Out of network does not necessarily mean no coverage. I have seen great out of network coverage with Aetna. 

Medicare does NOT cover naturopathic doctors.  If you have Medicare as your “primary” regardless of your secondary benefits, your appointment will be “cash” pay. Some Pacific source medicare plans do have naturopathic coverage.  Please know your benefits.  

We do accept HSA payments.

At Mountain Sage Medicine, All visits will be billed for time of service and/or procedures performed during an office visit and in preparation of the visit. Initial visits are usually 60 mins face to face and the bill usually ranges between $250-$300. Follow-up visits are usually 25 minutes  face to face and the bill usually ranges between $130-200.
