Insurance often
covers our services
Insurance plans are increasingly offering coverage of naturopathic medicine. This is both insurer and plan dependent. Coverage often ranges from 70-100% of services. Verification of coverage by calling the phone number on your insurance card is recommended. Or, you can also call our office and we will verify coverage for you.
For all consultations, payment is expected at time of service.
While insurance may cover naturopathic care, we do not process insurance billing in our office. Instead, you are directly reimbursed by your insurer for costs as agreed upon in your policy. As a service to you, we have created a reimbursement form to submit to your insurance company. This form is filled out by our staff in our office and mailed directly to your insurer. Insurance reimbursement will go directly to you. Again, if you do not know if naturopathic medicine is covered, you can call your insurer or call our office and we will check for you. We are happy to work with you to ensure maximal reimbursement. As a policy, we refuse to compromise your care to fit insurance guidelines. We will, however, do our utmost to get you reimbursed for services provided.
Cancellation Policy
We require a 24-hour notice for cancellation of an appointment. Unless we receive 24 hour notice, we will charge you a $25.00 fee. We realize that a day’s notice may not always be possible, therefore we allow for one “grace” cancellation at no charge.
Laboratory Policy
Laboratory work ordered in our office is often covered by insurance. If there is any question regarding coverage, we will verify it with your insurer. For our local patients, our provider is OML laboratories. Our non-local patients can obtain laboratory work from Quest, which is our national provider. Both Quest and OML will bill your insurance company for you. For our patients without insurance, payment for laboratory services directly to our office allows for a discount on labs. This discount can also be extended to patients who know their insurance will not cover their lab fees. (Please note: In the state of Oregon it is not legal for a physician to profit from labs ordered. All laboratory fees in our office are billed at cost.)
Supplements
Supplement purchases are separate from fees for services. Payment for supplements is expected at time of purchase. While reimbursement for supplement costs by your insurer is rare, it does exist. The receipt you receive from our office provides a description of each item with its cost.
