Axis Arthritis and Rheumatology Care (Axis Rheum)

Axis Rheum charges $425 for an initial consultation, which includes up to one hour of pre-appointment medical record review and a 60-minute video visit with Dr. Danve. Follow-up appointments cost $225 for a 30-45 minute session. The practice also offers membership packages to select patients following their initial consultation. Patients remain responsible for any costs related to labs, imaging, medications, and other clinical services ordered during care.

Axis Rheum does not accept insurance for visit fees. The practice operates on a transparent, cash-based structure for consultations. Patients can use their insurance for labs, imaging, medications, and hospital services. The practice also provides access to nationally operated labs and imaging centers offering discounted rates for patients who prefer that option.

Axis Rheum schedules new patient appointments within two weeks. This significantly reduces the wait most rheumatology patients experience before seeing a specialist. Patients can start by booking a free 10-minute introductory phone or video call before scheduling a full consultation.
