The cost of working with Dr. Hagmeyer varies because every patient’s case is different.
Your overall investment will depend on several factors, including the complexity of your case review, the amount of previous testing that needs to be evaluated, how many consults you will have with our nutritional therapist or FDN, and whether additional laboratory or functional medicine testing is recommended.
Dr. Hagmeyer offers Low-, Moderate-, and High-Complexity Case Reviews, allowing the level of review to better match the amount of time and clinical detail your case requires.
During your 15- or 30-minute Discovery Call, Dr. Hagmeyer will discuss your primary health concerns, review what testing you have already completed, and help determine what additional testing—if any—may be appropriate before your case review.
Because testing needs and case complexity vary from person to person, there is not one single cost that applies to every patient. Before moving forward, you will have a clear understanding of the recommended case review level, any testing that may be needed, and the associated costs so you can make an informed decision about your next steps.
Of course! We currently work with patients in over 25 different countries around the world, so we have adapted our practice to work with patients wherever they may be.
If you would like to become a patient and live outside the United States, we recommend that you provide us with the contact information of your general practitioner so that we can keep them “in the loop.”
Any standard traditional blood testing (Thyroid, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.) required by Dr Hagmeyer can be done in a Hospital, Labcorp, Quest, or your general practitioner's office.
Other tests ie (i.e., functional tests) that require Stool, Breath, Saliva, and Urine can be done in the comfort of your own home through specialized home test kits.
These tests come with the test kit, along with a prepaid FedEx shipping envelope, and can be shipped from our labs in Australia, Denmark, and the UK.
The testing that Dr Hagmeyer offers can be done anywhere!

As part of your treatment program with Dr. Hagmeyer, you may work with one of our Certified Nutritional Therapists, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioners, or Health Coaches to help translate your recommendations into practical, sustainable changes.
Most patients benefit from 1–5 follow-up sessions, depending on their individual needs, goals, and dietary complexity. These sessions are designed to help you gain greater clarity around what foods may best support your health, what foods may need to be limited or avoided, and how to make those changes easier to follow in everyday life.
Our nutrition team can assist with meal planning, recipes, food substitutions, dietary troubleshooting, and ongoing coaching, all while working within the recommendations and overall plan established by Dr. Hagmeyer.
Our team has experience supporting a wide range of therapeutic nutrition approaches, including AIP, SCD, GAPS, gluten-free, Paleo, Low FODMAP, Low Histamine, Low Oxalate, and anti-inflammatory diets. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, dietary recommendations are tailored to your individual needs, test findings, health goals, and tolerance.
If you are ready to take the next step and would like guidance implementing your nutrition plan, schedule a 15- or 30-minute discovery call.
That depends on what you're taking and how much progress you can make.
Patients who consult with Dr Hagmeyer are often able to eliminate medications or significantly reduce the amount of medication they are on.
With that being said, we do not monitor drug therapy.
If you are to discontinue your medication, that will be done by your prescribing physician, not by Dr Hagmeyer, DC, CFMP.
This is an important question, but there is no single timeline that applies to every patient. Progress can vary depending on the complexity of your case, the number of areas that need support, how consistently recommendations are followed, dietary changes, supplement compliance, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and the support you have at home.
When a treatment plan is well matched to your needs and followed consistently, we typically expect to see signs that the body is moving in a healthier direction over time. As overall stress on the body decreases and underlying imbalances are addressed, many patients begin to notice improvement in symptoms, energy, digestion, sleep, or other areas of health.
Throughout your program, we carefully track your symptoms and progress so that changes can be identified and your plan can be adjusted when necessary.
In our experience, many patients begin to notice meaningful improvement within the first 6–10 weeks, although some may improve sooner and others may require more time depending on the complexity and duration of their health concerns. Continued progress often occurs gradually as the body has more time to heal and adapt.
Healing is rarely an overnight process, but steady progress over time is what we look for.

One of the most frustrating experiences for patients is being told that their laboratory results are “normal” even though they continue to struggle with fatigue, digestive problems, hormone symptoms, brain fog, weight changes, or other ongoing health concerns.
How can that happen?
Standard laboratory reference ranges are primarily designed to identify values that fall outside the expected range for a reference population. They are extremely useful for detecting disease and significant abnormalities, but being within a laboratory reference range does not necessarily mean that every system in the body is functioning optimally.
There can also be a significant difference between being within the laboratory range and understanding how multiple markers relate to one another.
This is why Dr. Hagmeyer does not look at laboratory values in isolation. He evaluates patterns across your bloodwork, symptoms, health history, and—when appropriate—additional functional testing to develop a more complete picture of what may be contributing to your health concerns.
