We work with most insurance plans and, of course, Medicare. However, if we are not in-network on your plan, our insurance experts will assist you in determining coverage for your services. When we get your insurance information, we can review your policy and better answer the question.

The first step is to come in for a consultation, so we can review your specific situation and physical condition and help you understand how the treatment can help you individually.

You will meet with a member of our medical staff who will review your medical history and physical condition and explain the treatment in more depth. This consultation is very important in creating your customized care plan. Typical consultations take 30 to 60 minutes. You may be asked to come prepared for blood work if your latest blood work is not up-to-date.

Everyone is different, so we rely on your individual and personalized care plan. At your consultation, our medical staff will determine your care plan and course of treatment. Care plans range from one three-hour weekly infusions to one two-hour infusion every six weeks.

We do not require a referral or approval from your doctor; however, please note that we are not a replacement for your doctor. Instead, we prefer to work with your doctor to co-manage your individualized care plan including treatment, testing, and clinical results. Because this is a relatively new modality and most doctors use insulin as a drug versus a hormone, your doctor may or may not be fully aware of this patented treatment protocol. We would be more than happy to schedule a peer-to-peer review at your doctor’s convenience with our medical director. Please feel free to have your doctor review this information and contact us with any questions.

Ask about cash plans and patient financing. We’d love to help!

Morning Appointments Target Glucose: 150 or higher Eat a healthy, balanced breakfast before you arrive. Take all medications as prescribed, EXCEPT take only 1/2 your normal dose of insulin. Hold all oral diabetic medications and insulin the day of treatment. Afternoon Appointments Eat a healthy, balanced meal before you arrive. The night before, take all medications as prescribed. Take 1/2 your insulin dose on the morning of your treatment. Take all other medications as prescribed. Insulin Pump Users Turn pump off two hours before treatment. Do NOT eat breakfast if you have a morning treatment. Turn pump back on immediately after treatment is complete.

Prior to a PIR infusion, it is advised to eat higher-protein meals/snacks. If a high amount of carbohydrates is consumed prior to treatment, blood glucose levels will affect the infusion. Consuming foods/snacks higher in protein will not cause extreme spikes in blood glucose levels.
