Dr. Layton practices via Telehealth, or video visits. These appointments are booked and billed in the same way as an in person visit.
First visits are one hour long and follow-up visits are 45 minutes to review test results or if we need to address multiple issues, and 30 minutes for shorter issues or to adjust the treatment plan. A link to the secure, HIPAA compliant video visit will be sent along with the appointment confirmation. While Zoom is the platform used for these visits, booking them through the electronic health platform adds a layer of protection not present otherwise.
Book appointment on-line here. You will receive a link to our secure Zoom appointment through this platform. Payment is due at the time of service, and can be made with Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account debit cards, or standard debit/ credit cards. Arrangements can be made for mailing checks on an individual basis.
If you are finding us on the internet and have questions about whether Dr. Layton is the right fit before becoming a new patient, please set a 15 Minute New Patient Consult. These are free consults to assess whether this is the right choice of medicine and practitioner. No treatment advice will be given at these visits.
The fee schedule is as follows:
1 Hour New Patients for adults 18 years and older: $250
Family members (after one person is established) and children age 0-17 years old receive $25 off their first office visit.
Follow-up appointments vary in length, and are billed at $200 per hour.
Testing fees vary by test and are generally due when results are reviewed.
Supplements and refills can be mailed directly by Dr. Layton or through Fullscript or Wellevate, on-line ordering platforms that connect patients with physician-grade nutritional and herbal supports. Contact Dr.Layton directly for supplies you cannot find here, for help establishing an account/ product list with FullScript, or with any questions.

Naturopathic Doctors in Massachusetts are not able to bill insurance. If you have a flexible spending debit card, you may use that for your visit, as well as checks, credit/debit cards and cash. Naturopathic Doctors attained licensure in January of 2017 (Hooray!). The law is still being written, and it will not include requirements for insurance companies to cover Naturopathic care. Feel free to ask your insurance company if they are willing to cover our services.
