Administrative/Clinic Info
Medical Insurance Information
One thing I can't say enough to our clients is: "Please check your benefits!" It is not the clinic's responsibility to know your benefits. It is very important that you contact your insurance agent and ask them the following questions:
- Do I have benefits for naturopathic services?
- Do I have benefits for massage and chiropractic services?
- Do I have limitation of services?
- What physicians are contracted?
- What hospitals and labs are contracted?
- Do I have out of network benefits to see a physician outside the network?
Our clinic does not do any lab billing and therefore we are not knowledgable of the pricing of the tests we run. If you would like to know the prices of tests before having your blood drawn, please specify this at your appointment and we will make a call for you to obtain that information. The laboratories we work with are: Evergreen Hospital, Northwest Hospital, PAML.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm.

We cannot guarantee your benefits until we have processed your visit claims. We do not accept primary/secondary insurance, if that is what you have, you will be responsible to pay up front for the services you receive here or bill the secondary insurance yourself, we will give you a fee slip that you can send it to your insurance company. This does not guarantee reimbursement by your insurance company. Medicare does not cover any of our services. If we are not specifically contracted with your insurance company, you may ask them if you have benefits for out of network naturopathic care. Also, remember that some insurance companies may put limitations on how often you can receive naturopathic or osteopathic care.

What is your emergency procedure?
If you have a medical emergency, you need to call 911. If you are a patient here and have a health concern that can’t wait until your next appointment time, you may call our answering service at 425-697-6112 and have the physician on-call to be paged. There is an additional $65 dollar charge for this service.
How does your scheduling work?
First office visits are usually about an hour long, the soonest available for this would be one month. Return visits are usually about 30 minutes long, the soonest available for this would be 2 weeks. Emergencies are scheduled within 1-2 days depending on severity. Due to time constraints we require that our patients arrive to their appointment on time. If a patient is 15 minutes late, we will need to reschedule that appointment. If you are a regular client here and require multiple visits, please book your appointments in advance to ensure a time slot.
What do I need to know before my first visit?
When coming in for your first visit, you will need to bring in copies of your medical records, as well as lab results performed within the last 6 months. It would be helpful if you could come in 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork, or download it from our website and bring it in already filled out. Be sure to bring in your insurance card, if you do not have proof of insurance at the time of your visit, we will have to bill you personally.
