Appointment Descriptions

Discovery

Let’s get to know one another! All new patients are provided a complimentary required Discovery session. During this 15-minute conversation, meet A to Zebra Health founder and practitioner Katie Volkers. Share your health concerns and goals to determine if A to Zebra Health is the right care for your medical needs. (Complimentary)

Intake (2)

Now that we have met and decided to move forward together, let’s dig in and discover the details of your health journey.

The first of two sessions (1 hour), the intake, offers you support and opportunity to share your unique health odyssey with our board-certified Patient Advocate. Your story is refined into a practical one-page document we call Zebra Health Journey. It includes your concerns, goals, medications, and care professionals’ contact information. Your Zebra Health Journey is shared with our APRN Practitioner.   ($100 due)

 The second intake session (1.5 hours) is a medical appointment. Our APRN Practitioner will have reviewed your Zebra Health Journey. Piecing together a diagnosis starts here. Steps may include advanced labs, functional medicine interpretation, and baseline imaging. Referrals like an “EDS aware” physical therapist and/or orthopedic massage therapist may be offered. All this to establish your medical management and symptom resolution program. (Remaining $350 due)

(Total for 2 intake appointments: $450)

Integrative Wellness

This (1 hour) visit is for patients who wish to establish care with A to Zebra Health for health optimization, but do not have connective tissue disorder. Note: new patients desiring this service are encouraged but not required to schedule the Discovery Session prior to booking this visit. (Hourly rate)

Advanced Lab Testing & Functional Medicine Interpretation

Schedule a 1-hour appointment, because your lab results are in. Katie will interpret and explain in plain language what they mean for you. Often, this break-through session leads the way to providing you a plan to stabilize your condition so you can thrive! (Hourly rate + lab fees)

30-Minute Follow Up

Schedule a 30-minute appointment when you need to discuss an existing problem. For example, a response to a previous treatment, current medication effects, or to update us on the care you may be receiving from other providers. It’s important for A to Zebra Health to have a continued understanding of what’s working for you and what’s not. This is your medical management and symptom resolution plan working for you. (Hourly rate)

60-Minute Follow Up

Schedule a 1-hour appointment when you need to discuss new problems, or complex existing problems. Medical management and symptom resolution services are provided. (Hourly rate)

60-Minute Consultation

Often, an insider’s view without establishing a patient-provider relationship is needed. This may include:

  • Healthcare consultation for care givers

  • Medical services navigation

  • Lifestyle coaching

This type of appointment does not require an existing patient relationship and does not establish a provider-patient relationship. It can also be ideal for out of state counsel. (Hourly rate + pre-approved travel expenses, if required)
