Imperative Healthcare N.P., LLC has chosen not to accept insurance for several reasons. Firstly, it allows Angelie Taboada, FNP to focus on providing the highest quality of care without the restrictions and limitations that can come with insurance requirements. She can spend more time with her patients, and tailor treatments to their individual needs, rather than being constrained by insurance company protocols. Additionally, by not dealing with insurance companies, she can keep our overhead costs lower, allowing us to offer more affordable prices to our patients. This means that patients are more likely to be able to access the care they need, even if they don’t have insurance or their insurance doesn’t cover certain treatments. Finally, not accepting insurance helps her to maintain patient privacy, as she is not required to disclose any medical information to insurance companies. Overall, her decision to not accept insurance helps her provide personalized, affordable, and confidential care to her patients.

Yes! We advise you contact your insurance provider to ensure they provide coverage to your desired laboratory (lab) site. Your provider will give you a lab requisition form to take to your desired lab. Please keep in mind, many insurance companies will deny payment on labs for services within Imperative Healthcare N.P., LLC as they do not deem it "medically neccessary." Obtaining comprehensive labs is simply good practice and we believe every patient should be entitled to this. This is why we prefer Rupa Health over major lab corporations.
