Insurance Billing for naturopaths
INSURANCE BILLING FOR NATUROPATHS

Insurance billing for naturopathic practice.

E&M codes for new and established patients, MNT codes (97802/97803), state-specific naturopathic coverage support, and superbill flow for cash-pay clients.

How naturopaths actually use this

Naturopathic billing varies significantly by state. Licensed-state NDs (CA, OR, WA, AZ, etc.) can bill major insurers; non-licensed-state NDs typically operate cash-pay with HSA/FSA superbills. Stillpoint handles both flows.

The typical workflow

  1. 1New patient: comprehensive E&M (99204/99205) billed on initial visit
  2. 2Established patient: appropriate E&M level (99213/99214/99215) based on complexity
  3. 3MNT (97802/97803) for nutrition-focused visits
  4. 4Cash-pay: auto-generated superbill for HSA/FSA / out-of-network reimbursement

Concerns we hear most

Will my state's ND licensure affect billing?

Yes — licensed-state NDs have direct billing options; non-licensed states typically operate cash-pay. Both flows are supported.

Can I bill MNT codes?

Yes — 97802 (initial) and 97803 (follow-up) MNT codes are supported with proper time-based selection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bill both E&M and MNT on one visit?

In some cases — it depends on payer policy and proper modifier use. Stillpoint flags potential coding conflicts before submission.

Does the system handle Medicaid for ND?

State-specific. OR and WA Medicaid commonly cover ND services; others vary. Verified per state at signup.

Can clients use HSA for naturopathic visits?

Yes if there's a qualifying medical condition. Stillpoint generates the receipt with appropriate ICD-10 coding.
