3. Does insurance cover the visit?
Our office does not work with insurance companies directly. This is a cash practice. We do encourage our patients to use Med-One Medical services to bill your insurance company for you. If your insurance pays, Med-One will make it happen for you for just $10 per claim. Many insurance companies offer some reimbursement for prevention, but typically provide more reimbursement if you are already in a diseased state. Please contact Med-One directly for insurance related questions: (480)924-5416. Their fax is (480)609-3915. Attached is their contract.
4. What payment type is accepted?
This is a cash practice. We appreciate personal checks. Credit cards are also accepted. Payment is due on the day of the visit or service. There is a $20 bounced check fee.
5. How much should I budget?
There is a premium package which is $800 for the initial visit and $250 per quarter, plus the cost of products and labs. This package covers an annual conference Aug. 16 – 18th 2008, July 19 – 21st 2008, quarterly individual office visits, monthly newsletters and teleconferences, and bi-monthly mentoring telephone calls.
Many patients prefer the discount package which is $90 per hour in 15 minute increments. We set our prices at 10% below suggested retail for most supplements and labs. We will match any price from local health food stores.
6. Do you offer low-income discounts?
We have several patients in the low income category who offer to exchange services. Usually, we can find a way to make a win-win agreement.
7. We welcome referrals!
We appreciate referrals. We typically send two movie passes for new patients that you refer. The only way to grow a business like this is word of mouth. Thank you. Another way you can help us grow our business is by writing a testimonial. We keep a binder of testimonials. It helps others who are considering naturopathic medicine.
8. What is Dr. Doughty’s background?
Naturopathic medicine is a state-licensed profession. It carries with it most of the same education, rights and responsibilities of traditional medical doctors. It requires a 4-year medical degree and a year of residency. Dr. Doughty earned his PhD in Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. He served his residency in “Endocrinology and Naturopathic Medicine” at Arizona Advanced Medicine under Dr. Konrad Kail, former AANP President. Dr. Doughty specializes in holistic treatments of mind and body using a mix of counselling and IV therapy with diet and lifestyle coaching.
9. What is your return policy?
Any product in good condition can be returned within two weeks. Good condition means “seal not broken”, nor baked in a hot car. Unsealed products may NOT be returned. In the event that a product or service causes no effect or an adverse affect, you are still responsible to pay for the product or service.
10. What if I miss my appointment?
We have no fee for missing appointments. Please be considerate and cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance so that we may offer that time slot to other who may be on the waiting list.