Depending on your symptoms and health history, conventional bloodwork may provide only part of the information needed to evaluate your case.
Dr. Hagmeyer may recommend specialized functional testing to take a closer look at areas such as:
Digestive function and the gut microbiome stool testing
Nutrient status
Hormone metabolism
Blood sugar and metabolic health
Inflammation and immune function
Organic acids and cellular metabolism
Intestinal health and digestive markers
The goal is not simply to order more testing. Testing is selected based on your individual case and symptoms and is used when the results are expected to provide clinically useful information that may help guide the next steps in your evaluation.
Functional medicine tests are not covered by health insurance.
Any testing recommended by Dr. Hagmeyer is ordered through our website.
Once your testing has been selected and payment has been completed, our team will coordinate the laboratory order and provide instructions for completing your testing. Depending on the laboratory, collection kits may be shipped directly to your home.
Many patients may also be able to use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds for eligible laboratory expenses. We recommend confirming eligibility with your HSA/FSA administrator.
Testing needs vary considerably from patient to patient. The tests recommended for you will depend on your symptoms, medical history, previous testing, and the findings discussed during your Discovery Call with Dr. Hagmeyer.
For patients requiring a more comprehensive functional medicine evaluation, total testing costs and treatement plan may range from approximately $2,000–$4,000, although not every patient will require this level of testing.
The frequency of follow-ups will depend on the nature of your illness and your health challenges.
These vary from person to person. This can only be determined when all recommended tests are completed and Dr Hagmeyer understands the complexity of your case.
Dr. Hagmeyer finds that most people can start seeing significant improvement in their health in 6-10 weeks.
While these are just general guidelines, a patient's recovery is also dependent on how well they incorporate Dr Hagmeyer's recommendations (diet, nutrition, and lifestyle changes).
We view health recovery as a team sport – You need to do your part so that we can do our part. Feel Free to contact us today to learn more.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) enables you to pay for medical expenses on a tax-free or pre-taxed basis. For more information and to see if you qualify, you will need to speak with your medical insurance provider. It is also best to speak with your tax advisor to see if this option is beneficial for you.
Are you not sure what to eat? Bored with the same foods every day? Overwhelmed with a special diet? Need help with Paleo?, Autoimmune Paleo?, Low FODMAP?, Ketogenic diet?, SCD?, Low histamine?, Gluten free?, etc.
Our Certified Functional Nutritionists and Health Coaches will support you as you strive for optimal health with nutrition. We can help with special diets, meal ideas, recipe suggestions, ingredient substitutions, recommended products, goal setting and accountability.
We are very selective about the patients we accept into our programs because we want to make sure that our approach is appropriate for your needs and that we have a reasonable opportunity to help.
Many of the patients we work with have already seen multiple providers, tried different diets, supplements, medications, or treatment approaches, and are still searching for answers. In these situations, improvement often depends on taking the time to carefully evaluate the full picture rather than focusing on a single symptom or isolated laboratory value.
Before making recommendations, Dr. Hagmeyer performs a thorough review of your health history, symptoms, previous testing, and relevant laboratory findings. When dealing with chronic and complex health problems, this investigative process is extremely important. The more information we have, the better we can identify patterns, connections, and potential factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Your participation also plays an important role in your progress. Following dietary recommendations, taking nutritional support as directed, completing follow-up testing when recommended, and consistently implementing lifestyle changes can all influence your results.
Many patients begin to notice meaningful improvements within the first several months of care. However, every case is different, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
If you are following your program carefully but are not progressing as expected, that does not necessarily mean the process has failed. It may indicate that additional investigation is needed. In some cases, Dr. Hagmeyer may recommend further testing, modify your program, or refer you to another healthcare professional when additional expertise or evaluation would be beneficial.
Chronic health problems often develop over many years and may involve multiple layers of physiological dysfunction. Identifying and addressing those layers takes time, careful monitoring, and a willingness to adjust the approach as new information becomes available.
Every patient is different, and the cost of your first visit will depend heavily on the number of functional testing kits and the complexity of your case review.
Dr Hagmeyer has three types or levels of case review. Low, Moderate, and High Complexity. Dr Hagmeyer will let you know what level of a case review you need during your Free 15-minute Discovery call or during a 30-minute Ask Me Anything Call.
Generally speaking, we have found that initial diagnostic testing, case review, and follow-up appointment with Dr Hagmeyer averages between $2,000- $4,000, depending on the complexity of the case and the kinds of testing to be done.
During your Case Review, Dr Hagmeyer will review your bloodwork results along with any additional testing. Dr Hagmeyer will also review his treatment recommendations and the cost of your treatment program.
