Thank you for your interest in speaking with Dr. Cate!
Dr. Cate is an old-fashioned family medicine doctor with 20 years of clinical experience who also has extensive expertise in how diet affects your health. She has recently started offering a limited number of virtual appointments (by Google Meet video or phone) to folks. Outside the state of FL, these appointments are not legally considered medical care. Inside the state of Florida, she can manage blood tests, Xrays, and prescriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will the appointment take place?
Dr. Cate will send a Google Meet link prior to the appointment. If you do not want to use video please advise when you make the appointment and she will call you on the phone number provided when you registered.
Dr. Cate will admit you into the room at the time of your appointment.
Are these visits secure and HIPPA Compliant?
Yes, Dr. Cate has a BAA agreement with Google Workspace, which makes her communications HIPPA compliant. For more about google workspace, click here.
Do you offer in-person appointments?
The appointments are telehealth only.
Do you take insurance?
Not at this time.
How do payments occur?
For the five-minute visit, payments are made automatically at the time of scheduling.
For other services, you will receive an invoice after the appointment.
For outside-of-US payments, the best method is mailing a check. Paypal is another method but to use Paypal we need to charge for their fees so you will incur an additional small (5% at the moment) expense.
How To Prepare for the Virtual Visit
Please have the following information available: medications, including dosages, and supplements that you take. If you wish to discuss any blood tests or other test results, please have those available as well. You can mail this information ahead if you prefer.
When sending information, please label the files you send so that she can identify documents easily, including screenshots, images of your supplements, etc. Unlabeled screenshots may not be reviewed. You may fax to 407.316.2807 or email info@DrCate.com
Dr. Cate will review your records during the appointment.
Take notes! Please make sure to take notes on what is important to you. Dr. Cate’s own notes usually include things you already know and not things she already knows.
DISCLAIMER, PLEASE READ
Virtual appointments must remain in compliance with current telehealth laws. During the visit, Dr. Cate will draw on her decades of medical experience and metabolic expertise, offer her opinion and insights on prescription medications, cholesterol levels, other lab tests and provide general information on previously diagnosed conditions and testing that may be done to assess those conditions, but to remain in compliance with telehealth regulations the service she is providing is health coaching. She is unable to assume care as your personal physician, due to state regulations.
INSURANCE:
If you reside in the state of FL and have out-of-network benefits you can submit a paid invoice and may be able to get reimbursed for a portion of the visit expense. Outside of Florida I do not work with insurance, however, you may be able to submit a paid invoice for reimbursement by an HSA or FSA account.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Florida residents:
Dr. Cate is a licensed physician in the state of Florida and as such, she is licensed to provide medical advice to Florida residents for in-person visits or on virtual calls.
Non-Florida residents:
Any information or advice provided by Dr. Cate on a virtual call is considered health coaching and is not to be interpreted as licensed medical care.
