Journey to better health for all ages
General Practitioner
Preventative care, chronic illness management, well child exams, women's/men's health, sports physicals, and more. Weight loss, hypertension, lipid disorders, sleep disorders, medication management, and more. Referrals for injuries or specialty needs. Evaluations for acute issues such as upper respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal illnesses, urinary, and basic wound management.
Diabetes Management
Diagnosed as a Type 1/autoimmune diabetic myself, I understand the daily struggles and frustrations of diabetes management. I can offer many diabetic services as a primary care provider. If you already have a primary care provider, I can offer diabetic consultation, assistance with device management, or other educational services. Diabetic management has changed significantly, let's work together toward a healthier you.
What Is Not Managed
Obstetric services, emergency services, hospital admissions, in-patient/hospital management, or chronic pain medications.

Medical Consultations
Do you have questions about lab results, medications, or other general health inquiries? Longship can offer hands-free consultation for a reasonable fee. Longship also offers advanced consultations which may include referrals, lab orders, imaging orders, limited prescriptions, and more. This is a practical option for those who may already have a provider and are in need of additional support. Diabetes education and management is available.

What if Longship does not accept/contract with my insurance?
SUPER BILL/DIRECT PAY
Direct pay/superbill is a great option. A patient pays the cost of the visit up front. Longship provides a detailed invoice, aka Superbill, which the patient submits to their insurance for reimbursement.
How do I find out my coverage for super-billing?
Most HMOs do not cover out-of-network. However, many other insurance options have some form of out-of-network coverage. Best practice is to reach out to your insurance company, ask about this option, how reimbursement works, and how reimbursement is covered.
