MSP

BCND is actively working to expand access to naturopathic care by advocating for more comprehensive MSP coverage for naturopathic services. Currently, BC covers up to $23 for a maximum of 10 visits per year to paramedical providers, which includes naturopathic doctors (NDs). However, this limited coverage falls short of meeting the needs of patients who rely on holistic and preventative care as part of their healthcare journey.

By expanding MSP coverage for naturopathic services, we aim to reduce the financial burden on patients and increase access to a wider range of healthcare options. This change would help address patient demand for integrative care while alleviating strain on the conventional healthcare system. BCND is proud to collaborate with our colleagues across paramedical professions to advocate for equitable coverage that truly meets the health needs of British Columbians. Through these efforts, we are working toward a more inclusive healthcare system that reflects the diversity of patient choices and care preferences.
