Frequently asked questions

Do you accept insurance?

Luminous Vitality Center is a cash-pay practice. We do not accept or bill health insurance for clinic services.
You may be able to use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds for eligible medical services. Please check with your administrator before your appointment to confirm eligibility and any required documentation.
We offer discounted self-pay laboratory pricing for patients who prefer that option. You may also choose to have your lab orders sent to a laboratory that accepts your insurance. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and test, so please confirm these with your insurer and laboratory prior to testing.

Yes. We currently offer medical weight loss and hormone therapy consultations through Telehealth for Missouri patients. Hormone treatment options may include creams, lozenges or patches when clinically appropriate. In-person services, including pellet placement, will be available once our office opens.

We currently offer Telehealth services to Missouri residents only. Please contact us if you have questions about your eligibility before booking.

Laboratory testing and its frequency depend on your health history, treatment plan, and monitoring needs. Many patients have an annual laboratory evaluation, with additional testing recommended when appropriate.
We offer discounted self-pay laboratory pricing, or we can send your orders to a laboratory that accepts your insurance. Please confirm coverage and any out-of-pocket costs with your insurer and laboratory before testing.

Absolutely not. Every patient is unique, and your care should be too. Your treatment plan will be based on your medical history, laboratory results, goals, and how you respond to therapy over time. We believe the best outcomes come from personalized care not a one-size-fits-all approach.

You deserve healthcare that is personal, compassionate, and designed around you. Let’s take the first step together toward feeling your best.
