Insurance
Dr. Lawler is credentialed with multiple insurance companies including Regence, Premera BlueCross, BlueShield and First Choice plans. Keep in mind that all insurance companies are different in what is a covered benefit and the number of visits that your individual plan covers. It is always a good idea to call your insurance provider and check whether naturopathic and/or acupuncture services are covered on your plan. We will attempt to check benefits, but if the office is busy, this may not occur on the day of your visit.
Running Late
Every attempt is made to run on time for appointments. However, there are precious moments in patient care when the conversation and exchange between provider and patient is at a critical timepoint. Part of my promise to my patients is to hear and be present, I honor those moments when a little extra time is called for. Please know that if there comes a time where you need the same attention, you will receive the same care, and practice patience when you are the one waiting an additional few minutes for your appointment to start.
