Does Clinetic Chiropractic & Massage Therapy & Osteopathy offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, Clinetic Chiropractic & Massage Therapy & Osteopathy offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance companies. Patients are advised to bring their insurance card and confirm their specific coverage details, such as annual maximums, per-visit limits, and referral requirements if applicable, directly with their insurer. Patients are responsible for any portion of the fee not covered by insurance.

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND or Naturopathic Doctor) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?

Medical Doctors (MDs) generally use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathic Doctors or Naturopathes) take a holistic approach, aiming to identify and treat the underlying cause of health issues using natural therapies such as diet, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle changes. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize disease prevention and patient education. While their philosophies differ, Naturopathic Doctors and MDs can complement each other in a patient's overall healthcare plan.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In general, naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Patients typically pay out-of-pocket, but many private or extended health insurance plans do offer coverage for services provided by registered or licensed Naturopathic Doctors. Coverage levels vary significantly between plans, so patients should verify their individual plans.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

This varies depending on the individual and the condition. Some issues resolve quickly, while others may require ongoing support. Your Naturopathic Doctor will provide an estimate after your initial assessment and adjust the treatment plan as needed based on your progress.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

The initial appointment typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and includes a thorough discussion of your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, and environmental factors. A physical examination may be performed. Together, you and your Naturopathic Doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, which may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, supplements, herbal medicine, or lab testing.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in ON?

No, patients in Ontario can generally see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes, so it is advisable to check with your insurer before your appointment.
