06Integrative & cash-pay

Run a cash-pay practice without the billing drag.

Insurance still won't reimburse the extended visits and coaching that define integrative medicine — so most practices run cash-pay or HSA/FSA. Ona's billing flexes to fit, instead of fighting it.

Integrative Medicine

The defining constraint of integrative medicine hasn't moved: insurance won't pay for the things that make it work — long visits, in-depth coaching, personalised lifestyle planning. So most practices run on cash-pay, HSA and FSA. The software problem isn't documentation complexity; it's payment flexibility, because a billing flow built for insurance claims gets in the way of a practice that doesn't file them.

Ona's billing is built to flex. Generate itemised invoices straight from the chart, take payment by card, bank transfer or a payment plan, and send receipts the moment a payment clears — receipts patients can submit for HSA/FSA reimbursement. The financial flow fits the cash-pay model instead of fighting it.

Every feature in Ona is available to every plan — but these are the ones this audience tends to lean on hardest.

01

Billing that fits a cash-pay model.

Itemised invoices straight from the chart, payment by card, bank transfer or payment plan, and receipts sent the moment a payment clears — itemised receipts patients can submit for HSA/FSA. No insurance-claim machinery in the way.

Long visits, wherever the patient is.

Encrypted browser-based video with a waiting room and one-click join. The extended, coaching-style visit that defines the practice runs from the chart — no third-party room, no pasted links.

02 · A cash-pay practice

From first inquiry to a paid, documented visit.

  1. Inquiries land in one place.

    Leads from your site, the AI receptionist and referrals drop into a stage-based pipeline with owner, source and last-touch data — so the cash-pay funnel isn't a spreadsheet.
  2. Booking and payment in one flow.

    Self-service booking against real-time availability, with payment by card, bank transfer or plan — and an itemised receipt the patient can submit for HSA/FSA.
  3. The long visit runs in the chart.

    In-person or over telehealth, the ambient scribe drafts the extended visit against your template, so the depth of the work doesn't cost you the documentation.
  4. The receipt clears on the spot.

    Payments post against the patient record the moment they clear; receipts go out automatically. Balances, refunds and statements are one click away.

FAQ

Integrative Medicine — common questions.
