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 encouraged to bring their insurance card to each visit and verify their coverage details, including annual maximums, per-visit limits, and any referral requirements, directly with their insurer. Patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their plan.

What should I expect during my first Naturopathic appointment?

Your initial Naturopathic appointment is typically quite comprehensive, often lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Éliane will conduct an in-depth discussion about your current health concerns, medical history (including family history), diet, lifestyle, stress levels, sleep patterns, and environmental exposures. A relevant physical examination may also be performed. The goal is to gather a thorough understanding of your overall health to identify potential root causes of your issues. Based on this, Éliane will discuss initial impressions and collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations, supplement or herbal suggestions, and possibly requisitions for further lab testing.

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

Medical Doctors (MDs) generally use conventional medicine, including prescription drugs and surgery, to treat specific diseases and symptoms. Naturopathes (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. Naturopathes emphasize disease prevention and patient education. While their philosophies differ, Naturopathes and MDs can complement each other in a patient's overall healthcare plan.

Approximately how many Naturopathic sessions will I need?

The number of Naturopathic sessions required varies greatly depending on the nature and chronicity of your health concerns, your individual health goals, your body's response to treatment, and your commitment to implementing the recommended dietary and lifestyle changes. Éliane will discuss a proposed treatment frequency and estimated timeline after your initial assessment and will continually re-evaluate your progress with you.

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

In Quebec, patients can generally see a Naturopathe (Naturopathic Doctor) directly without a physician's referral. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check your specific insurance policy beforehand to confirm requirements. Éliane recommends bringing your insurance information to your first visit to facilitate any potential billing processes.

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 the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ). Patients usually pay out-of-pocket for these services. However, many private insurance plans offer coverage for naturopathic care, so it is recommended to review your individual policy to understand your benefits, as coverage levels can vary significantly.
