We are in-network with most California and Pennsylvania PPO and EPO insurance plans.
Work with an expert, empathetic multidisciplinary team for diagnosis, second opinions, and ongoing autoimmune rheumatology care.
Not sure if Rheumission is covered by your insurance, or want to be self-pay?
Your first 1-hour integrative rheumatology telehealth visit is usually billed as a specialist copay for PPO/EPO plans or as an in-network deductible for high deductible PPO/EPO plans. We will confirm coverage after you book your first visit, but we are also happy to confirm beforehand.
Multidisciplinary team care to give you comprehensive treatment includes an all in-network lifestyle medicine provider, mental health provider and registered dietitian. If this specialty is not covered by your plan, we will work with you to be seen only by providers who are covered.
Your first 1-hour integrative rheumatology telehealth visit is $200 for people who are out-of-network, or who carry an insurance plan other than PPO/EPO with the companies listed above. Our research shows this is about 50-60% less than other private pay/self-pay rheumatologists throughout the United States.
Currently, we treat RA, AS, PsA, Lupus, Fibromyalgia and Sjögren's Syndrome. If you are already diagnosed, or we diagnose you with one of these conditions, we offer a membership plan of $300/month for a 3 month minimum. This includes all visits with our multidisciplinary team. Labs, imaging and meds still bill through insurance.
You can meet with your care team as much as you need in order to achieve your health goals. Most patients talk with their care team weekly or monthly via appointments and messaging, and receive responses within 1-2 days during weekdays. You can also schedule video visits with your care team as needed.
Yes, we can work with your existing doctors to help you achieve your health goals. If wanted, we will send a letter to your rheumatologist and primary care provider to introduce Rheumission and how we will partner with them to round out your care. We will share information with them about any medication changes and on your progress, so they are informed about your care. Our goal is to help you achieve your health goals, and working with your existing doctors and care teams will help you be successful.
If you are a current patient and want us to connect with your care team, please send us the contact information for your primary care provider via a message in the Rheumission app, and we can reach out to discuss your care.
Yes. We are a rheumatology care clinic, but without a physical office location. We can work with existing providers you currently work with, or we can handle your rheumatology needs while referring you to in person care or specialists, as needed.
A lifestyle medicine provider performs detailed assessments on nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and substance dependence, while managing and minimizing medications. Lifestyle medicine can help to prevent condition progression and/or can help to decrease your risk for new autoimmune diseases.
For more information about lifestyle medicine as a field of medicine, please visit the American College of Lifestyle Medicine website.
Yes, we can help treat most chronic conditions you would expect from primary care, specifically high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and/or weight challenges. However, we do not take care of urgent care issues such as common colds or the stomach flu, nor do we manage cancer screening or vaccine schedules.
We are in-network with major insurance plans in California and Pennsylvania. In California, we are in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and United Healthcare for PPO and EPO members. In Pennsylvania, we are in-network with Capital Blue Cross and Highmark for PPO and EPO members.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept Medicare/Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, or Medi-Cal plans in CA and PA at this time.
We are expanding — if you have a plan that we do not accept in California or Pennsylvania, or live outside of California or Pennsylvania in the United States, please add yourself to our waitlist.
If you have any questions about your insurance coverage or insurance verification, or want to learn about our self-pay options, please email info@rheumission.com, and we are happy to help.
We are a virtual rheumatology clinic and we can order labs just like your current providers. We will work with you to find the most convenient lab closest to you, and we will send all lab orders to the lab of your choice. The lab will ask you for your insurance information, and you will just pay your standard copay or coinsurance for labs.
All lab orders are discussed with you during your visit and will be sent electronically to Quest or LabCorp unless a different lab is requested. Please message you care coordinator for lab location if needed. If you are at the lab and they do not have your orders, please have them call our practice at (877) 400-9316.
Your lab results can be viewed in the Rheumssion app, sent as a PDF file within your messages. We will also message you our clinical impression of your results. We will review all new lab results with you at your next visit.
Yes! You can send any health information via attachment to support@rheumission.com with your full name and date of birth so that we can attach it to your chart.
A second option: once you have downloaded the Rheumission app, you may also send your medical records and prior lab work to the appropriate provider through the messaging channel.
Select the ‘paperclip icon’ to add the file as an attachment and let them know what it is you are sending in the body of the message, then click the ‘arrow icon’ to send.
Sending this information before your first appointment is especially helpful for your provider to review ahead of your visit.
Our patients are here to tell you about the positive and lasting changes to their health, through their personal stories, symptom scores, and 5-star reviews.
