Yes! As long as treatment does not require hands-on, physical manipulation or assessment, we offer both half-hour and one-hour appointments over Zoom. If you are scheduling online please make sure you select “Virtual + Service.”An access link will be provided in the confirmation email once your appointment has been scheduled.
Our one-hour initial appointments are meant to get an assessment of current health. They can include: health history, review of previous diagnostics, current diagnosis, medication review, health goals, potential diagnostics (as indicated), chiropractic adjustment (as indicated), potential treatment plan.
Our Follow Up appointments are meant for assessment and/or physical adjustments and are a half-hour long.
Our Lab Review appointments are solely meant for reviewing diagnostics and discussing treatment plan/protocol. They are an hour long because a lot of information will be exchanged. There is typically not enough time for manual therapy during a Lab Review.
We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. No-show appointments will be billed the full amount of the appointment type scheduled.
If you need to cancel outside of regular business hours please login to the patient portal and cancel/reschedule there. https://my.practicebetter.io/#/signin

Yes! Commonly referred to as a Superbill, these forms break down your visit or diagnostics by diagnosis and treatment codes. These codes are internationally recognized and can be known as ICD-10 codes, CPT codes, etc.

Not every patient will need diagnostic testing. Many will. We are always happy to look over previous diagnostics that are less than two years old. It is ideal that they be sent ahead of a patient’s Initial Consultation but we know that isn’t always possible.
It is not, however, required. We understand not everyone will have current diagnostics or the proper testing for diagnosis or future treatment. Your practitioner will make recommendations if necessary.
We work with many different laboratories that offer very unique diagnostic testing and convenient options such as home collection. It is not possible to list every test and/or marker individually. If you are interested in a specific test(s) please call our office for a quote (303) 652-0900.

That will be entirely up to your insurance company and specific plan. We are happy to provide documentation of medical necessity, or a Superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. However, your carrier will make the final determination for reimbursement.
For blood work you will be referred out to the appropriate blood draw location depending on the type of testing required. Routine blood work generally takes about a week to get the results back.
For other tests requiring samples such as urine, stool, saliva, etc., a kit will either be made available to you at your appointment or will be mailed to your home. If a kit is being mailed to you they generally come by USPS and are subject to regular shipping times.
All kits will include sample collection materials and instructions, as well as return shipping supplies and instructions. Samples will return to the lab by either FedEx or UPS (depending on the lab). We strongly recommend dropping the samples at the participating shipping location and retaining tracking information. DO NOT USE DROP BOXES.
Please make sure to fill out and include any paperwork included in the kit with your samples – PLEASE make sure to fill in the time(s)/date(s) of collection(s) where applicable.
We will receive the results in about 1-3 weeks depending on the test/lab.
We do not. If you require imaging we recommend Health Images, locally in the Denver-metro area. We are happy to provide you with a requisition for imaging. Billing will be between Health Images and yourself. We are happy to provide any documentation needed if you are using your health insurance or other plan to pay for imaging services. As always, coverage/reimbursement will ultimately be made by your carrier.
You can call us during regular business hour, send us a message over the portal or email us at info@altfammed.com. We will check inventory and make arrangements for pick-up or shipping.
Please note we ship using USPS on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. You will receive tracking information from noreply@goshippo.com. Orders over $150 will receive free shipping.
