No Insurance for now
Most of what I do is based on my Pastoral Medical License--non-conventional medicine.
Cash
New Patient $450 ( I charge the rate of a Master Plumber) Your body is worth more than the plumbing system in your house. This is lower than other comparable Functional Medicine/Environmental Medicine/ILADS physicians. You will need to fill out an extensive intake forms and environmental exposure forms before the intake, and send me pertinent laboratories and studies.
Hourly Rate: $300/Hour
30 Minute Follow-Up: $150
15 minute free phone consults.
You will likely need about 5 hours of my time/2 month time. Total of $1,500. But even a one hour consultation will be enough to help investigate the cause of your illness. The consultation will be over the phone.

Laboratories
If you live in MA, I can order laboratories for you. However, outside of MA, you will need to find a local functional medicine MD who can order laboratories and are licensed in your state.
Prior to the visit, please have a local functional medicine MD get order the Shoemaker Panel and I can also send you a list of my recommended laboratories. I personally do not want my patients to spend too much money on expensive specialty laboratories unless one requires a biochemical assay to support diagnosis for in-case prescription drugs are recommended (Lyme, Diabetes Insipidus, POTS, MCAD, Elevated Cholesterol, etc.).
Some helpful labs that your insurance will likely pay for (depends on your insurance).

Shoemaker Panel: HLA DR DQ, MSH, VEGF, MMP-9, TGF-beta, ADH/OSM
Complete blood count with differential (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
