However, while a referral is not usually required to *see* an ND, some private or extended health insurance plans do require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check the specific requirements of your insurance policy before your first appointment to ensure coverage.
- Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?
- It’s helpful to bring any recent lab work (within the last year or two), a complete list of medications and supplements (including brands and doses), and your extended health insurance information. Additionally, filling out any intake forms provided by the clinic beforehand can help streamline your visit and ensure your provider has all necessary information.
