitioner about creating a plan that works for you. View our appointment attendance policy here.
Mindfulness is not only an effective practice for physical and emotional conditions; it is the way we practice at OIC. This means that we are present in the moment for each person we interact with. Sometimes, this may mean we run late if there is a crisis or situation that needs extra attention. We ask for you to be patient – someday it may be you who needs an extra few minutes!
We strive to create a peaceful and healing environment at OIC. We welcome you to come early or stay a little extra for some respite from the rest of the world. Please help us in maintaining a quiet and healing environment.
The best way to be a partner in your health at OIC is to commit to yourself that you will take good care of you! Many of the integrative therapies are not passive, but require you to practice and work. We know this can be hard and will be there for you. Take a class, sign up for a group, get a massage, stick to your diet and everything else you deserve to do for you. When it gets tough – let us know, and we will be there to support!
