Why We Don't Accept Insurance

At PICMI, our mission is simple: provide the most advanced, personalized care in brain health, integrative medicine, and mental-health recovery — without the limitations of the traditional insurance model. Insurance companies were not designed to support complex, root-cause medical care. They reward short visits, high patient volume, and treatment plans restricted to what can be coded, approved, or reimbursed. Our approach requires the opposite.

We chose not to take insurance because:

1.
Your care should be guided by clinical need — not billing codes.

Insurance companies limit what physicians can order, the time they can spend with you, and the therapies they can use. PICMI offers advanced services that insurance does not cover, including:

  • Functional brain mapping and quantitative EEG analysis
  • Precision-based cognitive and mental-health plans
  • Integrative medicine protocols
  • Peptide therapy and cellular optimization
  • Psychedelic-adjacent preparation and integration
  • Extended medical and psychotherapy visits
  • High-touch follow-up and monitoring

These services simply cannot exist inside a traditional insurance model.

2.
You deserve more than a 10–15-minute appointment.

Insurance-based care forces clinicians to see 20–30 patients per day. At PICMI, your visits are intentionally much longer — often 60–120 minutes — allowing us to deeply explore:

  • Your medical history
  • Brain function
  • Emotional health
  • Genetics
  • Lifestyle
  • Cognitive resilience
  • Personalized treatment options

This level of care is only possible when we remove the insurer “middleman.”

3.
Direct care lets us invest fully in you.

Billing insurance requires a full administrative staff, hours of documentation, and fights over pre-authorizations. By choosing a direct-care model, we:

  • Eliminate unnecessary overhead
  • Avoid insurance-driven restrictions
  • Keep our focus on patient results
  • Invest those resources directly into your care, testing, follow-up, and innovative therapies

4.
Insurance does not cover what truly improves long-term brain health.

Traditional insurance covers crisis care — not preventive brain health, cognitive decline prevention, neuroplasticity work, high-touch counseling, or integrative approaches. PICMI specializes in helping people:

  • Heal from depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, and burnout
  • Improve cognitive performance and memory
  • Optimize mood, sleep, and resilience
  • Understand their genetics
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Regulate the nervous system
  • Prepare for and integrate psychedelic-assisted therapies
  • Prevent long-term cognitive decline

Insurance does not pay for this level of comprehensive care. We believe you deserve it anyway.

5.
Membership gives you continuity, access, and a true clinical partner.

PICMI’s membership structure ensures you receive:

  • Direct access to your clinician
  • Extended visits
  • Ongoing monitoring
  • Personalized treatment plans
  • Integrative care support
  • Brain health tracking
  • Discounted labs and testing
  • Access to specialized services not available elsewhere

Membership creates a stable partnership focused on healing, not billing.
