Frequently Asked Questions

We currently accept HealthChoice and Cigna insurance for a range of functional medicine primary care services, including:

• Primary Care
   
• Physical Exams
   
• Pap Smears
   
• Well Woman Exams
   
• Men’s Physical Exams
   

We are actively working to expand our insurance network and are in the process of credentialing with  UnitedHealthcare, UMR, and Tricare. Please note that insurance credentialing can be a lengthy process—thank you for your patience.

Unfortunately, as of June 2025, Aetna has denied credentialing due to our clinic’s commitment to functional medicine and hormone replacement therapy. We encourage patients to advocate for their health by contacting Aetna and their legislators to demand better coverage for holistic and integrative care.

Due to the nature of holistic and functional medicine, we offer longer appointments and a focus on lifestyle-based health improvements. As such, our insurance-based primary care openings will be limited.

Please note:

• We do not prescribe chronic benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium) or opioid medications (e.g., Tramadol, Tylenol #3).
   
• We seek patients committed to actively improving their health through lifestyle changes and holistic medicine.
   

For patients without insurance, with high deductible plans, or those seeking affordable functional medicine, we offer cost-effective functional medicine memberships and self-pay plans designed to make your health journey accessible.

At this time, we do not accept:

• Medicaid (SoonerCare)
   
• Medicare & Medicare Advantage Plans
   
• CommunityCare or Aetna
   
• Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
   

These insurers’ restrictions limit our ability to provide the personalized, holistic care our patients deserve.

Yes, we prescribe medications when warranted (antibiotics, hormones, weight loss medications, naltrexone, peptides), but also utilize herbs and natural supplements for  patients as well. Sometimes herbal antibiotics work better than prescription antibiotics for certain conditions like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). 

Pathway Health & Beauty utilizes a collaborating physician for the state of Oklahoma, Roberto Ramalhete, MD, in order for the nurse practitioner clinic owner to prescribe medications. You can find more information for the collaborating physician by visiting the Oklahoma Board of Nursing website or the Oklahoma Medical Board website, as collaborating physician information is listed under all nurse practitioner and MD licenses for Oklahoma.

Yes, we can help with hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, menopause, perimenopause, ADHD, obesity, etc, but you may want to find a traditional medical provider if you are not wanting natural treatments included in your plan of care or do not plan to make positive lifestyle changes. The goal is to "de-prescribe" as many medications as possible. We are accepting some commercial health insurance plans, but do provide "pay as you go" self-pay primary care services and primary care functional medicine memberships. 

Visits are scheduled online or by calling the clinic (918-973-4575) and conducted virtually or in person at our Owasso health clinic. 80-85% of the diagnosis stems from your medical history which can be completed virtually. We will email you a link for your video visit. You must be physically in the state of Oklahoma in order to complete the video visit. We are also licensed in Utah and Colorado as well for medical weight loss and peptide therapy. Please log on 5 to 10 minutes prior to your virtual appointment time to correct any technical problems and please arrive to your in person visit 10 minutes prior to your visit. Medications may be shipped to your home from a compounding pharmacy or can be picked up at a local pharmacy. 

You will not receive your booking fee back or may be charged the full price of the appointment if your visit is canceled less than 24 hour prior to your appointment (48 hours prior to extended functional medicine visits) or if you fail to show up for your appointment. Please reschedule or cancel your appointment in order for other patients to be seen in the clinic.
