Why doesn't Dr. Espinosa accept health insurance?
Naturopathic doctors' understanding of wellness does not always parallel what insurance companies believe and pay for. Most insurance plans do not cover naturopathic or acupuncture consultations.
Dr. Espinosa believes that patients should be entitled to the highest standards of care, regardless of cost-influenced decisions made by insurance companies. While some progress is being made in recognition of complementary modalities, insurance companies and government programs like Medicare lag behind in recognition of such efficacious therapies as nutrition, herbal, environmental medicine and mind-body therapies. However, Dr. Espinosa will try to cooperate fully in giving you appropriately coded medical bills and supportive documentation as an Out-of-Network provider so that you can submit them to your insurance company.
