Functional Medicine Specialty Labs

How does Functional Medicine Lab Testing differ from traditional blood work, as done by my physician?

When a traditional physician runs standard blood work, they are looking for an already established disease process. Generally, action is taken only when the lab results are out of the normal range. The trouble with this is that many people might not have an actual disease yet, but they are suffering from chronic symptoms already. Why wait until the damage has been done? Functional medicine lab testing aims to prevent disease before it happens by assessing patterns of imbalance that, without intervention, will end up yielding chronic disease. When a known disease is already present, these tests can help us understand what may be causing your disease on a more personalized level.

How much does it cost?

One of the reasons why our patients love the Motion Wellness Ultrasound Clinic is because we provide our imaging scans at the lowest cost to our patients. Our scans start at $100 for a full Imaging plus a doctor's written report. If you get our scans done at one of the popular Imaging chains, or even at a hospital, it can cost you anywhere from $1,000 to over $3,000. We provide our service at a fraction of that cost, which is why our patients love our clinic.
Do I need a doctor's order/referral?

You are welcome to bring your orders from your physician or have your Dr. Fax us his orders to our FAX (844) 740-0174 we will send the results report directly back to him after our radiologist reads the exam. If you don't have a referral no problem, the state of Mississippi does not require a referral for ultrasound services, we have contracted with local physicians if you do not have a referral we will connect you with a physician so you have someone to follow up with your study results. Since we do not bill insurance, we do not require this, however, if you have your exam with another company that accepts insurance you may need a referral. One of the reasons why our patients love our clinic is because we allow our patients to “self-refer". That means that you can schedule scans at your convenience without the hassle of insurance companies, getting a doctor’s referral, or the extended wait times that imaging clinics might have.
Does Motionwellness accept insurance for their services?

Yes, Motionwellness accepts all major insurance plans. If your specific insurance is not accepted or if you do not have insurance, you can choose to pay with cash. In such cases, we will provide you with a superbill, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Our goal is to make our services accessible to everyone, ensuring that you can focus on your wellness journey without worrying about payment logistics.
Will my doctor accept my results?

Typically results are sent in 3 business days. Same-day results may be available for urgent or surgical patients.
What is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a way of taking pictures inside the body using sound waves. An ultrasound is safe, painless and does not have radiation. It is used to detect a variety of conditions in the heart, abdominal area, tumors, cysts, gallstones, uterus, pregnancy and more.
What happens during an Ultrasound?

During an Ultrasound, the patient lies down on a table, as the sonographer gently guides an ultrasound probe over the intended area. Typically no fasting is required (except with abdominal exams). Most exams take 20-30 minutes, although some may take closer to one hour. It is suitable for every part of your body, including breast, heart, and arteries and is one of the most widely used imaging techniques to date.
What happens if my results are abnormal?

If your Imaging scan has any abnormal or irregular findings, our board-certified radiologist / cardiologist will review the scan and detail these abnormalities and irregularities in the report.
Can I drive myself after my scan?

Yes.
What are the risks of ultrasound?

The ultrasounds that we perform at our clinic are not invasive and carry little to no risk. If you have any specific risks depending on your health condition, please contact us so we can address those beforehand.
