Frequently Asked Questions
These are general FAQs about our practice, for treatment specific please visit those pages.
Getting Started
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FREE DISCOVERY CALL?
The discovery call is a relaxed, no-pressure 15-minute conversation with a member of our team. We’ll ask about your symptoms, health history, and goals — and you’ll have the opportunity to ask us anything. By the end of the call, we’ll have a clear sense of whether MVP Medical Care is a good fit for your situation. The next step is your initial consultation with Dr. Sosnowski, where we’ll go deeper into your story, review your health in detail, and determine which services are most likely to help. On your discovery call, there’s no obligation and no hard sell.
DO I NEED A REFERRAL TO BECOME A CLIENT?
No referral is needed. You can book a discovery call directly through our website or by calling our office at 480-588-7787.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?
It helps to bring any relevant lab work, imaging, or medical records from the past 2 to 3 years. A list of your current medications and supplements is also useful. The more context Dr. Sosnowski has going in, the more productive your first appointment will be. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we can request records on your behalf.
DO YOU SEE clients OUTSIDE OF THE SCOTTSDALE AREA?
Our clinic is located in Scottsdale, AZ and in-person visits are required for certain treatments — particularly MeRT and FSM. Some functional medicine consultations and follow-up appointments may be available via telehealth. Contact our office to discuss what’s possible for your situation.
Our Approach
HOW IS MVP MEDICAL CARE DIFFERENT FROM A CONVENTIONAL DOCTOR’S OFFICE?
The most immediate difference is time. A standard primary care appointment is typically 10 to 15 minutes. At MVP, Dr. Sosnowski invests significant time in your intake, your diagnostics, and your ongoing care — because complex problems don’t reveal themselves in 10 minutes. Beyond that, our approach combines conventional medicine with functional, integrative, and cutting-edge therapies that most physician practices simply don’t offer. We’re not here to manage your condition. We’re here to resolve it.
DO YOU PRACTICE CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE OR ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?
Both — and the distinction matters less than most people think. Dr. Sosnowski is a board-certified family physician with over two decades of clinical experience. She operates within the framework of evidence-based medicine while drawing on a much broader therapeutic toolkit than a conventional practice typically uses. Every recommendation is grounded in science, and nothing is done without a clinical rationale.
WILL YOU WORK ALONGSIDE MY OTHER DOCTORS?
Absolutely. We have no interest in replacing your existing care team — only in strengthening it. Dr. Sosnowski is experienced in coordinating with other physicians and specialists, and will never ask you to discontinue a treatment that is working. If anything, the insights from our advanced diagnostics often benefit your entire care team.
DO YOU TREAT CHILDREN AS WELL AS ADULTS?
Yes. We see clients of a wide range of ages, including children — particularly in the context of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and MeRT therapy. Contact our office to discuss your child’s specific situation and we’ll let you know how we can help.
INSURANCE & COSTS
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Some services at MVP Medical Care may be partially covered by insurance, including certain lab work and office visits. However, many of our advanced therapies and diagnostic panels are considered elective or investigative and are not covered by standard insurance plans. We are transparent about costs from the very first conversation — you will never be surprised by a bill.
WHY AREN’T ALL OF YOUR SERVICES COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Insurance coverage is designed around the conventional model of care — diagnosing and prescribing. Advanced therapies like MeRT, peptide therapy, and functional medicine diagnostics don’t fit neatly into standard billing codes, which means coverage is limited or nonexistent. Many of our clients find that the investment is worthwhile precisely because these approaches achieve outcomes that years of insured conventional care could not.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes. We understand that out-of-pocket healthcare is a significant investment and we want treatment to be accessible. Our team will walk you through available payment options during your discovery call or initial consultation.
CAN I USE MY HSA OR FSA?
In many cases, yes. HSA and FSA funds can often be applied to medical services, lab work, and certain treatments. We recommend confirming with your plan administrator, and our team can provide documentation to support your submission.
