INTERESTED IN SCHEDULING A CONSULTATION?

Clients interested in working with us through the ReCODE or PreCODE program begin their journey with us by scheduling an initial consultation. This is a 1-hour virtual visit. You will spend 30 minutes with Rachel (our ReCODE 2.0 Certified Health Coach) where she will guide you through a MoCA test. The second half of the consultation will be spent with Dr. Dan.

This is an exploratory meeting where we will learn a bit about one another to see if we would be a good fit to work together. This time is not meant for lab or chart review and Dr. Dan will not be providing any specific medical advice.

There is $150 non-refundable fee for booking this consultation. This will be applied to your membership cost should we decide to work together.

This consultation can be booked on our webpage.

PERSONAL MD – CONCIERGE COMMUNICATION

All COCFM clients have direct access to Dr. Dan LaPerriere through his private HIPAA compliant phone number. You can contact him via call or text with any health-related questions/concerns.

This means you have your doctor at your fingertips. You can request medication refills, ask questions about medications or supplements, get feedback on symptoms or concerns you may be having, etc…

In addition to his functional medicine knowledge, Dr. Dan has many years of experience in primary care, urgent care, and emergency medicine. He can handle a wide range of concerns that may present themselves.

INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

We currently work with clients in the US and in Canada.

The main role of COCFM when working with international clients is to serve as a consultant and provide you with advice and guidance. Dr. LaPerriere does not have working knowledge of what labs, medications, and supplements are available in countries outside of the United States.

It is highly recommended you have a local medical provider who can be a resource and help facilitate testing, prescribing, and referrals if needed. You can have your local medical provider on the Zoom calls with us so they can be aware of what we are doing and ask questions.

If you can make an extended trip to the United States, either to Colorado (preferably) or to another of the states that Dr. LaPerriere is licensed in, we will help arrange testing here in the US. This may include LabCorp or Quest blood panels, Specialty testing (see "Additional Labs" under the ReCODE Foundations program), Imaging including Neuroquant MRI of the brain, and neuro-psych testing. Please call the clinic to see how we may assist you in planning your trip to the US.

Labs take different amounts of time to result. Recommendations can and will change depending on the results of your labs. If quality supplements are not readily available in your country, you may need to remain in the US to obtain these.

Dr. LaPerriere does have an account with the lab company Vibrant America and can ship some testing materials to international locations through this company.

You should plan that you will have some labs rechecked at least every 6 months.

Membership fees, hourly rates, and health coach expectations are the same as those of any other ReCODE or PreCODE client (see above).
