FAQs

What’s the difference between going through my insurance and setting up a membership?

We offer the Culina Health membership as an option for patients who are not covered by insurance or who do not wish to use their insurance policies, such as those who have high deductibles that have not been met. Membership sessions are entirely paid for by your monthly dues, and there will be no claims to submit to insurance.

When will you bill me for my monthly membership fees?

We will bill you on the same date each month, starting on the date you sign up. If you purchase a membership on the last day of the month, your membership will renew on the last day of each month. Payment is automatically processed on the same day of each month until membership is canceled, prior to services rendered. You can cancel or change your membership at any time.

What happens if I don’t use all my sessions in a month?

Unused membership sessions do not carry over month to month, and Culina Health will not refund any unused monthly sessions. You can cancel or pause your membership at any time prior to the next billing cycle. After you cancel your membership, you may still use all allotted sessions within the month of cancellation.

What is the session cancellation and reschedule policy?

Unused membership sessions do not carry over month to month, and Culina Health will not refund any unused monthly sessions. Memberships can, however, be canceled or paused at any time prior to the next billing cycle. You may use all allotted sessions within the month of cancellation.

What is the cancellation and reschedule policy?

Session cancellations and reschedule requests must be made at least 24 hours before the session is scheduled to take place. If you late cancel, late reschedule, or no-show, you will forfeit the session and not be eligible for a refund or reschedule. Please see our cancellation policy for more details. 


What happens if I cancel within my first two months?

If membership is canceled prior to the completion of your introductory month plus one full month of follow-up sessions, you will be charged at a standalone rate of $225 for your initial session and $100 for any follow-up sessions. Your membership payment will be applied towards this fee.


Will my insurance reimburse membership fees?

You cannot submit fees associated with your Culina Health membership for reimbursement.
 


What if I sign up for a membership and later choose to use insurance coverage for my sessions?

We are unable to retroactively apply your insurance benefits to sessions completed during your membership. However, we will assist you in switching your payment method over to insurance coverage once we receive your information.
