Are Naturopathic treatments safe?

When provided by a qualified and licensed/registered Naturopathe, Naturopathic treatments are generally very safe. They prioritize using therapies with a low risk of side effects and are trained to recognize situations where a treatment might not be suitable for an individual. Open communication with your Naturopathe about your health and any other treatments you're receiving is key to ensuring safety.

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

Naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are generally NOT covered by provincial health plans like RAMQ. Patients typically pay out-of-pocket for these services. However, many private or extended health insurance plans may offer some coverage for services provided by registered or licensed Naturopathic Doctors. Patients are encouraged to check their individual insurance policies for specific coverage details, as the level of reimbursement varies significantly between plans.

What types of conditions do Naturopathes at our clinic address?

Our Naturopathes address a wide range of health concerns, with a focus on identifying and treating the root cause. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like digestive health, hormonal imbalances, stress management, and skin conditions. Common services involve lifestyle counseling, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, detoxification protocols, and support for chronic and acute illnesses tailored to each patient’s needs.

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

Patients in Quebec can typically see a Naturopathe (Naturopathic Doctor) directly without a physician's referral, as part of the direct access model. However, some private or extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement purposes. It is advisable to check with your insurance provider beforehand to confirm their specific requirements.

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

Both Naturopathic Doctors and Medical Doctors are healthcare providers, but their approach and scope differ. MDs mainly diagnose and treat diseases using conventional medicine, including pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathes focus on prevention and supporting the body's natural healing processes through natural therapies like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. They aim to address the root causes of health issues and often work collaboratively with MDs to provide comprehensive care.

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

Yes, our clinic offers direct billing to many major private insurance companies for Naturopathic services. Patients should bring their insurance card to each appointment and confirm their coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or referral requirements, directly with their insurer. Any remaining balance not covered by insurance is the patient's responsibility.
