An advertised cash price cannot tell you what your insurance pays. Start with the kind of visit and the clinician's details.
Ask about the consultation first
Ask your insurance company whether it pays for this clinician and this kind of visit. Ask the care service whether it bills your insurance or expects you to pay directly.

Carry this with you
Ask the care service what it charges for the visit and any treatment. Ask the insurance company which charges it will cover. If using a medical savings account, ask the company managing it about each charge.

The FDA review concerns whether MOTS-c is an approved medicine. It does not say whether your insurance will pay for a visit.
The tax guidance distinguishes medical care from spending just for general health. Ask the company managing your account about your particular charge.
