Welcome to Rebel Med NW
Pricing Transparency
Rebel Med NW has chosen to structure itself as a hybrid/concierge practice so that we can continue to sustain our clinic operations as a small business, respectfully pay our providers and support staff, and continue to be here as a comprehensive health resource for our community.
Not every insurance company provides benefits for all services as performed by our providers, as insurance focuses on this disease-centric model for healthcare. Rebel Med NW focuses on primary care with a preventative, mind-body, and functional medicine approach to health and wellness. We find that this saves you time and money as a true investment in your health and well-being.
Below you will find insurance information, a list of non-covered procedures, direct pay pricing, and concierge memberships. Please review if your insurance covers the services you are requesting or have been prescribed. If your procedure is not covered by insurance, we provide a transparent pricing structure at a discounted rate for direct-to-patient billing. We also offer discounts for seniors, military, and low-income patients.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Billing Team account in the Patient Portal.
Billing Resources
In Network Insurance & Potential Benefits
Please note that insurance benefits vary from plan to plan. To know for sure, please contact your insurance or visit their website to find out if the below evaluation and procedure codes are covered. Here is a helpful worksheet to use during your research. In addition, an administrative fee will be billed directly to the patient to process the insurance billing and communications.
Administration Fee
In order to take insurance, provide billing-related services, including processing claims, denials, prior-auth, merchant service-related processing costs, insurance benefit checks, provider communication, and labor support to pay our staff fair and equitable wages, we have instituted the following Administrative Fees in addition to any patient responsibilities (copay, co-insurance, deductible, or non-covered procedures) performed and submitted to your insurance carrier. These fees are not covered by insurance and are typically 10-20% of the facility fees at major medical institutions.
- Acupuncture visit standard (60min) $25
- Acupuncture visit Comprehensive (75min) $50
- Physical Medicine Visit $25
- Naturopathic visit Standard (30min) $25
- Naturopathic visit Comprehensive (60min) $50
- Massage visit $25
This admin fee is waived if using a Rebel Med NW Concierge Membership. This administration fee provides you the support services for 1-week post-visit, including communication with your provider regarding your care.
What does the Administration fee cover?
The admin fee covers the cost our office incurs for billing your private insurance plan, as it has become increasingly more expensive to bill insurance, and the costs incurred for claim submission, re-submission, billing fees, prior-auth time, and merchant processing fees for payment collection.
Does insurance cover this fee?
No, This fee is to sustain the operational support it takes to be able to even bill insurance in the first place. As a small business primary care facility, we agree that patients want to use their insurance where possible for medically necessary services, but due to insurance reimbursement rates not rising in the last 10 years, we have to pass some of this operational cost on to be able to sustain operations, while still being able to accept some of the insurance-based care. Consider the Rebel Med NW Membership for added benefits at our office.

Billing In-Network
Private or Public Health Insurance
While we make every effort to support billing your health insurance for your benefit, we have found as an integrative medical clinic, not all services will be deemed medically necessary by your health insurance carrier, either because they don’t offer benefits, or they have chosen to provide limited benefits for services. In some cases, an insurance company can remove a payment over a year later after it was initially paid because they will determine a service not to be covered.
In order to optimize your awareness of the cost of medical care, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification in order to support your financial health & well-being. Our pricing structure is here to benefit your awareness and allow our providers and support team to be paid a living wage in Seattle.
The following policies will apply if your insurance company denies services, or later removes coverage after initial payment for services:
- We will decrease the cost of the denied service to our direct pricing rate for that service. Typically 15% discount from the full fee submitted to insurance.
- We will offer a package rate if multiple of the same services are performed, and are later determined to be denied or benefits exhausted (acupuncture, massage, spinal manipulation, biofeedback)
- You will be informed prior to receiving a non-covered service of the direct pricing rate for that procedure. Not all insurance plans provide full comprehensive coverage for the providers’ full scope of practice.
Billing Out-Of-Network Health Insurance
Or No Naturopathic or Acupuncture Coverage
A superbill (invoiced list of services) will be provided to you along with a receipt for services, that can be used for reimbursement from your health insurance carrier if they offer out-of-network benefits, or for use with FSA/HSA-based funding.
Our services would be billed at our direct pricing rates, packages, or use of our concierge membership program.
