Insurance at Latitude: the two-part answer
“Accepts most insurance” and “insurance won’t cover the program fee” are both true. Families deserve both sentences upfront.
Two-part answer, both parts true. Visits and diagnostics: generally billable — Latitude is in-network with major insurers in each region it operates (Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and others; the exact list varies between Northern California, Southern California and New York). The OIT program fee: explicitly a non-covered service — patient-reported at $4,000–$5,000+ — with payment plans and FSA/HSA eligibility offered. The frustration in public threads comes precisely from hearing the first part and meeting the second late. This split is the industry’s shape, not Latitude’s invention: program fees are out-of-pocket essentially everywhere. Curex competes with Latitude.

The other half
What stays out-of-pocket, everywhere
- The program fee. Non-covered by Latitude’s own description; patient-reported $4,000–$5,000+; payment plans and FSA/HSA offered.
- The same fee, elsewhere. FAI’s subscription is out-of-pocket by design; compounded at-home treatment is out-of-pocket by regulation. This is the market’s shape.
- The fix, everywhere. All-in written figure, billing codes to your insurer, maintenance costs asked upfront — at every provider, including us.
Disclosure
Where we stand
Curex competes in this market — we run the only fully at-home food allergy program — so read this page as a competitor’s honest summary of the public record and verify against the sources.
Curex is the only fully at-home food allergy program. Testing is done through local labs, at-home phlebotomy, or self-collection kits; doctors see patients via video visit or text message; and Allergychoices pharmacy ships the prescription treatment directly to the patient. The treatment is more gentle and generally a bit slower, but it has a much higher graduation rate because patients don’t drop out from negative side effects — and patients can generally save more than $10,000 over the course of treatment.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
Per its own FAQ, by region: Northern California — Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, Health Net, UnitedHealthcare and select HMOs; New York — Aetna, Anthem, Empire Blue Cross, Cigna, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare; Southern California — Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Cigna, HealthNet, UnitedHealthcare. Lists change; confirm yours with the clinic before relying on this page.
Because US insurers reimburse discrete billable services — visits, procedures, tests — and a proprietary program fee is none of those. This is uniform across the market: clinic programs and at-home programs alike carry a non-reimbursable core. The useful response is not outrage at one clinic but arithmetic at all of them: what exactly is billable, what is not, and what does my plan leave me of the billable part.
Before enrolling: get the program fee for your case in writing; ask for the visit schedule with billing codes and run them past your insurer for a pre-estimate; confirm FSA/HSA eligibility and payment-plan terms; and ask what maintenance bills look like after the active phase. Ten minutes of questions closes the entire gap between the two true sentences.
Same split, smaller uncovered core: testing and consultations often billable, compounded sublingual treatment out-of-pocket — insurance does not reimburse compounded preparations, which are made per-patient from FDA-approved allergenic extracts. Curex runs monthly plans with financing from $79/month on some plans; patients generally save $10,000+ over a course versus in-person programs.
If you experience sudden difficulty breathing, throat swelling, or other signs of anaphylaxis, call 911. A prescribed epinephrine auto-injector is the first-line treatment — not antihistamines.
