Insurance Policy
At this time we are only accepting PREMERA Blue Cross & Lifewise Health Plan of Washington insurance. As new insurance providers are
added we will update this space.
Thank you for your patience.
For those with other insurance carriers:
If you have met your annual deductible or your financial situation demand
that you get reimbursed, please call your insurance carrier to verify:
• That they cover care provided by an "Out of the Network Provider"
• The amount of the annual deductible available for "Out of Network" care
• What, if any, additional forms need to accompany the "superbill" in order for
you to obtain reimbursement.
MEDICARE
The Medicare system is exceptionally complicated, and requires an experienced and dedicated person to navigate it.
If the rules are not followed exactly, the billing physician is exposed to fines, audits, revocation of license and
even incarceration.
As a solo provider, it is a risky proposition for me to divert time away from patient care to try to navigate the
Medicare system at this time.
If you have Medicare, I will be happy to be your physician, but you will be required to sign a contract agreeing
to be personally responsible for all charges incurred for the services provided in this office.
Please bear in mind that:
• The MEDICARE system will not reimburse you for any services provided by our office, neither will any secondary
insurance that you may have in addition to Medicare.
• Secondary insurers usually pay after Medicare, but since I do not bill Medicare for anything done in my office,
they refuse to pay.
Thank You for your understanding. Should our situation change in the future,
amendments will be made to this policy. Meanwhile, contact us with questions.
