Billing & Fees

In Network Insurance*

We are In-Network with the following Insurance Plans:

  • Aetna

  • Ambetter / Coordinated Care

  • Blue Cross/Blue Shield

  • First Choice Health Network

*Dr. Sullivan has active contracts with all of the above insurance payers through the clinic his practice was previously based. Appropriate documentation has been completed to establish and maintain active in-network contracts here at AceMed. We expect most if not all of the insurance companies to back date visits between now and the approval date. If this does not occur, patient visits will be billed as time of service according to our cash based non-insurance fee schedule.

Copays

While preventive exams (also known as annual visits) are generally covered in full, most other visits will result in a partial payment from your health plan and a partial payment from you. We'll collect a credit card to hold on file for your account. Once your insurance has paid, you will receive a notification by email that the payment will be collected in 5 days. You'll receive another notification when the payment occurs and will also receive a receipt by email as well.

Many insurances offer reimbursement for the cost of office visits or procedures even if the physician is not directly in network through a contract. You can learn more about this process here.

Non Covered Facility Fee

  • Kaiser PPO, Options plans

  • Lifewise

  • Premera Blue Cross

  • Regence Blue Shield

Copays are due prior to your visit or procedure. Please confirm the correct amount for your current insurance plan. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will charge your copay to the card on file.

Coinsurance & Deductibles

Out of Network Insurance

AceMed Seattle has joined a movement among small practices intended to protect our way of providing care. We have instituted a Non-Covered Services Fee for all patients in the practice as of January 1, 2025. This out-of-pocket monthly or per-visit fee helps cover the cost of administrative and care coordination services we provide that unfortunately are NOT covered by your insurance. This is a hybrid approach, as we WILL continue to bill insurance as we always have for the health care services that they cover and have instituted the Non-Covered Services fee only for services they won't. Learn more about it here.
