Appointments
Details on sessions in general, logistics, fees,
cancellations, insurance, etc., are below.
Scheduling
Please schedule appointments by calling 206-729-6314 or
206-463-7560.
What To
Expect
For your initial session with Allan, please
arrive five to ten minutes early to fill out a short intake
form. At the beginning of the session, he will sit down
with you and go over your history, goals, and concerns.
Next, he'll perform an assessment.
Rolfers work with their clients in their underwear (or a
suitable substitute) so they can not only more easily see
how tension affects your alignment and observe how your
body does or doesn't move, but also to facilitate getting
hands-on to do the work itself. After viewing your body in
standing and in motion, Allan may draw on other modes of
assessment to acquaint himself with your body pattern, and
strategize your session. Then, the work will begin!
Duration
Sessions generally last 60-75 minutes.
Fees
The fee per session is $110 which is due at the time of
service unless there is prior arrangement. Payment may be
made by either check or cash.
Credit cards are not currently accepted.
Cancellation Policy and
Rescheduling
Your time is valuable, so please be on time for your
session. Your appointment is your personal block of time,
and if you are late, it is time lost from your session.
In the event that you need to cancel a session, 24
hours' notice is required in order to allow time
to attempt to fill the empty session. If you do not give
24 hours' notice, you are liable for the full session
fee. Likewise, if Allan cancels without adequate
notice, he will owe you a free session. Exceptions to this
policy will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Unless
the ferries completely mess him up, Allan will be there for
your session!
Intake
form
If you want to streamline your initial session, you can
take a few minutes to fill out this intake form in advance. Please
elaborate on any item answered YES, and reference by
number in the comments section.
Insurance
Any insurance policy that covers massage will cover
Rolfing, because Rolfing is included within WA State's
massage licensure (LMP). Policies can be radically
different — whether there is a co-pay, they cover
only preferred providers, or whether they will cover anyone
that is licensed — so the best thing to do is to
contact your agent and find out what your benefits are.
This insurance benefits form has
questions to ask your insurance provider so that you
gain a clear idea of your benefits and their limits.
Allan is not currently a preferred provider for any of the
companies anymore, but most will simply reimburse you if
you send in the receipt he can provide for services
rendered. That is the way his clients work it, and
reimbursement is pretty wrinkle-free.
Don't
forget that you are ultimately financially responsible for
the balance due for treatment fees after your insurance has
paid its share. It is also important to remember and
understand that
payment for missed appointments is your responsibility
as per the signed cancellation agreement
—
insurance companies will not pay for appointments when
services have not been rendered.
This is also covered in the
insurance agreement.
