IMCNC partners with trusted laboratories like PathGroup and Rupa Health, ensuring thorough and accurate assessment of your health needs.
Labwork provides invaluable insights into your health, guiding personalized treatment plans and facilitating early detection of potential health concerns for optimized wellness.
The labwork process involves providing a sample, such as blood or urine, for analysis, with results typically available within a few days to weeks, depending on the type of tests ordered.
We are partnered with PathGroup Laboratory. PathGroup Lab is located conveniently a few doors down from our clinic in Suite 101 (inside the Dentist Office). This lab is dedicated to providing lab services to patients of IMCNC only. It’s walk-in only, however wait times should be at a minimum due to this location only serving our patients. You will need to bring your insurance card with you and all orders should be in their system electronically.
PathGroup is in network with ALL insurance plans, is very patient-friendly and we work closely with them to get the best for our patients. Regardless of what lab you choose to use, if your insurance will not cover a test that is ordered by your Provider, we do not re-code labs so that insurance will cover them as that is healthcare fraud. Because there are so many different insurance plans, we have no way of knowing which lab tests your specific plan will cover. Exercise your right to decline any tests that you are unsure your insurance plan will cover.
For any Billing related questions please call the IMCNC PathGroup representative, Deborah Barnard at (980) 297-9886. The phone number to the PathGroup Lab Draw Facility near our clinic is (615) 212-5571.

We’ve partnered with RUPA Health to make your specialty lab work experience more convenient and streamlined. Any time we order lab testing from RUPA you’ll receive an email from RUPA with all the instructions you need to complete testing. Their knowledgeable team is happy to answer any of your questions around lab work including:
RUPA Health representatives are available via email support only at support@rupahealth.com
Once you receive your lab kit, be sure to read through all included information as well as any special instructions from your provider on preparation and collection. If the kit requires a blood draw, we recommend going to a walk-in lab such as AnyLabTestNow. Please be aware that kits have expiration dates on them, and certain kits have requirements on days of the week for collection and shipping back to the lab.
RUPA Health is a cash-pay testing service that is not contracted with any insurance companies, and therefore testing via RUPA is not eligible for insurance submission or reimbursement.
Patients with Medicare or Medicare Advantage MAY be able to receive some reimbursement by ordering this test directly from the originating lab – please let us know before taking the test if you have Medicare or Medicare Advantage and need more information.

It has come to our attention that LabCorp may be requiring payment in full upfront based on their estimation of Medicare and other insurance benefits.
Although LabCorp is advising patients to contact IMC to revise diagnoses, this advice is incorrect as we are not able to review the diagnoses or add additional diagnoses.
Patients should strongly consider if they wish to have any test for which they will have to pay out-of-pocket as some tests may not be covered by your insurance plan under any circumstances.
All insurance plans, but Medicare in particular, have tightened up which tests they will pay for. Even if your insurance plan has paid for a test in the past, they may not pay for the same test in the future.
Labs ordered during your appointment are sent electronically to your preferred lab. Please refer to your care summary for more information regarding your lab tests – here you will find a list of your ordered tests, as well as information regarding time frame to have them completed, whether or not you need to fast, any medications or supplements you may need to avoid taking prior to labwork, and if there is a specific time of day they should be collected. If you have questions regarding preparation for labwork not answered in your visit summary, please reach out and we will be glad to assist you.
The amount of time it takes to receive your lab results will depend on the type of tests ordered by your provider. Certain routine tests may only take a few days, while others can take 2-4 weeks to be completed. Because of this, we ask that you are patient in receiving your results. Test results are not sent to your provider until all of the tests in an order have resulted.
Once your results have been received, they will be reviewed and then posted to your portal, which may take up to 2 business days. Results will be reviewed in detail with you at your follow up appointment, and not over the portal. If any results are critical, you will be notified along with instructions.
If you have an upcoming appointment to review results, please do not hesitate to contact us at least 48 hours in advance of your appointment. We will check on the status of your results to determine if you should reschedule your appointment.
No, you must have an appointment to go over lab results. We also encourage you not to look up information regarding your lab results as this can induce anxiety. We will review your results in detail with you at your appointment to help you understand the results as well as provide plan of care recommendations related to these results.

Whether in person or via televideo, this group is hands down the best I’ve found in the area with the exceptional combination of head, heart, and hands. That they are alopathically and naturopathically trained and proficient is the frosting on the cake! I continue to be impressed by their high standards of excellence, and thorough investigative skills since first discovering them several years ago. I feel privileged to have crossed paths with this group, especially Dr. McGregor. Her smile lights up a whole room. You’re in for a real treat!

I flew across the country to consult with this team of highly trained physicians. With a complicated health history and frustrated with relying solely on traditional methodologies, I sought out this clinic for the physicians’s holistic approach to treating patients. The environment is warm and welcoming, the physicians are extremely thorough and deeply caring. I strongly recommend at least a consultation to any patient seeking alternative care options.

I have finally found a doctor who listens and wants to help! They were open to giving me more natural alternatives, instead of pushing stronger meds with more side effects. They seem to genuinely want to correct the root causes of my medical issues instead of just putting a band aid on them. I feel so relieved to have found such a great office! The doctor offered so many simple recommendations that already have me feeling much better and more like myself. Definitely recommend. You won’t be disappointed.
After years of being told that symptoms that I was suffering from were “normal” for a woman my age and feeling dismissed by past doctors, I had extensive blood work as well as other testing done to confirm that there was a deep rooted problem which caused many other health issues. Diligence has paid off and after a year of working with Addie I am feeling better not just physically but mentally as well. She has always been very transparent with her approach and has educated me to understand better how the systems of our bodies work together. I have never felt so heard by a medical professional and for that alone, they deserve full credit!
I am a strong believer in using natural medicine whenever possible but I like having doctors that have the training to use either or both natural/holistic and conventional medicine.
The office has calming esthetics unlike most medical settings.
Thank you for creating a great practice that is patient centered!
Three generations of my family receive solutions and preventative pathways to health at IMCNC.
The IMCNC practice delivers extended healthcare services delivered by skilled practitioners. I have experienced benefit from both expert medical intervention and improved sleep and skin, plus experiencing elimination of pain and inflammation by using red light therapy. I feel calm and confident every time I visit IMCNC.
Addie Skow is the most knowledgeable and compassionate Dr. I have ever seen. She tailors her care for my specific issues, which do not have a straightforward diagnosis (endocrine and hormonal problems). She knows how to treat subtle things, and overt problems in a wholistic way. I cannot sing her praises enough. I am so grateful for her and this practice!
If you are looking for a phenomenal practice, this is definitely the place! The staff, doctors and nurses are all wonderful. Addie Skow took her time and explained things so well. I felt like I finally got answers after years of frustration and lots of wasted visits other places. Give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Energy Medicine (EM) is defined as any energetic or informational interaction with a biological system to bring back homeostasis in the organism. EM treats with the understanding that all illness results from disturbances in this energy known as the human biofield (chi or prana), and works by manipulating the body’s energy fields to achieve a positive effect on physical and mental health. Energy Medicine theory states “Physics does not override biochemistry, it drives it.”
