Due to the nature of services and items sold, all sales of medicines, products and services are final.

Insurance:

Some insurance carriers do cover naturopathic medicine. Call your carrier to see if you are covered. While we do not currently bill insurance, we do give you what is called a "superbill," which has all the necessary coding needed for you to mail in to your carrier for reimbursement if you are covered. Bare Medicine does not carry malpractice insurance.

• Any order of supplements online through Bare Medicine will give you a discount of 10% off and be directly shipped to your home. Ask about how to register for this at your next visit!

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine emphasizes the prevention of disease. We teach you the tools to live a balanced & healthy life for both body & mind. When you do need help with your health, we use nature to heal through herbs, nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy & more.

Naturopathic doctors:

• Listen to your personal health concerns and work with you on your treatment goals
  
• Graduated from a 4-year accredited post-graduate medical school
  
• Treat the whole person - mind, body & spirit
• Investigate and treat the root or cause of disease, rather than masking symptoms
  
• Use natural substances to heal whenever possible
  
• Educate patients about prevention of disease
• Prescribe pharmaceuticals when needed
• Order and interpret labs/imaging as needed
  
• Are an excellent choice for your health provider!
