However, some private or extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is recommended that patients verify their insurance requirements before booking their first appointment to ensure coverage.

- When provided by a qualified and licensed/registered Naturopathic Doctor, naturopathic treatments are generally very safe.
