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 cards and verify their specific coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, and any referral requirements, directly with their insurer. It is important to note that patients are responsible for any portion of the cost not covered by insurance.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?

For your first visit, please bring copies of any recent lab test results (blood work, imaging, etc.) from the past 1-2 years. Also, prepare a list of all current medications and natural health supplements you are taking, including dosages. If you have a complex medical history, a brief timeline of significant health events can be helpful. Lastly, if you plan to use private health insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details.

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

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

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathe recommend?

Your Naturopathe may suggest various lab tests to assess your health, ranging from standard blood work to specialized functional tests like hormone panels, food sensitivity testing, gut microbiome analysis, or environmental toxin screening. The goal is to gather detailed information to tailor an effective treatment plan.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

Your initial appointment typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. Manon will conduct a detailed health history, discuss your current concerns, diet, lifestyle, stress levels, sleep, and environmental exposures. A physical exam may be performed. The aim is to understand your overall health and identify root causes, leading to a personalized treatment plan which might include dietary, lifestyle, supplement, or herbal recommendations, and possibly further testing.

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

Generally, naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in a private clinic are not covered by RAMQ. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket. It is recommended to check with private or extended health insurance plans, as many offer some coverage for services by licensed Naturopathic Doctors. Coverage levels vary significantly between plans.

How long do Naturopathic appointments typically last?

Initial consultations are typically between 60 to 90 minutes, allowing for a comprehensive health assessment. Follow-up visits are usually shorter, around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the case and therapies involved.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally see a Naturopathe directly without a referral. However, it is advisable to verify whether your private health insurance plan requires a referral for reimbursement purposes, as policies differ. It is recommended to check your insurance policy before your appointment.
