Healthcare Pricing - A New Model
Winthrop Natural Medicine is a nonprofit clinic that centers patients over profit.
Membership
Fee for Service
We charge $150 per hour for all appointments and treatments. Acupuncture and other treatments where the appointment may be overlapping with the next patient are charged only for the amount of time spent with your practitioner, not the total length of the treatment.
Insurance and HSAs
We are out-of-network for all insurance payers but are happy to provide you with a superbill so you can seek reimbursement yourself. You are responsible for finding out if your plan covers out-of-network acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment. Please make sure to inform us if you need a superbill prior to your appointment.
We gladly accept all Health Savings Account (HSA) cards as payment.
Why Membership
Health can’t be achieved in a single visit to a doctor’s office. Health is something you do for yourself over time and occurs naturally when you have the support and resources that are right for you. Health is dynamic – what you need to achieve and maintain health varies from month-to-month, year-to-year, and throughout the seasons of your life.
Too often, modern health care often fails to address this. That’s why we’re doing something different.
We offer relationship-centered, membership-based health care that honors your commitment to health over time. As a member of Winthrop Natural Medicine, you make a regular, monthly payment that ensures you have the care you need, when you need it.
Each membership tier includes an approximate number of monthly visits and treatments like acupuncture. This helps you regularly check in on how you’re doing over time, with someone who knows you and who you know and trust.
But the real beauty of the membership rests in its flexibility, and the true value is how it helps you face the unexpected. As a member, when illness or injury arise, you face a flare-up in symptoms, or have a life crisis, you don’t pay more to get more help. The membership is here to help you weather the storms of life. When you need more support, simply come in for a visit or treatment – at no extra fee.
By supporting our non-profit clinic as a member, we support you when you need help most.
