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

Both Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathes) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are healthcare providers, but their approach and primary scope can differ. MDs typically focus on diagnosing and treating diseases using conventional methods like pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathes focus on prevention and use natural therapies to support the body's self-healing abilities, often looking for the root cause of illness. Naturopathes may use treatments like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. In many cases, Naturopathes and MDs can work collaboratively to provide comprehensive patient care. The regulation and scope of practice for Naturopathes vary by province.

Does our clinic offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, our clinic 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, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, and whether a referral is needed. Since coverage can vary, patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their insurance plan.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

The first visit with a Naturopathe involves a comprehensive review of your health history and current symptoms. Expect to spend time discussing your wellness goals and concerns, followed by a physical examination tailored to your needs. Your Naturopathe will then share initial insights and outline potential treatment steps, which may include dietary advice, lifestyle modifications, or natural therapies.

What types of conditions do Naturopathes at our clinic address?

She also offers support for conditions like IBS, hormonal issues such as PCOS and menopause, and autoimmune disorders. Treatments often involve Lifestyle Counseling & Health Promotion, comprehensive health intake, herbal medicine, and nutritional guidance.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In general, naturopathic services provided by a licensed Naturopathe are not covered by RAMQ in Quebec. Most patients pay out-of-pocket, though many private insurance plans offer some coverage. It is recommended to check with your insurer for specific details about your plan's coverage and reimbursement policies.

What is Naturopathic Medicine and how can it help me?

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic healthcare system that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional natural therapies. A licensed Naturopathe aims to support the body's innate healing ability, identify underlying causes of health issues, and promote overall wellness through personalized natural treatments and patient education.

What are some of the specialized therapies Naturopathic Doctors (Naturopathes) might offer if they have extra training?

Some Naturopathes pursue additional certifications in specialized therapies such as intravenous (IV) nutrient therapy, prolotherapy for joint pain, or advanced acupuncture techniques. Availability varies, so inquire directly if you are interested in specific advanced therapies.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathe in QC?

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Naturopathe directly without a referral. However, some private insurance plans require a referral for coverage purposes. It is advisable to check your insurance policy before your appointment to confirm any specific requirements.
