You will need to bring your insurance information with you at the time of your appointment. If you’re unsure about your coverage of complementary and alternative medical care, contact your insurance plan prior to your appointment.
Vashon Natural Medicine is contracted in the State of Washington as a preferred provider with most insurance
companies — Regence, Premera, Aetna, First
Choice, Cigna, and Uniform. We will also bill other insurance plans as a courtesy;
however, it is the patient’s responsibility to verify their coverage for Naturopathic
care.
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. Please check with your plan to
confirm coverage before your appointment.
For patients not utilizing
insurance, we require payment at the time of treatment. Vashon Natural Medicine accepts cash, checks, debit cards, Visa and MasterCard..
