Payment Model
If fast access, affordability, and great communication are what you want from a doctor, then you’re in the right place. Are you tired of waiting months to see a doctor or having trouble finding one in the first place? Dr. Rikoon can schedule you within the week either in-person, virtually, or she can come directly to your home. Access to care should be as easy as 1, 2, 3 and you deserve a doctor who is on your team. Instead of charging expensive annual fees and astronomical hourly rates, Dr. Rikoon’s cash prices are fair and economical.
Dr. Rikoon’s practice is cash only, however, she is offering affordable prices for patients who are enrolled in Medicaid to make her care more accessible. Access to care is extremely important to Dr. Rikoon, which is why she is offering a sliding scale tiered model to give options for fees instead of a fixed rate for all.
*Please note, Dr. Rikoon is not currently in-network with any insurance companies and does not submit medical claims to insurance at this time.
Sliding Scale Information and Pricing
There are many barriers that exist to accessing healthcare. This causes the roots of inequity in our society to deepen. Dr. Rikoon believes that all people deserve access to Naturopathic medicine and has chosen to integrate this payment model in order to reduce barriers to care.
The sliding scale tiers are based on your personal life circumstances other than just your income. Thank you for being honest.
Payment is due at time of service in cash, check, or credit card.
Labs and imaging ordered by Dr. Rikoon may be covered by your insurance company, please call your insurance carrier directly to learn what labs and imaging centers are in-network (cash pay labs and imaging are available through Quest Labs and Santa Fe Imaging Center).
Please add a $50 travel fee to the cost of visit for any home visits in the Santa Fe, NM area.
