At your first appointment at Bastyr center, you will be asked to complete a patient information form and health history. It is helpful if you bring along copies of previous tests, lab results and the names of any medications or natural supplements you are currently taking. You can also save time by bringing the completed forms with you on your first visit. (Download free Adobe Reader software.) Download and print the PDF documents below.

You will need to bring your insurance information with you at the time of your appointment. If you’re unsure about your coverage of complementary and alternative medical care, contact your insurance plan prior to your appointment. For patients not utilizing insurance, we do require payment at the time of treatment. We accept cash, checks, debit cards, Visa and Mastercard. We also offer discounts for cash payment at the time of treatment.

Our Income Based Adjustment responds to the needs of those patients whose financial status makes it difficult to afford our regular fees. To determine whether you qualify for the plan (you must meet certain income and family-size requirements), call 206.834.4101 or fill out an application at your first appointment.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. Initial appointments vary according to whether you are seeing a team in naturopathic care, homeopathic medicine, nutrition or acupuncture. Typically, first appointments last 1 to 1 1/2 hours, during which time the clinician team formulates a diagnosis and treatment plan that is best for you. Most appointments will include a verbal interview in addition to a routine check of your vital signs, as well as other exams appropriate to your symptoms or concerns. We encourage you to become an active partner in your own health care — to ask questions, discuss issues and take part in the decisions about your treatment.

If you have an appointment for physical medicine services, we suggest you call beforehand (206.834.4101) to plan appropriately. Various treatments, such as peat baths, hydrotherapy or soft-tissue manipulation may require a change of clothing, etc.
