Your Questions, Answered

  • MT Burdell Health is a private, out-of-insurance practice open to adults located in California. Due to federal regulations, I am unable to see or accept payment from Medicare beneficiaries at this practice. This is not a reflection of anything other than a strict federal rule tied to my work at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) — it applies regardless of whether you intend to use Medicare for your visit.

  • No. MT Burdell Health does not accept any insurance plans. All services are private pay. This allows us to keep your care focused entirely on your needs — not on what an insurance company is willing to authorize or reimburse. A superbill is able to be provided upon request that you can submit to your insurance.

  • No. Opiate prescribing is not part of the care offered at MT Burdell Health. Our approach to pain is integrative and root-cause focused — using osteopathic treatment, evidence-informed interventions, and personalized planning to address what's actually driving your pain.

  • Integrative Pain Consultations and Weight Management visits are available via telehealth for patients located in California. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment requires an in-person visit at our Napa office.

  • That's exactly what the free 15-minute Care Fit Call is for. We'll talk through what you're dealing with, what you've already tried, and which service is the best starting point for you. There's no pressure and no commitment — just a conversation.

  • OMT is a hands-on form of medical treatment performed by osteopathic physicians. It uses gentle techniques to assess and treat restrictions in the muscles, joints, and connective tissue — improving mobility, reducing pain, and supporting the body's natural ability to heal. It is medical care, not massage or chiropractic.

  • Your membership includes a monthly 1:1 visit with your physician, ongoing plan adjustments, and medication management when appropriate — including GLP-1 agonists and other evidence-based weight management medications. It's a true medical partnership, not a program with a finish line.

  • I'd still love to support your health journey. Keep an eye out for my latest medical education courses on chronic pain and weight management — designed to give you evidence-based tools and strategies you can use right now, wherever you are.

  • We follow the guidance of the Obesity Medicine Association, which recommends against using compounded GLP-1 medications due to concerns about quality, safety, and consistency. To ensure the highest standard of care, we only prescribe FDA-approved medications sourced from reputable pharmacies.
