At the first appointment, the new patient gets the time and attention to share about their health concerns, their general health history, and to explore the contributing lifestyle factors concerning their health. Health and disease are deeply integrated into an individual’s physical habits as well as their emotional awareness, therefore each patient gets to fully express themselves and begins to explore their greater aspirations for health and life. The assessment includes a modest physical exam, review of past labs and imaging and access to Dr McBride’s messaging system for follow up questions and concerns. This comprehensive intake leads to the co-creation of a treatment plan uniquely tailored to the individual’s health and wellness goals. Additional laboratory testing may be recommended; patients will be directed to a private lab if necessary.

Why No Insurance
You may be wondering, why Dr McBride does not bill insurance directly when other medical and Naturopathic providers do. We fully understand the financial challenge this presents to some patients. Below is an explanation as to why we choose not to align with the insurance model.
When clinics bill health insurance companies directly, the doctors are required to become participating providers. The doctors must sign a contract that allows the insurance company to determine which services they will and will not provide and how much they can charge for those services. In general, insurance companies are not focused on any preventive or wellness services. The models that insurance companies use for qualifying treatments are based on allopathic algorithms that mostly end with a pharmaceutical drug as the treatment of choice. I am committed to traditional Naturopathic medicine that addresses the underlying causes of your symptoms, not just suppressing them, and working with you to support nutritional and lifestyle enhancements. Insurance companies do not pay for, or pay appropriately, for these services. A healthcare provider participating with insurance companies must agree to accept the fees the insurance company establishes, regardless of whether the fees are reasonable or applicable to that practice. Most doctors and clinics cope with insurance requirements by keeping their office visits very brief. In today’s healthcare environment, the actual cost for doctors to provide services continues to rise, while the percentage of reasonable fees that insurance payments cover is declining, especially for Naturopathic medicine. I can provide super-bills for my services so that the patient can seek reimbursement through their insurance if they so wish.
Naturopathic medicine is all about removing barriers to health, and if the financial cost is a barrier for you, please reach out to me directly! I maintain a specific number of spots each year for those with financial hardship to pay a reduced rate.
