Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Manske Mobile Medicine is not insurance. It’s strongly advised that you maintain health insurance to cover labs, imaging, medications, vaccines, surgeries, ED visits, urgent care, specialists, other testing, hospital admissions, and preventive screenings such as mammograms and colonoscopies.
Yes — if you have private or marketplace insurance coverage. You may also be able to use HSA funds toward your care (check with your HSA for specific rules). Request a printed superbill at the time of your visit to submit to your insurance company or HSA.
No — reimbursement isn’t available for Medicare or Medicaid patients. Dr. Simpson-Manske has opted out of both programs, as they don’t cover care outside the corporate medicine structure. This opt-out applies only to her direct visits — Medicare and Medicaid will still cover labs, specialists, imaging, and inpatient care that she orders or refers you for. Medicare and Medicaid patients must sign a waiver acknowledging this before starting care.
No — house calls are the standard for this practice. There’s currently no brick-and-mortar exam room. If an office visit works better for you, that can be arranged with a private meeting place. Telehealth visits may also be offered when appropriate.
Yes — telemedicine is available for follow-ups, medication questions, minor concerns, and triage, especially when weather or ferry schedules make an in-person visit difficult. Not every medical concern is telehealth-appropriate, and new patients are routinely seen in person for their first visit.
Both are direct-pay, with no insurance billing either way. Single-visit pricing means you pay only for the visit you need, with no ongoing commitment. Cypress Care membership offers guaranteed access and continuity, including up to 6 MD visits per 12-month period plus discounts on additional visits, IV hydration, lab draws, and after-hours services.
Up to 6 MD visits per year (in person or telehealth, with at least 1 in-person visit required), discounted pricing on additional visits, IV hydration, lab draws, and after-hours services, unlimited portal messaging on problems currently being managed, and unlimited during-hours phone calls.
Call 911 first. This practice does not manage sudden, life-threatening issues — including broken bones, head trauma, hemorrhage, new seizure, stroke, heart attack, or loss of consciousness. After you call 911, you can call Dr. Simpson-Manske.
