OUR PRIORITIES
Access & Affordability
PRIORITY 2: ACCESS & AFFORDABILITY
The right care should never be out of reach.
Even when doctors know what treatment is best, many families can’t access it because insurance refuses to cover it or because certain therapies are unavailable in their region.
Whole-person care shouldn’t be limited to a privileged few.
THE PROBLEM
- Integrative care is often financially inaccessible
- Insurance frequently denies functional or holistic treatments
- Rural and underserved communities lack access to specialists
- Outdated regulations block new treatment options
- Costs escalate when root causes go untreated
Patients pay the price — physically, emotionally, and financially.
WHAT WE SUPPORT
- Expanding coverage for holistic, functional, and integrative care
- Making doctor-recommended care accessible regardless of insurance approval
- Removing geographic access barriers
- Increasing telehealth and virtual care options
- Encouraging cost-lowering innovations
- Ensuring fair reimbursement for holistic and integrative providers
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FAMILIES
- Lower long-term healthcare costs
- Better health outcomes
- More treatment options
- Fewer financial roadblocks
- A system built around prevention, not crisis management