If you are unable to move forward with Optimal Functional Laboratory recommendations, Testing can be scaled back to meet your needs.
Please note that functional lab testing and supplements are a critical part of our process to uncover the root cause of your health problems; without tests- we are guessing at best. If you are searching for answers as to why you feel the way you do, Dr Hagmeyer believes in testing- not guessing!.
We encourage you to contact us today if you still have questions. We are here to help!
Functional testing are typically a one-time purchase for initial diagnostic purposes.
We do not accept any form of medical insurance Medicare or Medicaid. Our patients pay for the testing at the time of service. Upon your request, We can provide a paid invoice within several days of processing payment. Since Dr Hagmeyer does not accept insurance assignments, offer billing services, or diagnosis codes, we do not fill out these forms for patients and we are not responsible for insurance reimbursements. If your insurance does decide to reimburse you for testing, they will send you a check directly. You may also use pre-tax dollars from a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your consultations and lab fees. Medicare and Medicaid (Public Aid) patients will not be able to submit their visits or testing. Dr Hagmeyer and all clinicians have opted out of Medicare and Medicaid.
At DrHagmeyer.com we are passionate about what we do and feel that it is our calling to provide you with the highest quality functional health care possible. Our Health care system is a mess because your doctors work for insurance companies, not you the patients.
When your doctor works for the insurance company, the quality of care declines. Doctors now rush patients in and out of the office like cattle, and patients are prescribed one medication after the next.
There is also an incentive by insurance companies for doctors not to run certain tests in an effort to save the insurance company money.
Dr Hagmeyer also emphatically believes that healthy people need less medical care. Less medical care saves our patients thousands of dollars of healthcare costs down the road.
Prevention is the Key to a long happy and healthy life.
While we fully understand the financial challenge that not billing insurance may present to some patients, we have chosen not to for a variety of reasons.
It's worth repeating that when medical practices participate in insurance, the physicians must sign a contract that allows the insurance company to decide the type of care the doctor will provide. Insurance companies are often NOT interested in preventative-wellness-holistic care but are highly invested in the conventional model of drug-based medicine. You won't find that at DrHagmeyer.com
Prescription medication and surgery are often covered charges. We, on the other hand, are committed to treating the whole person in a Functional Medicine approach.
Furthermore, physicians who are participating partners in insurance companies must accept the fees designated by them. These fees cover only the briefest of appointments (15-30 minutes tops with the doctor). Individuals who suffer from chronic health problems need a doctor who will spend more than 5-15 minutes understanding their health history and the kinds of testing that individual needs.
In a traditional medical setting, Physicians are forced to see as many patients as they can per hour to keep their offices financially sustainable.
We don’t believe long-term health and the best care for the patient can be provided with these time and fee constraints. This is why we are seeing many physician groups merging with larger hospital settings, where high-tech surgical and diagnostic procedures are priced to keep them financially afloat.

We will provide you with a receipt so that you may file for reimbursement with your insurance provider if you choose to do so. We have found that some insurance companies request additional information that is very specific and specialized to that provider. Given the large number of discrepancies between what each company requires and that time needed to meet those requests, we do not assist with insurance reimbursement above and beyond the receipt for the consult.
Yes and No.
Conventional labs are those that you are likely already familiar with. These are the labs such as thyroid screening testing (TSH, T4), vitamin D, Iron levels, Glucose and Cholesterol, to name a few. Chances are your primary care doctor already ran the extent of testing covered by insurance.
Dr. Hagmeyers practice is different. We need to dig a lot deeper If we are going to try and provide answers and solutions for you. Functional laboratory tests were designed to shed more light on the nutritional aspects of healing.
These tests are important because they shed light on how best to nutritional support your body as well as provide mechanism of cause.
Most of the testing you have had done up to this point is used to determine what kind of medication you need and how much medication to put you on. Since this is not what we do- Most of these tests aren't that helpful.
Since our clinic focuses on Root Cause- the testing we run are designed to provide insight on how best to support your body with Natural medicine- Supplements, Herbs, Diet, and lifestyle.
Flex spending and HSA accounts are pre taxed money that you or your employer has set up. Flex Spending and HSA give you control on how to best spend YOUR money for YOUR wellness needs. These kinds of health saving plans often cover Functional Medicine.
We can provide you with a receipt for the appointment and you are welcome to file with your insurance company. Our office does not provide diagnosis codes. You will not receive any diagnosis codes at your nutritional consultation or follow-up visits with Dr Hagmeyer. If you need diagnosis codes you will need to visit your primary care physician. This may affect your insurance reimbursement. We find that this is a service typically denied.
