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.

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

In Ontario, patients can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a physician's referral, known as direct access. However, it is advisable to check with your private or extended health insurance provider, as some plans require a referral for reimbursement. Always verify your insurance coverage before your appointment to understand any specific requirements or limitations.

How long do Naturopathic appointments typically last?

Initial consultations usually last between 60 to 90 minutes to allow for a comprehensive health history, assessment, and discussion of treatment options. Follow-up visits tend to be shorter, typically 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your case and therapies involved.

Does PUSH Markham offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, PUSH Markham offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance providers. Patients are encouraged to bring their insurance cards and confirm their coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or referral requirements, as plans vary. Any costs not covered by insurance are the patient's responsibility.

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

No, services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor in private clinics are generally not covered by OHIP. Patients usually pay out-of-pocket, though many private and extended health insurance plans offer some coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors. It is recommended to review your individual policy for specific details.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

The initial appointment involves a thorough review of your health history, current symptoms, and a physical exam relevant to your concerns.
