First Office Visit Information - Dr. Corina Going, ND

Thank you for considering Dr Going’s naturopathic care for your health care needs.

Dr. Going is accepting new patients in her new location of Cathlamet. In Tacoma, she is currently only accepting new patients who have been referred by other providers or family members.

If you would like to schedule a first office visit, please call Claire at (619) 685-9767.

Here are a few things you should know before coming to your first appointment with Dr Going:

Medical Insurance

Dr Going accepts some medical insurance plans and patients who wish to pay private/cash. Please be aware that you are responsible to know your own insurance coverage. Dr. Going does not accept patients with Tricare or Molina. Please check with your insurance company before your visit to find out your benefits for naturopathic care, including the amount covered, the number of visits covered, and whether Dr. Going is a covered provider with your plan. Please be aware of any copay and deductible for which you are responsible. Your copay and payment for any supplements or remedies that Dr. Going may prescribe are due at the time of the office visit. Full payment is due at the time of service if we are not billing insurance. You are responsible for all charges that are not covered by your insurance.

If you do not have medical insurance that covers naturopathic care, please phone our office for our cash rates.

Cancellations

We understand that circumstances do occur making it difficult to keep appointments, however, we ask you to notify us at least 48 hours in advance if you cannot keep an appointment. We charge a missed appointment or a cancellation less than 48 hours in advance at half the regular visit rate and we charge the full amount for a no-show or a cancellation less than 24 hours in advance. Thank you for your understanding and patience with our decision to take credit card numbers to hold a new patient appointment. New patient no-shows and late cancellations were creating an unfair situation for other new patients who were waiting up to 2 months for an appointment. Unavoidable emergencies are considered exceptions to this policy.

Prescriptions and Records

Please bring bottles of any supplements you are currently taking so Dr Going can see the ingredients and any pertinent medical records of lab work you have had done in the last year.

Dr Going’s license is limited to patients in Washington state.
