Frequently asked questions
Yes, both Dr. Bowen & Dr. Tieu can still see you for educational consultations, or for getting a second opinion on your case. They cannot, however, fully treat or diagnose you within their full scope of practice and cannot provide coded bills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement for the consultations.
No, Bothell Natural Health isn’t currently contracted with any insurance companies at this time and does not plan on becoming contracted with them in the future. Insurance usage for services doesn’t allow our Doctors to do the testing or recommend the treatments that Dr. Bowen or Dr. Tieu believe are necessary to help you reclaim your health. That being said, patients who wish to pursue out-of-network insurance reimbursement may request a coded bill at the time of your appointment (available for WA patients only). Insurance may be used for some laboratory expenses.
- Extended First visit: if you have had a longer and more detailed health condition or conditions and need more time to review labs from outside providers with Dr. Bowen at your first visit.
- Extended Follow up: if you have more than one lab test to review with Dr. Bowen. The 3-day stool test report can take 45 minutes to review and that may not be the only lab result we are hoping to review during a follow-up visit.
Straightforward condition: at least 3 months to experience a significant health transformation for one non-complex condition.
More complex conditions: more than 3 months but generally will experience health improvement in the first 3 months.
Longer term health relationships: If you take any medications prescribed by Dr. Bowen, by law you are required to have at least one annual visit. If you are taking thyroid or immune treatments, you may need to have 2 visits per year, one for lab ordering and one for lab review and plan refinement.
No. 1:1 care is a separate service and only the 12-week programs will have a weekly group Q and A that Dr. Bowen may engage in. Programs aren’t meant to be a substitute for 1:1 care
