Getting Started Is Simple
Schedule Your Appointment
Schedule online or call our office. Appointment options vary by service, and some services may require a consultation. New patients seeking care for musculoskeletal concerns or pain, including therapies, should select the New Patient Chiropractic Exam. New functional medicine patients should select the New Patient Functional Medicine Exam. Our team can help you choose.
Prepare for Your Visit
Please bring a photo ID and your insurance card or cards. A current medication and supplement list is helpful, as are recent imaging reports or laboratory results you can make available. You do not need to obtain new imaging or laboratory tests simply to schedule.
Meet With Your Clinician
Your initial visit may include a health history, an examination, a discussion of your goals, and recommendations for next steps. Services and treatment recommendations depend on your individual assessment.
Understanding Insurance & Payment
We are preferred providers for Premera Blue Cross and see Aetna and VA Community Care patients. We accept most major insurance plans, as well as workers’ compensation and auto accident cases. Participation, authorization, and coverage vary by plan and service, so please contact our office to confirm the details before your visit. Our team can assist with routine claim submission and billing questions.
Copay: A fixed amount your plan requires for certain covered services.
Deductible: The amount you may need to pay for covered services before your plan begins paying according to its terms.

Financial Policies
Insurance and Your Account
Patients are responsible for understanding their insurance benefits and coverage and for their account balances, subject to applicable insurance agreements and legal requirements.
Payment at Your Visit
Copays, deductibles, and noncovered charges are due at the time of service, as applicable.
Monthly Late Fee
A $10 monthly late fee may apply to an eligible patient-responsible balance more than 90 days after the first patient statement is sent. The fee is waived for patients making payments of at least $100 per month toward their balance. Payer agreements and applicable law govern whether the fee may be charged.
Keep Your Information Current
Please notify our office when your insurance coverage, billing address, or other information needed to process claims accurately changes.
Insurance Payment Window
We submit claims and follow up on outstanding insurance payments. If a claim remains unresolved after 90 days, we will review its status, contact the payer as appropriate, and may ask for your help resolving missing information or other issues. We will bill you only for amounts that are your responsibility under your plan, applicable payer agreements, and law. A pending or denied claim does not automatically become your responsibility because 90 days have passed. Authorized VA Community Care and workers’ compensation claims are handled under their applicable rules.
Appointment Cancellations
A $50 cancellation fee may apply when an appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, subject to applicable payer agreements and law. Please contact our office as soon as possible if you need to change your appointment.
