General Questions
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary care that emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage the body’s inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic doctors (NMDs) in Arizona are trained as primary care physicians and can diagnose and treat medical conditions, order and interpret laboratory tests and imaging, prescribe pharmaceutical medications when necessary, perform minor surgical procedures, and utilize natural therapies including botanical medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, and physical medicine. Our approach focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of disease rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
Insurance & Payment
We are an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans. However, many patients receive partial reimbursement from their insurance companies. What we provide: • Detailed superbills (receipts with medical codes) that you can submit to your insurance • Guidance on how to submit for reimbursement • Documentation for medical necessity when needed We recommend calling your insurance company and asking about out-of-network benefits for naturopathic medicine (CPT codes 99201-99215 for office visits). Many PPO plans offer 50-80% reimbursement for out-of-network providers.
