HealthQuest/Dr. Barsten is a fee-for-service business and does not bill any insurance, and not able to provide services within the Medicare, MediCal, or Medicaid systems. HealthQuest/Dr. Barsten does not bill for workers compensation or personal injury claims. Dr. Barsten, DC is not an HMO member, so these will not cover services provided. This allows my consulting business to keep costs as low as possible and provide you with the highest quality care possible. Upon request, a receipt can be provided and/or a claim form to submit to your insurance company to seek possible reimbursement or to apply towards your HSA or FSA account.
Imaging (X-ray, CT, ultrasound and MRI) : If imaging is needed, a prescription can be provided for a variety of locations throughout the bay area, such as Valley Radiologists, Simon Med, or others. The radiology report will be requested to be emailed or mailed to HealthQuest. The other option is take Dr. Barsten's RX form or recommendation to your primary care doctor to have the imaging ordered, then send a copy to HealthQuest via email.
