To provide each patient with the time and attention necessary to treat them in an integrative, holistic, and personalized manner, we cannot accept insurance, HSA, or FSA for our direct services. Dr. Adame is an out of network physician for all insurance plans. However, you can use your insurance for lab work, medications, and IVIG. We process prior authorizations for IVIG, and we will appeal any denials, but the ultimate decision for approval of coverage depends on the insurance company. This varies by state.

We ABSOLUTELY see patients from other states, but they have to be physically at our clinic in Culver to meet with Dr. Adame within a few weeks after enrolling and before she orders medications . Most follow up visits can be done virtually. Dr. Adame is licensed in Indiana and Ohio. BUT she must see your child in person, at our Culver location to establish a legal, doctor-patient relationship. The in person visit is also necessary so Dr. Adame can obtain a baseline physical examination in case your child experiences a change in health status. Make it a day or a short overnight trip when you come to your appointments! Culver is our amazing small town by the lake!

There is a short wait list. It takes about 2-4 weeks to join our practice, but we promise we are worth the wait!

Yes, membership can be cancelled at anytime. We understand circumstances and needs change. We aim to make cancellations and transfer to your new practice as seamless as possible. We will send your children’s medical records to their new doctor upon your request in writing. If you change your mind and decide to re-enroll your children with Culver Pediatrics Center, a re-enrollment fee of $1,000 per child will be charged to your credit card to reactivate their membership.

Dr. Adame is a Western-trained, evidence-based physician. She follows science-backed treatment guidelines. Dr. Adame also integrates a holistic approach to reduce inflammation with high-protein, high-fiber, plant-forward nourishment and other non-pharmaceutical interventions. Once your child’s healing journey reaches a stable outcome, and with shared family decision-making, we encourage a move to UNMEDICATE with close follow up and support.
