What insurance plans do you take?
A list of accepted plans is posted on our Insurance page.
Are there fees to pay up front?
If you have an active, verified insurance plan on your account, a co-pay will be collected based on your plan benefits (if applicable).
Self-pay (where no insurance is billed) requires a $100 deposit.
If you are a new patient using On-Demand for the first time or if you are entering new insurance information, a $100 deposit may be required if we are not able to electronically verify your coverage during e-Check In. A refund can be issued after insurance verification is complete. Please call the Patient Accounts Department at (360) 318-9705 for assistance. Once your verified insurance is added to your account, a $100 deposit will not be required for future On-Demand visits. Instead, a co-pay will be collected based on your plan benefits (if applicable).
