You will need to bring your insurance information with you at the time of your appointment. If you’re unsure about your coverage for complementary and alternative medical care, contact your insurance plan prior to your appointment (see list below).
Vashon Natural Medicine is contracted as a preferred provider with most insurance companies — Regence, Premera, Aetna, First Choice, Cigna, and Uniform. We bill other insurance plans as a courtesy; however, it is the patient’s responsibility to verify their coverage for Naturopathic care.
Please check with your plan to confirm coverage before your appointment. Not sure about your insurance benefits at Vashon Natural Medicine? To determine your Naturopathic medical coverage, find your insurance company and follow the prompts to determine your individual benefits. Or call your plan directly:
On March 1, 2000, the Every Category of Provider law went into effect in Washington state, requiring all private insurance companies to provide a benefit for every category of health care provider. This includes Naturopathic medicine and acupuncture but does not dictate what the benefit must be. The law does not apply to insurance companies that are not privately funded, such as Medicare, Medicaid, the Washington Basic Health Plan and self-funded plans. Out-of-state medical plans are not required to follow this law.
Naturopathic medicine is NOT covered by Medicare or Medicaid. We do have reduced rates for seniors and will bill secondary insurance plans if possible. Vashon Natural Medicine can not bill supplemental insurance plans. If you have questions about your coverage, please contact your insurance plan.
For patients not utilizing insurance, we require payment at the time of treatment. Vashon Natural Medicine accepts cash, checks, debit cards, Visa and MasterCard.
