Good to Know
The details that help
make care clearer.
Questions about current service availability or specific treatment suitability are best discussed directly with the practice.
What is an AGACNP?
An adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner is a specialized provider who cares for adolescents and adults with acute, critical, and complex chronic illnesses or injury. The scope excludes children before puberty and management of pregnancy.
What areas has Jason trained in?
Jason’s training and experience span internal medicine, gerontology, cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, nephrology, neurology, urology, infectious disease, emergency medicine, and critical care, among other areas.
What does complex medical care mean here?
Jason’s experience includes treating the whole person in complicated multi-system disease, with attention to how multiple problems may connect rather than viewing each concern in isolation.
What does functional medicine focus on?
Functional medicine combines evidence-based traditional and alternative medicine while focusing on the why and how of disease in order to identify and address root causes.
What happens at an initial consultation?
An initial consultation begins with a full history and physical, followed by labs, imaging, and/or other diagnostic workup when indicated by the individual case.
Are labs included in the consultation price?
No. Laboratory testing is billed separately. Depending on the complexity of your case, labwork may range from approximately $300 to $2,500. The practice does not add a markup to laboratory charges, so there is no financial incentive to order more testing than your case requires. What we would pay is what you pay. Ongoing laboratory testing may be covered by many Medicare and commercial insurance plans.
Is there a family discount?
Yes. There is a 20% discount for minors ages 11–17 on consultation and membership when a parent is under care.
Are virtual visits available?
Yes — virtual visits are a normal part of ongoing care for established patients.
I live outside Arizona. Can I do a telehealth appointment with Jason?
Jason is licensed in Arizona and registered as an out-of-state telehealth provider in Florida. If you live elsewhere, you're welcome as an in-person patient in Scottsdale — many of our patients travel in. Phoenix Sky Harbor is a straightforward drive, and Scottsdale Airport is closer still for private aviation. Telehealth follow-up is available in Arizona and Florida and may be available in other areas depending on the licensing rules governing where you are located.
Can Jason prescribe controlled substances?
Yes. Jason holds an active DEA registration and an Arizona license, and prescribes controlled substances when clinically appropriate following an adequate evaluation.
What is Low Dose Immunotherapy?
LDI is described as a customizable approach using very small, highly diluted amounts of antigens, with potency and antigen mixtures adjusted according to individual patient needs and chronic immune-mediated conditions.
How do you pronounce “Keable”?
“Keable” is pronounced “cable.”
