FAQs

Questions about switching from Function Health

Is Catalyst a Function Health alternative?

Yes, for people who want testing plus an ongoing physician relationship. Catalyst includes at home lab draws, a dedicated doctor, treatment and quarterly retesting in one membership.

Can I bring my Function Health results to Catalyst?

Yes. Members can bring their Function Health results and your physician will review them as part of your care. If you'd like a one time lab analysis instead of a membership, we typically run our own comprehensive blood panel drawn at your home, but you're welcome to bring your Function Health results instead.

Does Catalyst take insurance?

No. Most members pay with HSA or FSA funds and we provide itemized receipts.

Where is Catalyst located?

240 W 37th St, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10018. Labs are drawn at your home or office.
