We will bill your insurance company for the service(s) you receive, however insurance does not always cover 100% of the office visit charges. You are responsible for copays, co-insurance, deductibles and non-covered charges. Please let us know if you have any secondary insurance.

For out of network plans, you will pay at the time of service (see Visit Fees below). Many insurance companies will reimburse you for some portion of the cost for you to see out-of-network providers depending on your plan. If your plan does have out-of-network benefits (OON), we proudly partner with Reimbursify so that you can easily submit your medical bills for reimbursement.

Questions to ask your insurer

Your insurance plan is an agreement between you and your insurance company so we are unable to guarantee if your plan covers naturopathic care, and coverage varies from one policy to another. We do not have the capacity to verify insurance benefits for all patients at this time. We kindly ask that you take some time to understand your insurance coverage/benefits and contact your insurance company by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. You will want to ask the following questions:

Does my plan cover visits with a Naturopathic Doctor?
Do I have an annual deductible? Have I met my deductible? Or how much of my deductible is remaining?
What is my copay/co-insurance for visits with a Naturopathic Doctor?

Visit fees

If we are not billing to insurance and you are paying out-of-pocket for your services, the cost of your visit is based on the time spent during the visit and complexity of your case which is determined by the provider.

First office visits

$250–$350

Follow-up visits

$150–$275

15%

We are pleased to offer a 15% courtesy discount for all patients paying out-of-pocket for their visits, if paid at the time of service.

Quick Questions call

We will bill based on the time spent.

10-20 min calls$75
21-30 min calls$105
31-40+ min calls$150+

Unfortunately, the 15% time of service discount DOES NOT apply to phone calls as they are already discounted compared to the regular follow-up visit fees.

We accept payment via

FSA/HSA cards
debit cards
credit cardVisa, Mastercard or AMEX

Cancellation & rescheduling policy

$200Missed appointments or no-shows
$100Canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 business hours' notice

We charge a $200 fee for appointments that are missed or result in a no-show, and a $100 fee for those canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 business hours' notice before the scheduled appointment time.

Please note that these fees are not eligible for insurance billing.

Late cancellations or rescheduling can inconvenience not only the provider but also other patients who might be in need of timely care. Enforcing fees helps us encourage patients to be mindful of their appointments and respectful of both the provider's time and the needs of fellow patients.

Introductory 15-minute phone consultations are complimentary and exempt from any late cancellation or no-show charges.

Supplements

Supplement recommendations can be purchased through Fullscript, an online supplement dispensary with physician-grade supplements. Supplements are an extra cost and are not included in the visit fees and not covered by insurance. Supplements are tax-free when prescribed by a physician. You may use your HSA/FSA cards to pay for your supplements.

Labs

Many conventional and specialty labs can be billed to your insurance provider even if they do not cover office visits with a naturopathic doctor. Insurance coverage for labs is dependent on the contract between your insurance company and the lab, not with the ordering provider. We try our best to provide an estimate of what you may expect to pay for certain lab tests. If you have questions about coverage for lab services, you can speak to your insurance company about what you can expect for costs. Out of pocket costs for labs can be paid through HSA/MSA/Flex Plans when not covered.
