Records Release and Transfer

Medical records can only be released with your written authorization. You are responsible for obtaining prior records from other physicians and healthcare providers. Please contact those providers directly and arrange for records to be sent ahead of your appointment.

Records may be mailed or faxed to:
The Lamkin Clinic
4001 E. Covell Rd., Ste. 100, Edmond, OK 73034
Fax: (405) 285-4352

Initial Consultation

Your first visit includes a 45-minute medical consultation with Dr. Lamkin. Nutritional therapy and laboratory or diagnostic testing are often integral components of your treatment plan. Lab results are used to design your personal healthcare program and to identify the root causes of your condition.

Many lab tests require an 8-hour fast. You may drink water and should take your regular medications. Avoid coffee, sugary drinks, and food prior to your lab draw. Your out-of-pocket cost for any recommended testing will be reviewed with you before labs are ordered. All final lab results are reviewed with you at your follow-up visit.

Cash-Based Practice

The Lamkin Clinic is a private-pay clinic. We do not contract with any insurance company and do not bill insurance directly for visits and consultations. Payment in full is required at the time of service.

We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. An active credit card on file is required to reserve your appointment.

We will provide a detailed receipt with diagnosis codes for all services. You may submit this to your insurance carrier to seek reimbursement. In most circumstances, insurance can be used for outside laboratory and diagnostic testing ordered during your consultation. You will be informed prior to testing which labs accept insurance and which are private-pay.

Appointment Reservation

All appointments must be reserved with a credit card or prepayment. No charges will be applied unless you miss or cancel an appointment without proper notice.

On the day of your appointment, all charges for consultations and laboratory testing will be itemized and reviewed with you before payment is collected.

Follow-Up Consultations

Follow-up phone consultations will be billed to the credit card on file unless you provide other payment instructions prior to the call. If additional lab kits are sent, applicable fees will be charged to your account.
