Currently, most health insurances in the state of California and New Hampshire either do not cover naturoapthic doctors (NDs) or limit equitable payouts to NDs. Unfortunately, this limits NDs from being able to bill insurance for naturopathic and functional medical services rendered. Patients are advised to contact their insurance plan to learn if coverage is available for naturopathic doctors as out of network providers. Dr. Ray's practice is a self-pay cash-based model known as "direct elective primary care," which eliminates insurance as a middle-man and allows her to give patients the expansive care they need versus limiting care to only what insurance will cover. If you have an insurance plan with a HSA/FSA account, Dr. Ray is able to accept payments from those accounts in the form of a HSA/FSA benefits card. Please check with your insurance provider for HSA/FSA terms of usage. Some plans require prior authorization or medical authorization forms, which are the patient's responsibility to complete and submit. Dr. Ray can also provide patients with a superbill receipt, upon request, so they can submit to insurance on their own for possible reimbursement.

As a licensed naturopathic doctor, Dr. Ray can legally prescribe an assortment of pharmaceuticals in California and New Hampshire. However, most patients have their drug medications prescribed and monitored by their insurance healthcare providers. Dr. Ray actively manages patients on pharmaceutical drug therapy and can safely wean them off certain medications as their symptoms resolve from natural treatment. Please note, Dr. Ray never prescribes drugs as a first-line treatment unless absolutely necessary for the safety and well-being of the patient. The goal is to always help patients heal naturally from their ailments using nutrition, herbs, lifestyle management and other non-pharmaceutical therapies as the primary treatments.
