Insurance billing for naturopathic practice.
E&M and MNT codes on your services, electronic claims through Stedi where you can bill insurers, and superbills or insurer receipts for cash-pay clients everywhere else.
How naturopaths actually use this
Naturopathic billing depends on your state or province. Licensed-state NDs bill insurers; others run cash-pay with reimbursement receipts. Stillpoint handles both: services carry E&M (99202 to 99215) or MNT (97802, 97803) codes, claims go through Stedi, and cash-pay clients get a superbill or insurer receipt from the invoice.
The typical workflow
- 1New patient: the initial consult service carries its E&M code
- 2Follow-ups: the established-patient service carries the appropriate level
- 3Nutrition visits: MNT services with 97802 or 97803
- 4Insured clients: eligibility check, ICD-10 on the claim, submit through Stedi
- 5Cash-pay clients: superbill or insurer receipt from the invoice
Works with what you already use
Common tools naturopaths pair with insurance billing.
Concerns we hear most
Will my state's ND licensure affect billing?
Yes. Where you can bill insurers, use Stedi claims. Where you cannot, clients reimburse from a superbill. Both come from the same invoice.
Can I bill MNT codes?
Yes. Set up MNT services with 97802 or 97803 and add them to the visit's invoice.
Frequently asked questions
Can I bill both E&M and MNT on one visit?
Add both services to the invoice and both lines go on the claim. Payer policy on billing them together is yours to check; Stillpoint does not flag coding conflicts.
Does the system handle Medicaid for ND?
Search your state's plan in the insurance hub to see whether Stedi supports claims and eligibility for it.
Can clients use an HSA for naturopathic visits?
If their plan allows it. The superbill from the invoice has the CPT code and your provider details; add the diagnosis if the administrator asks for one.
