Healthspan Immunology

Healthspan Immunology offers three new patient options. A Touchstone initial consult costs $150. A 60-minute new patient consult costs $300. The third option costs $450. Patients can review all pricing directly on the website's payment portal before booking.

Healthspan Immunology does not bill insurance for physician time. Dr. Westermann keeps her time fully available to patients, independent of insurance reimbursement. However, the practice does bill insurance for lab work, medications like IVIG, and radiology tests when the patient prefers to use coverage.

The monthly subscription costs $100 per month. Healthspan Immunology also offers structured membership plans at 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month intervals. These plans support patients who need ongoing, complex care coordination with specialists and interdisciplinary teams.

Yes. Healthspan Immunology offers a free Meet and Greet consultation. This gives prospective patients a chance to ask questions and get to know Dr. Westermann before scheduling a full appointment. PANDAS and neuroimmune patients must complete a Meet and Greet before booking any other appointment type.

Yes. Dr. Westermann conducts telemedicine visits. Patients can schedule telehealth appointments for consultations and record reviews, making the practice accessible to patients who cannot come in person.

The practice uses a Group Purchasing Organization, or GPO, to reduce lab costs through Labcorp and Quest. Many common tests cost less through the GPO than through insurance. Patients can choose to pay cash for labs at the lower rate or bill their insurance if they prefer.

Dr. Westermann offers a dedicated medical records review appointment for $200. She reviews prior records in detail to avoid duplicating tests already completed. Patients can bring records to their initial consultation or schedule a separate records review in-office or via telehealth.

Healthspan Immunology offers 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month membership plans. These plans cover ongoing care coordination for patients managing complex conditions. Coordination can include multidisciplinary discussions with hepatology, rheumatology, neurology, and psychology specialists, as well as outreach to national and international experts and NIH coordination.

Yes. The practice offers sublingual immunotherapy, or SLIT, using personalized allergy drops following the La Crosse Method™ Protocol. This treatment addresses a wide variety of conditions including allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, food allergies, and more, across all age groups.

Dr. Westermann created the term Healthspan Immunology to reflect a focus on both lifespan and healthspan. Healthspan refers to the number of healthy, active years a person lives. The practice focuses on making the immune system as healthy as possible to extend that quality of life, not just overall longevity.
