Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers is dedicated to providing quality treatment for those suffering from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Unrelenting Fatigue. With 12 Centers located throughout the United States, we recognize the need for quality care outside of our current locations. With that in mind, we have created two treatment programs designed specifically for out-of-town and international patients who suffer from these debilitating conditions and have not found quality care.

Before your first appointment, consider the most commonly asked questions:
How much time is spent with at the Center? You should allow at least one to two hours for your consultation which will include approximately 30-45 minutes with our physician and 30 minutes with our Program Manager. Also you will want to allow adequate time to meet with your Case Manager, your personal patient advocate; have blood drawn for lab tests; and utilize therapies deemed necessary by the physician, should you become a patient. Please arrive 20 minutes early and be prepared by making a list of questions for the physician and bringing them with you. It is important that you are well rested and comfortable and open to dialogue with your physician.
Will paperwork be required in advance of the appointment day? Once your appointment is made, you will be emailed/mailed an extensive 11-page questionnaire. Completion of this questionnaire is extremely important to our evaluation process. Please complete the form in its entirety (before your consultation) and send it electronically prior to your consultation. If you mailed it, please be sure to bring a copy with you. If you forget to bring this questionnaire with you to your consultation, you may be required to re-schedule for another time.
Will lab tests be performed on the first appointment? If yes, what should be done to prepare for them such as fasting, staying off of medications, etc.? Lab tests will most likely be performed after your consultation if you become a patient. Please speak with your Patient Services Coordinator at the time of booking your appointment to discuss preparations for your particular visit. In some cases, preparation could involve refraining from thyroid medication the day of your appointment, refraining from eating food, but drinking plenty of water. For an afternoon appointment, sometimes only eating dry toast or crackers with skim milk and drinking plenty of water. In rare cases, lab tests may be delayed on day of appointment.
Is a referral from another physician necessary? No, in most cases, FFC's services are self-paid and do not require insurance approval. If you would like to submit some of the services in case your insurance carrier will cover them (this is often the case with lab work and prescriptions) if your insurance carrier requires a referral, you may download our referral form, have it completed and faxed to our Treatment Center prior to your appointment.
What if rescheduling is necessary? Please notify the Treatment Center at least 48 hours in advance should you need to reschedule an appointment.
Is payment expected at the first visit? Payment is expected once you become a patient at Fibromyalgia & Fatigue Centers through our Road to Wellness Package. We will provide you with a completed billing statement for submission to your health insurance company, should they provide coverage for any part of your treatment.
If supplements are suggested as part of the individualized maintenance plan, where can they be purchased? Supplements are usually an important and necessary part of the individualized maintenance plan and can be acquired in various ways:
- Order on-line at www.fibroandfatigue.com/store.
- Call toll-free 1-866-367-2343.
- Call the Treatment Center you visit.
On the day of your complimentary consultation (your first appointment):
- Allow a minimum of 1 hour with our physician and Program Manager, plus additional time for clinical education from your Case Manager. You will also need to allow for time for lab work and if you decide to become a Road to Wellness patient, for receiving necessary therapies, as prescribed by your physician.
