There is a wide variety of coverage for naturopathic physicians.  This varies by company and by plan and it is important that you understand your benefits.  Some insurance plans obtained through the health market place require that your primary care physician be at an assigned facility, which will affect your coverage. 

 

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

It’s essential that you confirm your insurance coverage directly with your insurance company. This ensures that there are no surprises or complications when it comes to billing and payment for your visit. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

1. Contact your insurance company: Give them a call to confirm that you can be seen at our clinic and that the services we provide are covered under your plan.

2. Specify the provider you’ll be seeing: When you speak with your insurance representative, make sure to mention the specific provider you’ll be seeing at our clinic. You’ll also need to provide them with the National Provider Identifier (NPI) of that provider. The NPI is a unique identifier assigned to healthcare providers, and it helps the insurance company accurately verify coverage.

  • Meaghan Cook, ND | NPI: 156-889-9508
  • Jessie Edwards, FNP-BC | NPI: 182-129-3085
  • Jennifer Samson, ND | NPI: 163-973-3801

3. Confirm coverage: Ask your insurance company if the services provided by the provider you’ve chosen are covered under your plan. This will help you understand any potential out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.

By taking these steps, you’ll ensure a smoother experience during your visit to our clinic, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your insurance coverage is confirmed in advance.

If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please consider using our  VERIFICATION WORKSHEET

And don’t hesitate to reach out to our clinic staff! We’re here to help you every step of the way.

 

OREGON HEALTH PLANS (Medicaid) 

Our clinic is a primary care home for Health Share Care Oregon patients. We are accepting new patients of all ages.

Some Oregon Health Plans require a referral from your assigned primary care provider in order to be seen. Generally our providers are only able to provide naturopathic consultations and specialty care.

Plans:

  • Tuality OHP
  • OHSU OHP
  • Care Oregon- OHSU
  • Care Oregon- Legacy

 

MEDICARE

Medicare offered through the federal government does not cover naturopathic physicians. This includes additional plans offered through Medicare itself.  However, there are Medicare Advantage plans offered through private insurance companies that do offer naturopathic coverage.  To determine your coverage, please contact your insurance coverage.  

UNINSURED

For those who do not have insurance or have no naturopathic coverage, we offer a 25% discount off of all provider service charges.

OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS

It is important for you to understand your health insurance. If you would like to understand more about how health insurance works, see HERE. For some common insurance issues we have encountered, see HERE. There are some plans that are in-network but your plan is set to apply all costs of care to your deductible and only provide coverage once the deductible is met. This is most often seen with BRONZE or HSA plans. If you have one of these plans, you can estimate your out-of-pocket costs below:

While every visit is billed based on the individual care provided, below is an approximation of your base appointment cost. Please confirm these estimates before scheduling your first appointment, as costs below may not reflect recent increases. Also, please be aware these cost estimates do not factor in potential additional costs from labs, questionnaires, etc. Please make sure to discuss the full range of likely costs with someone at Northwest Integrative Medicine before scheduling your first appointment:

New Patient Appointments (establishing care)

New Visits: $220 – $433
With 25% discount: $165 – $325

Established Patient Appointments (follow-up visits)

Established Patients: $179 – $354

Wellness Visits (preventive visits like well-child & annuals)

Wellness Visits: New Patient $250 – $340
With 25% discount: $188 – $254

Labs

The out-of-pocket costs for labs are highly dependent on the lab and the test. Please discuss your options with your provider for ways to reduce the cost of your labs.

The above costs do not include procedure fees such as questionnaire screenings, in-office labs, office procedures, IV therapy, injections, osteopathic manipulations, bodywork, hydrotherapy, or the cost of any medications used in a visit or supplements prescribed following a visit. As a result, they are not a complete estimate of the likely cost for a visit.
