Fee Structure

Option A – Pay as you go
With option A you pay as you go. The rate is $40 for every 15 minutes. The first appointment is usually 1-1.5 hours and averages $200. Follow up appointments are 15-45 minutes and average about $80. This works well for patients that do not need frequent visits. Usually they come in 2-3 times a year and spend less than $500 dollars a year.
Option B – Wellness Recovery Member
Option B is new and was created for patients that need more frequent visits. Patients become a Wellness Recovery Member. The first visit is $170, then you pay a monthly fee of $70 dollars which allows for up to 2 short visits a month to discuss everything from medical visits to progress with lifestyle changes.

Insurance and Billing

Because Michigan does not license Naturopathic Doctors insurance providers are not obligated to cover our services. Fortunately if your employer offers Health Saving Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), we can use those as forms of payment. Also, some insurances reach out to Dr. Morgan because they want to provide naturopathic medicine to their clients. Dr. Morgan is in network with NOVA Pathfinder. For more information about NOVA Pathfinder Insurance please read NOVA Pathfinder Media Insert.

Forms of Payment

Our office is on a fee-for-service basis. Payment is expected in full at the time of each visit. As stated earlier in this letter, our office does not accept insurance. Forms of payment are HSA/FSA, cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. An Easy Pay Consent Form is available for download via our web site. If you have any questions concerning our office payment policy, please do not hesitate to speak to a staff member.

Your Privacy

We understand the importance of privacy and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your medical information. We make a record of the medical care we provide and may receive such records from others.
