Health insurance and financial assistance

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. For patients without insurance, or whose insurance excludes coverage of Bastyr Center services, we do require payment at the time of treatment. We accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa and Mastercard. We also offer discounts for cash payment at the time of treatment.

Our Income Based Adjustment responds to the needs of those patients whose financial status makes it difficult to afford our regular fees. To determine whether you qualify for the plan (you must meet certain income and family-size requirements), visit our special rates page, call 206.834.4100 or fill out an application at your first appointment.

Please note: In some instances, your insurance will cover all services. In the event that services are not covered by your insurance, you are responsible for paying any and all charges.

Please plan to arrive 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Initial appointments vary according to whether you are seeing a team in naturopathic care, homeopathic medicine, nutrition or acupuncture. Typically, first appointments last 1 to 1 1/2 hours, during which time the clinician team formulates a diagnosis and treatment plan that is best for you. Most appointments will include a verbal interview in addition to a routine check of your vital signs, as well as other exams appropriate to your symptoms or concerns. We encourage you to become an active partner in your own health care — to ask questions, discuss issues and take part in the decisions about your treatment.

Please note that various treatments, such as peat baths, hydrotherapy or soft-tissue manipulation may require a change of clothing, etc.
