At Jennings Health we respect and support the medical autonomy of each patient and family. We do not require adherence to a specific vaccine schedule. Our approach is to provide information, answer your questions, and support you in making decisions that are best for your family's health.

Our office hours are by appointment only, and will vary week to week.

At Jennings Health, we understand that true wellness is a lifelong journey and an invaluable investment. Our unique offerings are suited to those who value personalized, holistic, evidence-based solutions. ​ Jennings Health does not participate with any insurance carriers for visits, which allows us to serve you directly. We operate on a fee-for-service system and care for children and families regardless of their insurance status. Should the need arise, prescriptions, conventional labs, and imaging will be covered based on your insurance plan through participating pharmacies, labs, and imaging centers.

Jennings Health is an out-of-network provider for all insurance carriers. After each of your visits, a superbill will be available on the patient portal. You can submit the superbill directly to your insurer with any required claim forms for potential reimbursement. Jennings Health will not communicate with your insurance company for the purpose of reimbursement. If you have Medicare, you cannot submit a claim for reimbursement; Stefanie Jennings has opted-out of Medicare.

Jennings Health is an integrative practice. We approach all care through a functional medicine framework, digging a little deeper than the typical practice. Therefore, lab test coverage by your insurance may vary. We are able to send labs to major companies such as Labcorp and Quest. We also offer specialty labs. These labs would not be covered by your insurance; you will be notified of the price prior to ordering. Companies used for specialty testing include Rupa Health, Genova Diagnostics, ZRT Laboratory, Mosaic Diagnostics, DUTCH, and more.

Yes, you are able to pay for your visits with your HSA or FSA debit card.

All patients or parents will be required to sign an Authorization for Integrative Medical Treatment.

Jennings Health will prescribe integrative treatment programs which may include conventional medical care, nutritional therapies, herbal medicine, homeopathy, functional medicine, and other aspects of integrative medical treatment. The patient or parent must understand that any or all of the above referenced treatment modalities may be considered unproven or experimental by other medical practitioners, agencies, or third party payers and may not be reimbursable. The patient or parent desires to pursue integrative medical treatment after having considered all factors, including the information contained herein, and will acknowledge that there are no warranties or assurances of successful outcome of treatment.

At Jennings Health, we understand the value of your time and the convenience of picking up the phone or writing a portal message. These electronic consultations can save you the time and expense of an in-person appointment, or a trip to an urgent-care office or emergency department. All non-urgent texts, calls, or portal messages should be limited to brief matters that cannot wait until your next appointment, and that would not be better served with a scheduled in-office appointment or virtual visit consultation. If it takes you more than a couple of minutes to compose your message, it is likely best for you to schedule an appointment to discuss the matter. We are available for the following texts/calls or patient portal messages during regular business hours: Brief questions that do not require a new diagnosis, change in treatment plan, additional follow- up, paperwork, referrals, or prescriptions. Brief requests for clarification on labs, dosing and treatment plans from a previous office visit. Brief questions regarding possible reactions to supplements or treatments. Prescription refill requests for medications and supplements prescribed by our practitioners if a refill is appropriate. Except for the simple questions detailed above, all non-urgent texts/calls or portal messages that cannot wait until your next visit will be considered “Virtual Visits” and charged to your credit card on file according to Urgent/Sick Appointment rates. Phone or portal message topics that may be charged as a Virtual Visit include: Urgent advice requests that require extensive triage, treatment plan updates, laboratory orders, prescriptions, or referrals. Non-urgent consultation requests for existing or new symptoms that do not require a face-to-face evaluation. Any symptom or topic that requires further evaluation, additional lab testing, changes to treatment plans, or new prescriptions. Frequent or lengthy messages with multiple questions. Topics that require back and forth discussion. Request for new lab orders prior to the next visit. Review of labs

Jennings Health uses a patient portal, OptiMantra, to enable our patients to communicate with Stef, NP easily and securely for non-urgent matters. Our office does not use email for established patient communications. Established patients can request new appointments, view scheduled and past appointments, request medication refills, update demographic information, and send and receive non-urgent messages in the patient portal. These communications become part of your patient record. For urgent communication or advice, please text or call ‭(571) 506-7265‬. Please note that urgent communications may be turned into a Virtual Visit with associated fees.

For established patients seeking advice regarding urgent matters, please text or call ‭571-506-7265‬. Texts/Calls that require more extensive follow-up, lab orders, new prescriptions, or treatment plans will be turned into a Virtual Visit with associated fees. Texts/Calls that end up requiring an in-person office appointment will not be charged. Urgent advice texts/calls are not to be used for discussion of complex or chronic issues, change in treatment plans, or review of labs. For medical emergencies, please call 911 or proceed to the nearest hospital.

For overnight, urgent advice or care, please seek attention at a local urgent-care office or emergency department. Urgent Care Options: PM Pediatric Urgent Care (https://pmpediatriccare.com) is open late; several locations close at 10 PM or later.

Payment for services rendered is due in full at the time of appointment booking. Payment methods accepted are credit, debit, or HSA/FSA cards. Your chosen method of payment will be kept on file to guarantee against late cancellations and missed appointments. Jennings Health is not contracted with any insurance companies. You are financially responsible for all services rendered by our office at the time of the appointment. We can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance as part of an out-of-network claim. Jennings Health does not follow-up on claims you've submitted to insurance; it is your responsibility to contact your insurance company for any required actions regarding outstanding claims. You are advised to know your policy coverage and limitations.

Jennings Health does not charge for simple forms that are brought to your in-office appointment and can be completed during that time. We charge $25 per form for simple forms and letters that are not completed during an appointment (forms for daycare, school, camp, FSA prescriptions, referral forms, school/work excuse letters, jury duty letters, etc.) and that do not require extensive chart review. Some forms and letters requested by insurance or for other legal uses, including but not limited to forms for prior authorization, FMLA, or other legal purposes, require extensive review of medical records. These forms will be billed according to the time needed to complete them and charged to your credit card on file. You may be asked to schedule an appointment prior to completion of any form if you or your child have not been seen in the previous 12 months. Please allow 5-7 business days for all forms and letters. Any paperwork that requires a faster turnaround will incur a rush fee of $50 in addition to any other fees.

Jennings Health may order lab tests in the management of your or your child’s care. We will review the test results as we receive them and notify you if any results require immediate attention. Otherwise, all test results will be reviewed during a follow-up appointment. It is your responsibility to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss all test results.
