Frequently Asked Questions:

Do You Accept Insurance?

Dr. Zablozki-Amir does not bill or accept insurance directly.

Patients with out-of-network benefits may be eligible for reimbursement, and we provide a superbill at your request that can be submitted to your insurance company. Reimbursement depends on your individual plan and cannot be guaranteed.

Insurance companies determine what services, testing, and treatments they will cover and can limit flexibility in how care is structured. Remaining independent of insurance allows the practice to offer a more personalized approach without those coverage restrictions.

Why Does The Doctor Typically See Patients By Telehealth?

We see patients predominantly by telehealth. There are many benefits to this, including:

• Convenience and flexibility: Receive care without the time and disruption of traveling to an office or sitting in a waiting room, making it easier to incorporate appointments into your schedule and maintain continuity of care.

• A window into your daily environment: Connecting from your own home or workspace can provide valuable insight into the routines, habits, and factors that influence your health.

• Greater scheduling flexibility: Telehealth allows us to offer care in a way that is more adaptable to patients’ schedules.

Visits are structured to be conducted through a secure, and simple to use HIPAA-compliant portal designed to protect your privacy and confidentiality.

While many aspects of functional medicine evaluation and care can be effectively provided through telehealth, certain situations may require an in-person assessment or additional evaluation. If this becomes necessary, we will discuss the appropriate next steps and help coordinate care with the appropriate healthcare provider.


Are There Any In-Person Options?

Yes. In-person consultations are available in select cases. Discuss it during your Initial Functional Medicine Consultation – which will be via telehealth – to find out if it’s a good fit.

In Which States is Dr. Zablozki-Amir Licensed To See Patients?

Dr. Zablozki-Amir is licensed to practice medicine in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. Patients should be physically located in one of these states at the time of their telehealth visit for treatment.

If you are located outside of these states, please contact our office so we can determine what type of guidance may be available based on applicable state regulations.

Why Is Lab Testing Important?

Lab testing can help us better understand your unique “inner terrain”—what may be working well, where there may be vulnerabilities, and what your individual needs may be. It also gives us a baseline from which to track changes over time and see where your health trajectory is headed.

Testing can provide insight into areas such as nutritional needs, the microbiome, inflammation and immune activity, food senstivites, hormone balance, and comprehensive heart and metabolic health risks. These insights can help uncover opportunities that may not be apparent from symptoms alone.

It helps us get the right information to better understand you and help guide a more personalized, effective plan for your health.

Labs are usually ordered from both, national labs such as Labcorp or Quest, and specialty labs such as:
Boston Heart Diagnostics,Genova Diagnostics,Vibrant Wellness, Cyrex Laboratories, Rhein Labs, Precision Analytical‍(Dutch Test), ‍Tiny Health, Oral DNA and others.

If you have a question about a specific lab listed or not, please contact us.

We also welcome results of previous labs ordered by other practitioners.

Are Laboratory Testing Costs Included Or Covered By Insurance?

Laboratory testing costs are additional and are customized based on your health goals and the information needed to guide your care. Lab fees are paid directly to the laboratory.

Some testing may be covered by insurance and will vary depending on the lab and your individual plan.

Dr. Zablozki-Amir does not mark up laboratory costs and will provide guidance on recommended testing and expected costs before any labs are ordered.

Can the Doctor Help Me Figure Out What To Eat And Which Supplements I Need?

Yes. This is one of her favorite things to do. There is so much information about nutrition and supplements, and much of it is conflicting. It can be overwhelming.

The bottom line is that there are great general guidelines, but they need to be made personal to the individual. Understanding your existing nutritional habits, health history, and goals, along with identifying nutritional insufficiencies and metabolic imbalances through lab testing, helps her determine what foods and supplements would be most meaningful for you.

If I Am Under Dr. Zablozki-Amir’s Care, Do I still Need A Primary Care Doctor?

Dr. Zablozki-Amir’s practice is designed to complement, not replace, your primary care relationship. Patients should ideally maintain an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider for urgent or acute concerns, and needs that require an in-person physical examination.

Who Can Benefit From Meeting With  Dr. Zablozki-Amir?

Anyone who is open to a new way of looking at health. She successfully works with people of all ages to help proactively get a handle on their health, whether to address a health issue from a root cause approach or to help optimize their long term health trajectory.

The Doctor Has a Long Name, What Does She Prefer to Be Called?

Dr. Zablozki, Dr. Ilana, or Dr. Z. Any one is fine.
