Insurance

As a service to our patients, we bill primary and secondary insurance when possible. When you call for your appointment, we will enter your insurance information into our system. We require a copy of your insurance card at the time of your appointment. Please check your deductible and coverage for our services prior to your first visit.

If you are seeing a Naturopath, please call your insurance company to see if this provider type is covered by your specific plan. Even if you have Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Moda, United Healthcare or Cigna, you must verify that your plan covers a Naturopathic provider.

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Moda, United Healthcare and Cigna. However, please note that we do not bill Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or UMR.

If you agree with our payment terms and conditions, Avante requires payment of your co-pay and any outstanding deductibles at the time of service and we will then bill insurance. Otherwise, you will be responsible for paying in full at the time of service and we will bill insurance as a courtesy. If you have any questions regarding our terms and conditions, please contact our office and we will be happy to discuss them with you.

If we have not received payment from the insurance company within 60 days of the date of service, you will be responsible for the balance regardless of the insurance status. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Moda, United Healthcare and Cigna patients are assessed on a case-by-case basis for balances that exceed 60 days.

If you are covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Moda, United Healthcare or Cigna, you may desire labs or procedures that are considered not medically necessary or are non-covered services by your insurance plan. In these cases, you fill out a form prior to the service that indicates you are requesting a non-covered service and are financially responsible for the cost of the services regardless of denial from your insurance plan.
