As defined by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, Naturopathic Medicine is "a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals' inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods". Colorado-registered Naturopathic Doctors (ND) and California-licensed NDs must have attended an accredited four-year graduate-level naturopathic medical school that includes the same core basic sciences as a conventional medical school. At naturopathic medical school, students begin their education with the core science curriculum and then proceed to a curriculum based on holistic disciplines, including, but not limited to, botanical medicine, psychology, physical medicine, homeopathy, clinical nutrition, and environmental medicine. In most states, including Colorado, naturopathic doctors also take two rigorous board exams before obtaining a license. For more information on naturopathic schools, please visit here.

No, we serve people, not insurance companies. If you live in Colorado or California, we can provide a superbill for you to request reimbursement from your insurance carrier, but there is no guarantee of coverage. If you are in a different state, we are unable to provide a superbill.

Yes, but only if you reside in Colorado or California, where Dr. Meg holds a license.

Since consultations for those that reside outside of California or Colorado are educational visits only, Dr. Meg does not constitute your medical provider and, therefore, cannot diagnose medical conditions, thus limited to the regulations made by the use of an FSA or HSA account.

You can consult with Dr. Meg over video or phone for those who reside in most states. Dr. Meg is UNABLE to consult those that reside in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida due to either the licensure of NDs there or the unlawful act of practicing naturopathic medicine.
