Is Naturopathy Covered by Insurance in Ontario?
No — naturopathic services are not covered by OHIP in Ontario. Many employer extended health benefit plans do include naturopathic coverage, usually with an annual maximum, and that coverage is for visits with a licensed naturopathic doctor. Receipts are provided for claims, so you can submit them to your insurer under the terms of your plan.
That short answer is the starting point, not the whole picture. Whether your own visits are covered — and how much you can claim — depends on the details of your plan, so it is worth checking those details before your first visit or soon after.
How coverage usually works
Extended health plans in Ontario are private or employer-sponsored plans, separate from OHIP. When they include naturopathic services, coverage is typically set out as a benefit line in the plan, with its own limits. Those limits are usually described as an annual maximum, which is the most the plan will reimburse for that benefit in a plan year, and sometimes a per-visit cap, which limits how much can be claimed for a single visit.
Plan years do not always follow the calendar year. Some reset in January, while others reset on the anniversary of the plan or on another date set by the employer or insurer. If a plan year resets partway through your care, the amount available to you can change, even if the services themselves have not.
Coverage is generally for the consultation or treatment visit itself. Laboratory tests, supplements or other items may be treated separately, and in some plans they may not be covered at all. That is why a benefit described as “naturopathy” does not automatically mean every part of a care plan is reimbursable.
These are typical patterns, not guarantees. Plans differ widely, and the only way to know what your plan covers is to check the plan documents or ask the insurer directly.
What to check in your plan
Before booking — or before submitting a claim — it helps to confirm five things:
- The naturopathic services line. Confirm that your plan includes naturopathic services as a named benefit, and whether it is listed separately from other paramedical services such as physiotherapy or massage therapy.
- The annual maximum. Find out the most you can claim for naturopathic services in a plan year, and whether that amount is per person or shared across a family.
- Any per-visit limit. Some plans cap the amount reimbursed for a single visit, which can matter if the cost of a visit is higher than that cap.
- Whether a referral is required. A referral is usually not required for naturopathic care, but check your plan — a small number of plans may ask for one before they will process a claim.
- Whether labs and tests are covered separately. Ask whether laboratory testing, or any other services recommended as part of your care, fall under the same benefit or are covered separately, or not at all.
It can also help to confirm how to submit a claim, what information the insurer needs on a receipt, and whether there is a deadline for submitting claims after a visit. Keeping your receipts and noting the date of each visit makes that process easier.
Naturopathic care at ISOMATIC
Naturopathic care at ISOMATIC is offered at the Danforth location only. It is not offered in Vaughan, so please book at Danforth if you would like naturopathic care.
Care at ISOMATIC is assessment-led. A naturopathic visit starts with a detailed discussion of your health history, current concerns, lifestyle and goals, so that any plan is based on your individual situation rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Naturopathic care is also integrative at ISOMATIC. It sits alongside the clinic’s other services, including manual osteopathy and physiotherapy, so that care can be coordinated when more than one approach is relevant. That integration is about sharing a common, assessment-first approach — not about assuming that every service is right for every person.
If you would like to learn more about the service itself, visit the naturopathy page for ISOMATIC Danforth.
Frequently asked questions
Is a naturopath a doctor in Ontario?
Naturopathic doctors are regulated in Ontario under the Naturopathy Act and use the title Doctor, or ND. Regulation sets standards for education, registration and practice, and it is the reason insurers can list naturopathic services as a benefit for visits with a licensed naturopathic doctor.
Can you direct bill?
That depends on the insurer and the plan. Some plans allow direct billing, while others require you to pay for the visit and submit the receipt yourself. Because this varies by insurer, it is best to check with your insurer or plan administrator about how claims are handled for naturopathic visits.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not need a referral to book a naturopathic visit. If your insurer asks for a referral before processing a claim, that is a requirement of the plan rather than of the clinic, so check your plan documents if you are unsure.
If you have extended health coverage, check the five points above, keep your receipts, and ask your insurer if anything is unclear. To discuss naturopathic care at ISOMATIC Danforth, Book Now or call ISOMATIC at 647-873-7556.
