Assurance Healthcare & Counseling Center

Assurance Healthcare charges a flat monthly membership fee of $125 per person. The membership covers unlimited office visits with no copays and no deductibles. Labs, X-rays, and prescription medications pass through to members at cost, with no markup. Sports physicals and DOT physicals are free for members.

No. Assurance Healthcare does not contract with or bill insurance companies or third-party payees. The practice operates entirely on a direct membership model. Many members choose to carry a high-deductible health plan or health-sharing plan alongside their membership for specialist or hospital coverage.

Yes. Members have 24/7 telephone access to the physicians directly. This is not a nurse hotline. You reach the actual doctor, day or night.

Standard appointments run 30 minutes. Members also have access to same-day appointments for illness or injury. The practice does not overbook, so visits focus on the patient, not the clock.

Yes. The practice integrates mental health counseling directly into its model. Membership includes six free in-person counseling sessions per lifetime of membership. After those sessions, additional visits run $50 each. The practice also hosts weekly anxiety and calm workshops, grief groups, and collage art therapy groups.

Yes. Assurance Healthcare works with employer groups across Yakima. Over 60 local businesses offer membership to their employees. Group discounts start with as few as three employees, and some employer plans cover the full membership cost so employees pay nothing out of pocket.

Prospective members can join directly through the practice. Assurance Healthcare welcomes individuals, couples, families, and employer groups. The practice serves both self-pay individuals and those enrolled through an employer group plan.

Yes. Assurance Healthcare offers an elective rotation program for family medicine residents, with rotations lasting one to four weeks. This reflects the practice's commitment to the future of primary care in the Yakima region.
