A first appointment lasts 60 to 90 minutes, much longer than a typical conventional doctor visit. The ND will take a detailed health history covering current symptoms, diet, sleep, stress, digestion, previous lab work, and medications or supplements. They may order standard lab tests (blood work, thyroid panel, nutrient levels) and may also use specialized tests. Treatment plans typically include dietary changes, targeted supplements, botanical medicines, and lifestyle modifications. Follow-up visits are 30 to 45 minutes, usually every two to four weeks initially.
People seek naturopathic physicians for chronic conditions that have not responded well to conventional treatment alone, including digestive disorders (IBS, food sensitivities), autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, allergies, and skin conditions. NDs are also consulted for preventive health, nutritional guidance, and integrative cancer support (alongside oncology treatment). Some people choose a naturopathic doctor as their primary care provider, though this works best when the ND is in a licensed state with prescriptive authority and maintains collaborative relationships with conventional physicians.
Initial consultation: $200-400 · Follow-up visit: $100-200 · Lab work: often covered by medical insurance · Supplements: $50-200/month (out of pocket) · With insurance (where covered): $30-75 copay
Insurance coverage for naturopathic medicine is limited. In states that license NDs, some commercial plans cover visits (typically subject to your specialist copay). Washington state mandates ND coverage by commercial insurers. HSA and FSA funds can cover naturopathic visits with a licensed provider. Lab tests ordered by an ND are often covered by your medical insurance when processed through a standard lab. Supplements and botanical medicines are out of pocket. Most NDs offer transparent pricing and package options for ongoing care.
