A Note on Insurance:
Most extended health insurance plans in Canada cover Naturopathic treatments. Insured patients are encouraged to contact their employer or individual insurance brokers to determine the extent of their coverage. If Naturopathic medicine is not covered by your extended health care plan, contact your provider to request that their policy be extended to include naturopathic services. Since NDs use alternatives to costly techniques and drug therapies, more insurance companies are beginning to investigate expanding coverage of this cost-effective treatment method.
Please note: Naturopathic medicine is currently not covered by any of the provincial health plans.
