Functional wellness coaching works alongside—not in place of—your medical care to help support overall health and well-being.

Most wellness coaching services are not covered by health insurance because they are considered educational and lifestyle support rather than medical treatment. However, some Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) may cover certain services depending on your plan.
