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

Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are generally not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for consultations. However, many private and extended health insurance plans offer varying levels of coverage for naturopathic services provided by registered or licensed Naturopathic Doctors. It is advisable for patients to check their individual insurance policies to understand the extent of their coverage, as it can differ significantly between plans.

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 Naturopaths) 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.
