What to Expect From a Naturopathic Visit?

First Visit

In this hour-long consultation, I review your intake form and we focus on your heath history, current medical concerns and short and long term health goals. If necessary I will perform a focused physical exam and order diagnostic tests. Using this information I create a personalized treatment plan and a timeline for future visits.  Therapies such as acupuncture or injection therapies may be done during this initial visit if time allows. Please complete your intake form prior to arriving at the clinic and bring any recent lab work to give us the maximum time to begin treatment. No referral is necessary. To book an appointment see "contact us" for phone numbers, online booking and locations.

Follow up visits 

During this 30-minute check up, I inquire how you are progressing with your treatment plan, and make any modifications if necessary. We may review lab results during this visit and/or perform therapies such as acupuncture, IV, chelation or craniosacral therapy.

Initial visits and follow up visits are always based on the time we use in the appointment but there are specific treatments that may vary depending on the ingredients used or on the time spent with the patient. These treatments include IV therapies, chelation therapies, prolotherapy, additional diagnostic testing and nutritional supplements. Extended visits can also be booked if you feel you require more time or if you have new concerns.

Insurance and coverage:

Naturopathic medicine is not covered by the basic medical services plan (BC Care). 

However, naturopathic medicine is covered by most extended health plans. All plans vary - some may cover labs and other therapies, so it is important to ask your provider about the specific limits of your plan. 

West Kelowna Acupuncture can direct bill most extended health plans for your naturopathic visit costs. If your plan does not allow direct billing, you can submit receipts and be reimbursed by your provider.
